Bidirectional Freelancing App
Bidirectional Freelancing App
Abstract:
Freelancing has been a popular career choice for a long time, with platforms
like Fiverr and Upwork offering distinct functionalities. On Fiverr, individuals
list the services they offer, and buyers choose the right freelancer for their
needs. In contrast, Upwork allows task owners to post their projects and
receive bids from freelancers, who then compete to be selected for the job.
Combining these features, a bi-directional freelancing platform would
incorporate elements from both Fiverr and Upwork, providing a
comprehensive solution for both service providers and clients.
Features:
User Registration and Profile Management
Users can sign up as either a service provider or a client and create a
detailed profile that includes skills, experience, portfolio, and reviews.
Service Listings
Service providers can create and manage listings of the services they
offer, similar to Fiverr, including descriptions, pricing, and delivery
times.
Job Posting
Clients can post detailed job descriptions, including scope, budget, and
deadlines, allowing service providers to bid on the work.
Bidding System
Service providers can browse job postings and submit proposals,
including a quote and timeline, to clients for consideration, as seen on
Upwork.
Escrow Service
Funds are held in escrow until the work is completed and approved by
the client, ensuring security for both parties.
Dashboards
Both clients and service providers have dashboards to manage their
activities, including current jobs, messages, earnings, and reviews.
Subscription Plans
Offer different subscription tiers for enhanced features, such as
increased bidding limits, highlighted listings, or advanced analytics.
Task Milestones
Clients and service providers can agree on milestones for larger
projects, with payments released as each milestone is completed.
