Why this platform matters

A focused marketplace for Saudi design demand

The platform is designed for a local context in which architectural identity, interior quality, and project presentation matter more than generic listings. It gives designers a stronger stage and gives clients a clearer basis for comparison.

Prototype value

One profile can support hiring and one-time design requests

Instead of acting only as a job board, Riwaq allows every designer profile to function as a hiring signal, a portfolio page, and a service landing page for individuals who want one specific design task.

Target users

Built for companies, individuals, and designers

The concept serves both structured hiring needs and smaller personal design requests, which makes it a more flexible digital product for the university assignment.

For companies and studios

Browse specialists, compare portfolios, and discover professionals available for long-term or part-time collaboration.

For homeowners and individuals

Request one façade, one majlis, one apartment concept, or one design consultation without a long contract.

For designers

Present work samples, tools, availability, and services inside a polished portfolio-first identity.

Designer directory

Search and filter designers from the main page

Use the search bar and filters to narrow designers by specialty, work type, and city. Every result still opens a dedicated profile page with fictional contact details for demonstration only.

Search and filters

Search by designer name or keyword, then refine the list by specialty, work type, and city.

Platform logic

How the user journey works

The experience is intentionally simple. A visitor discovers a designer, checks the portfolio evidence, understands availability, and decides whether the need is a one-time request or a longer collaboration.

Prototype scope

Ready to expand in later assignment stages

This version now establishes the landing experience, bilingual brand identity, interactive filtering, and individual profile pages. The next logical additions are inquiry forms and a one-project request flow.

01

Discover the right designer

Visitors can search and filter profiles by specialty, city, and preferred work mode before opening a portfolio.

02

Review portfolio evidence

Every profile highlights selected works, contact options, and the kind of service the designer can offer.

03

Connect for one project or more

The platform supports both long-term hiring interest and one-time design requests from individuals.

University project prototype

Riwaq demonstrates how a designer marketplace can feel curated, credible, and portfolio-led.

The current version includes the landing experience, interactive filtering, bilingual navigation, and separate profile pages for each featured designer. The structure is now suitable for continuing the assignment with proposal writing and later feature expansion.
