   Get a Freelancer is the worst. im a good artist fast dependable and such. i have been bidding on this site for over 5 years now and have only ever won 2 jobs EVER. i price my work fairly and for this site often underbid to attempt to at least secure the work.

   All work goes to indian designers working for 3$ an hr and most work is horribly underpriced and some of the names on there bid on everything and anything for 20$. i paid for my subscription once for 12$ to bi on ‘better’ jobs but to no avail.

   do not use this site. BUY AMERICAN. most of the providers can even speak english well by their type. AND THEY STILL WIN THE BID. the portfolios are horrible and unnavigable in any way. alot of clients DEMAND free mockups to ‘decide’ whos best when our portfolio should decide whos best .. ya know?

   i started a forum on NO FREE MOCKUPS and how were underbid and such by outsourced labor. This received great praise from the community and they shared alot of my views. This entire post was deleted and i was threatened to be suspended from the site. I was also contact by other users that this is a regular thing for this site and others have tried to voice thier opinions on the sites workings.

   DONT USE GAF. ITS A LAF. (laugh.)

    @Joe –
    We recently launched a network of 119 geo-based websites where US based freelancers can bid per-project and not have to compete on reverse bidding sites with overseas talent and help them promote themselves on the Internet.

    @Larissa - great research for this post and a beautiful looking blog as well! I’m been poking around your writing and will definitely have to subscribe. Web Design-isms is a very descriptive and articulate article and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I personally like both ornaments and word-isms. Noticed you are a fan of UXMAG too?! :) I look forward to reading more of your intelligent musings in the future. Glad I found you. :)

    Soon,

    Hey Larissa great post

    @Joe - as being a freelancer I know and feel your pain but outsourcing is something that we all face. But at the same time those projects that get outsourced are they even really worth you time since they are most likely low budget, I mean you cant get fast and cheap doesn’t exist, and good and fast isnt going to be cheap.

    I have seen other post about designers griping about their experiences with sites, the worst was a guy who post not to hire but just to see who is in the talent pool. Good idea … eh
