The site looks fine, but how do you plan on differentiating this to already existing marketplaces like Upwork with a larger pool of resources? I also don't see much as far as examples of creatives beyond the website template wordpress pages. Honestly this just feels like over simplifying something that most of us have to vet out quite a few folks for before bringing them on for projects.

@thejournalizer Hi Elliot, thanks for the feedback. On marketplaces like Upwork you need to select the freelancers by yourself. Many business owners don't know how to select the right expert and find the process to complicated. We want to offer a simpler solution by pre-selecting the marketers. It's not for everyone, but it's a different concept than a free marketplace where pretty much everybody can offer their services. We want to give our users more the feeling of shopping the services as in every other online store. I hope that clarifies.

@paulpreisler Got it, that makes sense. My only concern there would be how would you build enough trust with clients like myself that we can trust your judgement on selecting the best resource for the job? Right now the flow doesn't really give me any of that trust/confidence.

@thejournalizer I guess it's the challenge every startup is facing ;) We are willing to earn the trust over time. But we also give a satisfaction guarantee.

@paulpreisler I get that, but if you are going to use a cart system and expect people to utilize it, you need trust from the buyer first. That's what I'm saying when I feel like it's a bit over simplified.

Good job @paulpreisler! I stumbled upon GrowModo the other day, and was thinking this model could and should work, as it's really hard to find the right freelancers on other platforms
