However, the customer is provided with an additional left side menu with options to see the services, and also his/her private message box and also his/her favourite services.

Finally, the members of the marketplace can communicate using the forum as well as the built-in messaging service. The goal of the built-in messaging service is to support the communication of the two different types of stakeholders; those providing a service and those using a service. This way, a customer who is interested in a service can communicate directly with its owner for requesting more information, asking questions or even mentioning issues, as depicted in Figure 14.

3. Manager Walkthrough
When a user logs in to the platform with a manager account, a view similar to the customer one is provided, with the same three categories as described before. However, when selecting each of the categories, the manager accesses not only to customer view, but also to a dedicated view that can be used in order to create new services or to access the services that he/she offers. The customer view is depicted in Figure 15, while the manager view is depicted in Figure 16.
