about

this is a platform to unite small businesses, small biz enthusiasts and shoppers on one platform. through one beautiful and easy to use app, we unite people in cities and localities to what gives economy flavor - small businesses.

how it works

businesses are listed in the app. a separate app is built for each city, with navigable localities. several tags are created for users to functionally navigate the app. member profiles are created manually. businesses have the ability to customize profiles and add custom content. this is behind a paywall. the custom content is all content with buttons on the profile pages. the intention is to make it fun, beautiful, and engaging.

vision

the vision is to conquer one market first. this is likely columbus, oh. once the app profiles are complete - and as many businesses as possible have chosen the payment for customization, we move on to the short-term expansion ideas (listed below), of a community portal and forum. after we have all our processes down and engaged people as much as possible, we follow an expansion plan to move quickly to other cities. once this scaling process is down, we can move on to the long-term expansion plans.
