Starting point
More at Home connects property owners with registered tradespeople and complements this matching with a renovation calculation. For owners, the path starts with the question of which costs arise in different renovation areas. For the platform, that means a system that can connect calculation and making contact.
This task goes beyond a single form flow. The cost estimate should be reachable on mobile, the platform needs central application logic, and the public interface must present the results and next steps. In addition, variants are compared via A/B testing, so usage signals are also part of the technical implementation.
The decision
I implement the backend with Laravel, the frontend with Next.js, and the renovation calculator as a Vue PWA. Each part has a concrete job: Laravel carries the platform logic, Next.js the web interface, and the PWA the mobile-optimised entry into the calculation.
A/B testing is also part of my technical scope. It runs via usertrax and makes variants of the digital path comparable. My responsibility therefore covers backend, frontend, mobile calculator, and the measurement foundation as parts of the same platform system.
The build
The Vue PWA calculator maps the renovation cost estimate as a standalone mobile application layer. A PWA can be used via the browser on small devices and still stays connected to the platform. For this case, that is the concrete bridge between an early calculation and the further matching path.
Laravel and Next.js split the technical work between application logic and presentation. Calculations and platform data are processed centrally, while the interface outputs its respective steps for users and the PWA carries mobile access.
usertrax adds A/B testing to the build. Variants can thus be compared against observed usage signals. The measurement method is a fixed part of the implementation and connects work on the interfaces with a technical foundation for variant comparison.
In operation
The platform has grown to a real scale: more than 2,200 tradespeople are registered, over 700 properties have been modernised, and the associated renovation volume is more than 18 million euros. Each figure describes a different layer of the running system.
The tradespeople figure describes the existing matching network, the property figure completed modernisations, and the volume the economic scope of these projects. In technical operations, Laravel backend, Next.js frontend, Vue PWA calculator, and A/B testing continue to work as parts of the same running digital matching platform for owners and tradespeople.
