How does the time tracker work?

The freelancer uses a desktop app recording active time and taking random screenshots every 10 minutes as activity proof. Clients review time logs and screenshots before approving billed hours on hourly contracts.

How are disputes resolved?

Either party raises a dispute and submits evidence. A platform mediator reviews contract terms, milestones, and work submitted, then issues a binding decision on fund release.

How are freelancer skills verified?

Freelancers take platform-hosted skill tests. Scores appear as badges on their profile. Clients can request work samples or a paid test project before committing to a full contract.

FAQ

Common questions about building a Freelancer Platform

When a contract is signed, the client deposits the milestone amount into escrow held by the platform. After the client approves work, funds release to the freelancer minus the platform commission. Disputes keep funds in escrow until mediated.
