We are a marketplace to buy and sell customized license plates AKA Vanity plates in the United States.
Website Build Job Post
We are looking to create a marketplace for individuals to buy and sell their personalized license plates in the US.
The marketplace should be designed with Mobile first and be very simple to use.
The marketplace should have: Homepage, "Sell" Page, "Buy a Plate" Page, Listing Page with a search and listings, Product/license plate page where they can bid and or purchase, account creation pages Buyer&Selleraccount creation pages Buyer&Seller Blog Area, support page, How It Works, About Us, FAQ, etc.
We want to go with something similar to https://www.carreg.co.uk/ but slightly different. We will have a little less functionality and explaining to do for this initial build.
For a quick explanation: we want to put together a duplicate of this website... https://www.carreg.co.uk/ We don't want to make it an exact copy, it should be different enough so someone wouldn't right away think we copied it. Does that make sense? Also, the United States license plates are a different size. Please keep that in mind when picking photos or using dimensions.

They should also be able to see all the available plates for sale in that state, there should be large calls to action to buy a plate or sell a plate. Each with their own cool landing page describing the process with large images and text. There should be large calls to action.
The sign up should be very large sign up/go through the process items. It should be one question at a time very large with a progress bar. There are a lot of services and codes out there that have this already. Something like: https://leadformly.com/templates/#other
Once a someone lists their plate and finds a buyer. Both parties will go through a process similar to donotpay.com and Jotform. They will be presented with one question at a time that will automatically fill out a PDF. At the end of the questions they will be presented with all the PDF files they need to close the transaction and complete the license plate exchange. (link removed)
Here are examples that we like with the type of things we like:
https://www.carreg.co.uk/
https://www.myplates.com.au/#!/home
https://www.myplates.com/gr8pl8s
Also, how you plate could look example:
https://www.dmv.ca.gov/wasapp/ipp2/processConfigPlate.do
https://angelplates.net/
For the process of selling/listing and or looking up/building out a plate... we want it to go something similar to this: Missing Link
We would like to have a plate image for each option. The ability for the user to enter in what they want and see how it will look on the plate. IE: Rendered/photos of the blank plate... as they type... the letters appear on the plate in the correct way for visualization purposes.
So, with everything we have outlined. I did more research on functionality and looks and these are my additional notes. Functionality:

I like this layout and the size. I like that you can acquire the item, make an offer or choose a third option. The idea is we could offer different backgrounds… or perhaps choose your plate holder? Also that they can ask a question… https://www.singulart.com/en/artworks/pol-ledent-r%C3%A9veil-tranquille-65413
