MarinaLink Bahamas – MVP Web Platform Development

MarinaLink is a digital platform built to serve the marine industry in The Bahamas. We’re developing a professional, modern, mobile-friendly web app where boat captains, mates, crew, and marine service professionals can create profiles, connect with charter companies, find work, and build visibility.

We are hiring a developer to build our MVP (Minimum Viable Product) using Webflow, Memberstack, and Stripe.

🖌️ Design & Branding

• Contract-to-hire: Possible, based on performance and fit

⸻

💲 Budget

• Hourly: $15–$35 USD/hour

• I’m open to signing an NDA to protect both parties.

📌 About Me

I’m a Bahamian marine professional launching this startup to empower our local industry. I already have the LLC, EIN, domain name, and logo finalized. This MVP will serve as the foundation for something much bigger in the long term — including a future mobile app for iOS and Android.

Looking forward to seeing your proposal and any ideas you bring to the table.
