Summer update on "Freelance"

Hello! As you know, in January, "Freelance" switched to a paid subscription. Announcing the changes , we promised to expand opportunities for users. It is said - done: the first “expansion” was the new service - “Services”.



Previously, freelancers could only search for orders among those placed, which not everyone liked. In a frank conversation, there was even a complaint saying that “ the site is good for everyone, but according to my specialization just a couple of orders a month, you don’t go too far ”. We thought and decided to make the interaction bilateral - so that customers could find freelancers not only in the catalog, but also on specific proposals.

As a result, the site has a new section in which the services offered by freelancers are published. As in the sections “Orders” and “Freelancers”, they are divided into categories of rubricator.

The principle of operation of services is very similar to orders: responses isolated from prying eyes, the possibility of sorting them (already a freelance performer, not the customer) into sections (marked, archive), the possibility of raising and highlighting.



From the differences: after all the work has been completed, the customer will be able to write a public review of the service, which will be located in the "Customers" section of the service page. This indicator will appear in the general list of services.





The new section is designed for passive search for orders. But it is especially suitable for those who prefer to perform only standard orders: for example, write only parsers for sites or typesetting templates only under WordPress.

Each freelancer with an active subscription can accommodate 3 services for free, each additional will cost 1 Fantik (100 rubles). As in the case of orders, the service can be highlighted in color or raised in the list of services. Any user registered on the site can respond to the service, and it will remain on the site as long as the subscription is valid.

What else:

»Reworked the left menu

Until recently, the menu had an item with the user's avatar, which led to the profile page. We decided to repeat the structure of Habr: by clicking on the avatar (your), everything that relates to you — your orders, your responses and your services — is displayed. The remaining button (we call it “burger button”) leads to sections of the site.

It was:



It became:



Try it, navigation has become even easier!

»Automatically expand the text field when writing a response

Now when you enter a large text in the form of a response, its size will automatically increase as you type.

»Worked informative pages error

Now, instead of server errors, you will see information about what exactly happened to the order - whether it was deleted by the customer, executed or fell victim to the moderator.

»Updated help section

Now we are starting to introduce a new useful service, which will also be included in the subscription and will be useful to each user of the site in each order.

About errors found, write in the comments, but better in a personal or feedback form .

Successful orders!
