I need a “calendar portal thingy” for my cleaning business. I would like to have clients log in to a portal and there’s a calendar where they can input the days they want to have a cleaning. Then, I would like my cleaners to log into their portal and choose the cleanings they want to perform. Also, there should be automatic emails sent when jobs are claimed and cleanings are added.
I had AI write up a job posting for fiverr. If I show them this will they understand? I’ve never spoken to a developer in real life, I come here for the memes. I feel like this is an easy project for someone but I’ve been wrong about many, many things in life. Here’s the prompt: Build Simple Client + Cleaner Calendar Portal for Vacation Rental Business
Description:
I run a vacation rental cleaning business and need a basic portal set up.
I want property owners to be able to log in and submit their cleaning dates easily. I want cleaners to be able to log in and claim available cleanings.
I already have a Google domain. I’m open to using Airtable + Softr, or another simple solution you recommend.
Key features I need:
Property owners submit cleaning dates + notes
Cleaners see available cleanings + claim them
Status updates (claimed / completed)
Very simple user experience
Mobile-friendly
Bonus if you can connect it to my Wave account later for invoicing, but not required for now.
I want someone who can get it done cleanly, communicate well, and not overcomplicate it.
Please show me an example of a portal you’ve built before.
Thank you!
Tags you should add when posting:
Portal, Airtable, Softr, Web App, Cleaning Business, Booking System, Small Business Automation
As a developer, it looks clear enough to me, but I’d suggest two changes.
“Status updates” - You don’t say who you want to be able to view the status of a posting.
“Bonus if you can connect it to my Wave account…” - probably better to phrase it “Ideally it would connect to my Wave account…”. You’re listing requirements, after all.
Also, you might need to consider adding an admin page where you can manage accounts, see all jobs listed, etc. although the rest of the post is high-level, so maybe it’s something to bring up in the discussions.
Finally, I’m sure you realised this already, but the last lines of the AI response are for you, and not part of the text itself.
Thank you for your help. Yes’ I would like an admin page to approve the schedules and manage the users and, I suppose, whatever else needs to happen behind the scenes. You have helped me clarify what I need!
