Show Hn: Freelance Marketplace

11 points by fraserk 12 years ago | 3 comments

This is my new sideproject. Would love to have to feedback on deisgn and functionality. Metrolancer.com - is freelance marketplace where programmer and designers can sell their service for whatever price they wish. You determine how much your service is worth.

Thanks

You should proofread your writing. If you are not a native English speaker, pay somebody who is to do your writing. It is really bad.

At first glance it is very unclear exactly what you are selling. It seems to center around "gigs". In the parlance of your site, what is a "gig"? This is not communicated well.

For programmers/designers in the Western World, the biggest problem with these sites is that they quickly get flooded with cheap labor from the developing world. Does this site solve that problem?

If I have time later to look more closely I will, but at first glance its a ghost town. You will need to populate this site A LOT before you request feedback. Right now its like a blog without any posts or description. I bounced after 10 seconds and that was being generous.

What are examples of how this works? Tell me a story in video. Sell it to us.

Hi, I haven't had much of a close look at the site. I quite like the initial design, but one thing I think it would really benefit from is a simple search interface on the home page.
