Bidlancer

Bidlancer is a backend service for a freelancing platform that connects project owners with freelancers through a transparent and competitive bidding system.

What Is Bidlancer?

Bidlancer is a web application that provides a platform for freelancers and project owners to collaborate efficiently and transparently.

How It Works

1. Project Creation – A project owner creates a new post describing their project.
2. Project Discovery – Freelancers use our advanced search feature to find projects that match their skills and interests.
3. Bidding – Freelancers place bids on projects they want to work on.
4. Selection – The project owner reviews the bids and selects a freelancer (or team) to collaborate with.

Key Features

• Transparency First
  All authenticated users can view bid amounts and bidder profiles.
  Both freelancers and project owners have access to detailed project histories, reviews, and comments.

• Team Collaboration
  Freelancers can form teams to work together on larger projects.
  Our system ensures full clarity about who is part of a bidding team and who is responsible for what.

• Competitive Bidding System
  Real-time updates and open visibility into bids foster a fair and dynamic marketplace.
