Freelancing Tycoon

#1 (permalink)

I have used Freelancer to find freelancers and I was very pleased.

But I do find the whole process very slow.

The user interface is clunky

Signing in is a pain.

Posting a job takes ages, and it often does not get accepted, but they don't tell you what you have done wrong, usually something simple.

So I have found a much easier site to use for small jobs.

I suggested them to have a script as in pinterest
That can work in the following way

#3 (permalink)

We will go to our website, or to a project already posted, like that, or to something over internet. The script identifies, the keywords related to that, and then, the script suggests the project title, description + a few top freelancers to invite..

I hope this suggestion to be accepted

I think it would be a good idea if freelancer.com would offer a light version of the site for registered users.

Post a Project page for instance loads
- 25 javascript files,
- 13 css files,
- 20 image files.
So opening the post project page, your browser makes 59 HTTP requests. But that is not all. There are large portions of css code inside style tags in the HTML source, and even yet there are elements with style property defined inline! Also there are 25 javascript functions in script tags in the HTML source.

And mind you, Post a Project is not the worst page on freelancer.com. The Financial Dashboard page routinely crashes Google Chrome half the times in my experience -- and Google Chrome is a very robust and high tolerance browser which is very hard to crash.

This, for a company which connects thousands of web application developer to clients is not leading by example to say the least.
