Find a creator & request a quote
Browse people or start from their work. Save a shortlist, send a useful brief and agree on the quote before starting.
01
Browse people or portfolio work
Open Developers and choose People for profiles or Work for approved portfolio projects. Search and filter by the skills and working style your project needs.
In Work, open a project to review its media and contribution credits. Request similar work carries that portfolio reference into your quote request. It is a starting reference, so explain how your own brief differs.
In People, compare portfolios, availability, pricing and relevant experience. Directories show result totals and up to 12 profiles per page. Use the available sort options or reset filters to widen the search.
Profile verification, self-reported experience, portfolio evidence, skill checks and completed-project reviews are different signals. Consider the work and the terms together.
02
Save, follow and connect
Choose Save profile · Follow to keep a member in My Work → Saved profiles and follow them. Each person counts once. Saved · Unfollow removes the saved profile and follow.
Connect sends a mutual connection request. Open Connections from your profile or My Work to manage received requests, sent requests and existing connections.
Following is one-way; a connection needs both people to agree. Neither is required to request a quote.
03
Send a useful, guided brief
Choose Request a quote on a creator’s card or profile. Check the selected recipient, then enter the project title, desired deliverables, references and an optional budget with currency.
Use the discipline-specific prompts to explain formats, performance limits, intended use and timing. A clear brief helps the creator estimate the work; it does not commit either of you to a price.
Choose Send request. Find it under My Work → Commissions. The request is private to the people involved and platform administrators supporting the workflow.
04
Review and accept the quote
The creator can use Prepare a quote and Send quote to record price, currency, deadline, included revisions, scope, deliverables, payment terms, usage rights and cancellation terms.
Review every part. Use Request changes to quote for clarification. When the terms are correct, confirm that you reviewed them and choose Accept quote and start project.
The accepted quote is the project’s recorded agreement. Later changes need an explicit proposal accepted by both participants. Accepting a quote does not transfer money.
05
Keep the project connected
Use Discuss a project for messages and Post update for the project record. Check Needs your attention and Work updates when someone responds.
Follow Manage your commission for delivery versions, attachments, feedback and completion. Completed project history also offers Hire again to start a fresh request with the same creator.
Payment schedules and refunds are arranged directly with your collaborator.
