GigFinder: Live Performer & Event Talent Booking Marketplace
Connecting artists, musicians, DJs, and live performers with event planners through seamless mobile bookings.
GigFinder (com.app.gig_finder) is a talent-booking mobile marketplace engineered to connect live performers, DJs, musicians, and event planners. Featuring event opportunity discovery, performer portfolios with audio previews, in-app rate negotiations, upfront payments, and OTP-based attendance verification, GigFinder provides a unified mobile booking experience published on Google Play.
The Challenge
Organizing live entertainment for events historically relies on fragmented, informal channels like social DMs, word-of-mouth recommendations, and unsecured payment promises. Event planners struggle to evaluate performer credibility, confirm equipment availability, and negotiate fair terms without risk of no-shows. Conversely, performers face inconsistent gig discovery, unclear expectations, and delayed payments. The core design and development challenge was engineering a balanced, two-sided mobile marketplace that addresses these pain points with clear discovery, transparent negotiations, and verified attendance mechanisms.
The Weblinx Solution
From high-fidelity Figma UI/UX architecture to Android mobile deployment, the project unified the talent-booking journey into an intuitive application. The design establishes distinct but complementary workflows for planners and artists: planners can post gigs, browse portfolios with live audio samples, and send offers, while performers can filter opportunities, negotiate rates through structured in-app messaging, and secure their earnings through upfront escrow and 6-digit OTP arrival verification.
