The challenge
Where we started.
Creators, photographers, podcasters, corporate teams, and event organizers in Chennai and Bangalore needed a straightforward way to find and rent short-term creative spaces without the friction of back-and-forth inquiries and opaque pricing. On the other side of the market, space owners needed a simple way to put their studios, rooms, and venues in front of the people looking for them. Spottle set out to bridge that gap with a marketplace that makes spaces discoverable, prices transparent, and bookings quick to complete.
Our approach
What we built.
WitsCode built Spottle as a two-sided marketplace web application. Guests can explore listings filtered by city (Chennai or Bengaluru) and by category, including photo studios, podcast studios, meeting rooms and pods, workshop spaces, event venues, and restaurant spaces. Each listing is presented as a card with a descriptive name, category tags, location, and a clear starting hourly rate, linking through to an individual space page for booking.
For the supply side, the platform includes a host flow that lets space owners add a listing, set their own rates, and manage availability through an Add Listing path. Account security is handled with email verification, and the experience leans on an hourly pricing model with instant booking and transparent rates positioned as core differentiators, with messaging built around trusted hosts, easy booking, and no hidden fees.
Beyond the core booking flow, the build covers the supporting pages a live marketplace needs: an About section, a blog with space-related guides, FAQs, and the full set of policy pages (privacy, cancellation, terms and conditions, terms of service). A launch promotion mechanic (a discount code) is wired into the experience to support go-to-market.
