Features

Structured Provider Profiles

Build a page that's really yours, not just a name in a list. A structured template with clear sections lets you show your skills, your services, and your own unique identity, kind of like LinkedIn, but built for what you actually do.

  • Main Top Box

    A quick snapshot of your business, the first thing a household sees when they land on your profile.

  • About Us & Details

    Share your story and mission, along with practical details like payment info and work hours.

  • Services & Skills

    An in-depth look at what you offer, including how it's priced.

  • Achievements & Certifications

    Highlight what you've accomplished and any certifications you hold.

  • Team Section

    Showcase the people behind your business and what makes each of them unique, since real personalities make a business feel more personal.

  • Portfolio Showcase

    One of our standout features. It mirrors social media, giving you room to get creative and build visibility for your business (e.g., before-and-afters, finished project shots, seasonal work, client shoutouts, behind-the-scenes clips). Organize it all into collections that followers can like and comment on.

  • No Lead Fees

    Get connected with interested households without paying per lead or per booking. Ever.

  • Interest Form Requests

    Households reach out through a simple interest form instead of cold messaging, so every request comes in organized and ready to respond to.

  • Minors Welcome

    Providers as young as 16 can join, with accounts linked to a parent for notifications and extra privacy protections built in.

  • Follow & Friend System

    See exactly which providers your friends recommend. Follow your favorite providers, friend other households, and watch referrals show up right in your feed instead of having to ask around.

  • Spotlight Endorsements

    Endorse up to 3 providers you trust, and they'll stay visible on that provider's profile permanently. It's word of mouth, just digitized and visible across your whole network instead of one conversation at a time.

  • Verified Reviews

    Reviews only come from households with an actual booking history, so what you see reflects real experience, not random ratings.

  • Home Feed & Notifications

    Stay updated when providers you follow post new work, and see recommendations from friends in your network.

  • Simple Operational Tools

    Basic tools to manage your business, such as scheduling and analytics, kept simple on purpose so new providers aren't overwhelmed.

  • Category Browsing

    Explore providers by service category, from tutoring to yard work to creative work, and filter by what's actually near you.

  • Community Beyond the App

    Join the HomeNex Discord and follow along on Instagram, TikTok, and LinkedIn for tips, spotlights, and support.

  • User-Friendly Interface

    Designed specifically around our target population, teenagers and young adults, so navigating HomeNex feels natural from the first tap.

  • Parent-Supervised Profiles

    For providers under 18, a linked parent account keeps them in the loop. Parents approve all message requests and bookings before anything moves forward.

  • Gamified Milestones

    Earn recognition as you grow, including Top Pick badges and in-app achievements for milestones like your 100th client, so every provider feels supported along the way.

  • Background Checks

    We're exploring optional background checks for providers who want the extra layer of trust on their profile.
