PoundPost
A £1-to-post listings marketplace: buying, selling, jobs, and giveaways, all in one place.
The idea
£1 to post a listing, £1 to boost it for 7 days, no commission on anything sold. It covers every category, not just one.
What's built
- On-platform messaging between buyers and sellers, with location filtering throughout
- Full user dashboards and full staff dashboards
- Every UI component fully custom, nothing off-the-shelf
- Full build docs written and ready to hand to engineering
On the site
- Sixteen categories, from electronics and property through to jobs, services and hire
- A free section, for what is being given away rather than sold
- A location set per visitor, filtering the feed to a place
- The whole flow stated in three steps on the page: write it, pay £1, boost it if you want
- A live feed of what has just been posted
The brand
The logo direction is deliberately still open. Nine early directions were rejected for being variations on drawing the £ symbol itself rather than actually solving it. The settled direction is a bold, graphic symbol-plus-wordmark pairing, built to still look right in fifty years.
