People Per Hour
« on: August 04, 2011, 09:58:28 pm »
Anyone used this site before? www.peopleperhour.com

I've just had my website designed by a freelancer I found on there, and am quite pleased with the results.
www.floors2show.co.uk

Time will tell how it will fair with SEO but I'm quite happy with the layout of the site and the general feel (although I'm sure someone will come along shortly and tear it to pieces..)

You put a job on the pph site, as well as a budget/timescale, then people bid to do the work for you, offering prices as well as a portfolio of their previous work. Seems like a good way to do business as everything is held in escrow til your happy with the results.

If anyone is stuck for this type of work I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it (and no, I'm not on any commission!)

How much you pay Ash? Looks like a templete.

£230, I don't think it's a template as he kept me updated all through the design process and it changed quite dramatically during that time, although I might be wrong. And he's hosting it for a year at no extra cost.

Thats pretty steep for a free, commenly used wordpress templete mate :( sorry.

Looks ok though, maybe add a few testimonials, before and after pics, garantees, more content etc

Just something stating that you'll give 100% money back if they are not happy with the work.
