Basic Project Information

Title of project

It's best to list a simple, straight forward title, since Service Providers will see the title of the project before they see any other information. Titles such as "Project Manager" and "Photographer" grab the Service Provider's attention and tell them exactly what the project involves. Titles such as "fix my house" may cause them to pass over the project, believing it has nothing to do with their skill set.

Describe project needs (in detail)

This is the most important part of your project posting. Here is where you will describe everything about your project. A precise description will give the Service Provider a better view of your needs and enable them to produce a quality bid for your project that includes a cost and time estimate. Project descriptions should include what work is needed, when the project must be started and finished, and the size of the project.

Choose the best matching category & sub-categories to post your project in

It is important to choose the right categories to post your projects in. This way Certified Providers can be notified of projects in their area of expertise and increase the number of professionals bidding on your projects. It also makes it easier for interested Providers to filter through projects, and find yours.

Upload files relevant to project

If you have any attachments you feel will help the Service Provider understand your project and enable them to generate a more detailed bid, upload the files on the project posting form. For example, if you are seeking a certain type of pool in your backyard, use the feature to upload a photograph of the design of a pool that you have seen. The maximum file size allowed is 10MB.

Estimated project budget

Enter your estimated budget for the project. In the "Select project budget" area, select the budget range that best corresponds to the total amount you are willing to pay for this project.
