My Career Shop

Custom website with a mission: Career Counseling & Career Planning. My Career Shop is an ambitious and innovative startup with the mission to approach career building from a completely new perspective. The platform offers career counseling and career coaching services, and we designed and developed a fully custom website for it.

First Design Steps – Career Counseling Marketplace

The first development iteration was a classic website-based marketplace where:

• Counselors could register, create profiles, and collect reviews,
• Users could browse, book consultations,
• Transactions were handled through a secure payment system,
• An admin panel ensured smooth platform operation.

A special highlight of this version was a fully custom-built scheduling system, on par with Calendly, that made booking counseling sessions seamless.

This version was technically complete and functional. However, the client decided to focus their marketing strategy heavily on organic SEO growth. Instead of running the first version with paid ads, we shifted toward creating a platform that could generate large amounts of searchable content on its own.

BIG DATA Knowledge Hub – The New Direction

In the second iteration, the My Career Shop Knowledge Base was born. It contains thousands of unique pages and provides detailed information for over 1,000 careers, including:

• Average salaries and pay ranges across regions,
• Required skills and competencies,
• Personality and strength profiles,
• Career paths and entry tips,
• Lifestyle and work rhythm descriptions,
• Resume templates and practical tools,
• Video and podcast content from professionals in popular fields.

This way, the platform functions both as an information hub and a service marketplace, where users can also receive personalized career counseling.

Custom Website – Podcasts & Interviews as a Career Counseling Add-On

Career planning requires more than simply connecting counselors and clients. The platform itself had to deliver value and insight.

The podcasts and interviews allow users to hear directly from professionals about their real experiences, challenges, and career journeys. This helps job seekers gain a realistic picture of their chosen career and provides valuable guidance during the job search.

Behind the Scenes of Development

One of the biggest challenges for our team was managing such a massive dataset while keeping the website efficient and easy to use. In building and optimizing the platform, we had to consider every aspect of web development: design, UX, SEO, and user experience.

The final version of My Career Shop is a strong, long-term sustainable platform.

Tech Stack

For design and frontend, we used the HeroUI (formerly NextUI) component library, the application was built on the Next.js framework, powered by Supabase on the backend, and hosted on Vercel.

Client Satisfaction

According to Trustpilot reviews, the final platform exceeded expectations. Our client praised the high quality of our work, and the collaboration was valuable for everyone involved. We continue to support them with ongoing operations.

The website mycareershop.com can be accessed via VPN, as it is currently available only in Canada and the United States.
