There is a good reason this site sucks, because people you get what you pay for. Freelancer.com pays poverty prices. People want to pay you $30 for a logo, or $2-8 dollars an hour.

Well guess what, educated and qualified designers won't work for that, so you are going to get poor jobs, done unprofessionally. You are going to get a company that charges and withholds money etc. Or people who don't finish a job.

Hire a local designer or web dev and pay for it. Don't use this site. The Walmart of Design.

I've been to a presentation one of the CEOs did and it was a joke and he was quite dismissive when I presented the poverty wages as a problem.

Hello Melissa. We want you to know that we are online platform where employers and freelancers meet. Employers who post projects provides the budget and it is up to the negotiation between both users if it will be changed or not. That being said, an effective communication is one of the keys to a successful project. Employers are given the chance to choose their freelancers among the bidders. Before they do so, they were given enough time to communicate with them, to know them better and to discuss their strategy/plans regarding the task. If you have other concerns related to the site, please email me at savannahg@freelancer.com so we can discuss it amicably. Thank you and we hope to hear from you soon.
