How it works

A simple auction discovery flow.

The Bid Portal starts as a discovery marketplace: auction houses publish profiles and upcoming sales, while bidders search auctions and lots before registering interest.

1. Auction houses publish

Each auction house can have a profile, specialties, region, and upcoming auction links.

2. Auctions collect lots

Sales can be organized by date, category, location, and featured items.

3. Bidders discover

Bidders browse auctions, compare lots, and follow the right sale before bidding opens.

Launch focus

Start clean, then add bidding tools.

The first live version should make discovery easy. After the structure is stable, account features, alerts, registration forms, and deeper auction tools can be layered in.
