Cars from the UAE · Dubai
MashynBazar
The online showroom of a Dubai car dealer, built for buyers who never walk the lot — a film at night, a catalogue by daylight

The brief
A showroom for buyers who never walk the lot
MashynBazar sells new and used cars from a lot in Al Quoz, Dubai’s industrial quarter, and ships them on to Almaty, Tashkent, Baku, Moscow and Riyadh.
A buyer there cannot kick the tyres. What they have is the dealer’s reviews on YouTube, a stack of photos, a manager on WhatsApp — and a few thousand kilometres between them and the car.
So the site does the walk-around. The film makes the car wanted, the catalogue answers what the lot would, and a manager is one tap from any car.

The lights come on
The catalogue answers what the lot would
The first screen is a film: one car under red light in a dark hall. Everything after it is daylight — white cards, grey chips, and red only where something matters.
Each card carries what a buyer would ask on the lot: engine, drive, power, 0–100 and the price in dollars, before anything is opened.
Open a car and the gallery stands beside its spec tiles, the price above them and a manager one tap below — so nothing needs asking twice.
01 — The catalogue
Every card is already a spec sheet
02 — The car
The gallery and the sheet, side by side
03 — The manager
One tap from a car to a conversation
Before the catalogue
The dealer already had an audience
MashynBazar films the market from its own lot — reviews, prices, test drives — for a Russian-speaking channel of 84 thousand subscribers.
So the home page does not link away to it. The newest review, the long videos and the Shorts sit right under the first screen, and play without leaving the site.
People who came for a video stay for the cars: the catalogue starts where the Shorts end.

How it runs
Built for the dealer to run alone
Stock
Cars are added in an admin: every spec field, photos dropped in and put in order, a status that hides a sold car, a YouTube link per car.
Two languages
Russian and English down to the car — titles, specs and descriptions each have both fields, and every line of the interface is edited on a translations screen.
Requests
The contact form and the manager window land in the dealer’s Telegram. The manager’s WhatsApp and Telegram are set in the admin, not in code.
Spam
Eight layers stand between a bot and that chat: a signed one-time token, a captcha, a hidden field, an origin check, rate limits, a spam score, duplicate suppression and an audit log. Obvious spam never arrives; doubtful requests arrive flagged.
Videos
The YouTube section reads the channel’s public pages and feed — no API key to expire — and keeps a copy on disk, so a slow YouTube never leaves it empty.
Second visits
It installs as an app and keeps its shell, fonts and car photos on the device. When a new build ships, the page offers a one-tap refresh.

What came out
A buyer thousands of kilometres away compares cars spec by spec before the first message
The dealer runs the stock, the copy and the contacts alone, in two languages
