What is iPhone Freelancer? iPhone Freelancer is a service that connects freelancers with employers that need custom programming, applications graphics and more done for the iPhone. Much like an auction, employers' projects are posted and interested freelancers bid on them. How do I create a Project and get my iPhone App made? Become a member of the site and post the details of your project online. Projects are FREE to post at this time. How can I communicate with an Employer/Freelancer during the bidding process? Messages can be posted on the "Project Message Board" located just above the "Bids" section on the Project view. Alternatively you can send a private message by clicking on a Employer or Freelancer's name, and then click "Private Message" in the upper-right hand corner. What happens when I win a project? Once your bid is accepted as a winner, the employer's contact information is released to you. From there, it is up to both of you to e-mail each other and handle the project. We will be supporting escrow and more features soon. How can I contact the owner of iPhone Freelancer? My name is WilliamKehl, please feel free to send me an e-mail at gmail.com, or use the contact form on the site. How much does it cost? It's absolutely FREE to browse and sign-up with iPhone Freelancer. It's also currently FREE to post development projects and job advertisements. Freelancers/Developers can post their quotations/bids at absolutely no cost. A small 6.5% commission fee will automatically be deducted from a Buyers account upon the successful acceptance of project bid. There is no cost to the Provider/Freelancer for using iPhone Freelancer. What is the process for accepting a bid? When a Buyer and Provide BOTH accept a project bid they will automatically be sent each others contact information. A Buyer can only accept a Providers bid if they have sufficient funds in their iPhone Freelancer account to pay the Provider at the quoted price (plus a small commission fee - see our Terms of Use for more details). Once the project is complete the Buyer pays the provider either by transferring funds from their iPhone Freelancer account to the Providers iPhone Freelancer account via the "Manage Account" page or, if they have set up an escrow payment, by approving it via the "Manage Account" page. The Buyer has complete control over the release of funds to the Provider and can choose to release partial funds to initiate the project and the remaining balance upon completion, or any other variation of payment agreed upon with the Provider. If the escrow service is utilized, iPhone Freelancer holds the escrowed funds and will release them once the Buyer approves payment. How do I deposit funds into my iPhone Freelancer account? Once logged in to your account, to deposite funds, select the "Manage Account" tab at the top of the page, and simply select the amount you wish to deposit. You will be required to have a PayPal account in order to send and receive funds/payments on this website. To open a PayPal account, please visit PayPal You can deposit or withdraw funds from your iPhone Freelancer account at any time. How can I be sure a developer will not just steal my idea? iPhone Freelancer recommends both parties sign a mutual non-disclosure agreement (NDA) prior to the commencement of any development work.
