August 16, 2007; 09:25 AM
Today's internet is filled with freelancer sites such as RentACoder, Scriptlance, E-Lance and all the other big names. But a question remains - Do we really need another freelancing service? It seems so, as most of the established marketplaces seem to deliver less service for higher fees. Having a quick look at YourCoders reveals a brand-new and feature-rich freelancer service where service buyers and service providers are quickly connected. And what matters most, is the very transparent fee structure YourCoders employs.

Unlike many other freelance marketplaces, YourCoders does not charge any monthly membership fees or percentual fees based on the project cost. The only fees involved are project posting fees, job listing fees and featured project fees which make the whole fee structure very transparent. Service providers (Freelancers) do not pay any fees to use the YourCoders marketplace, which basically means more income and less fee calculation stress for freelancers.

Bernd Hilders, Project Manager, said: "Most freelance marketplaces have one thing in mind: making money (and lots of it). It's a very common practice to charge both buyers and providers. We have even seen freelance marketplaces charging up to 15% of the total project cost. YourCoders does not employ such fee structures, as we want to keep everything as simple as possible. Hidden and abnormal fees are nonexistent and that's the way it's meant to be."

YourCoders covers many service categories such as software programming, web development, graphic design, Flash and over 20 other categories. The service offers project, but also job listing features which are both a great value for companies who want to take matters into their own hands. Besides all that, it can be a real money saver to outsource projects to freelancers, as there are many benefits in doing so. Outsourcing projects can save a company more than 50% expenses compared to in-house development, which is one of the main reasons why companies outsource at all.

Conclusion: Companies looking for a feature-rich and affordable option to outsource their projects should definitely check out the services YourCoders has to offer. While there are many similar services on the web, YourCoders surely deserves attention, as many features like hiding bids from other bidders, inexpensive project and job listings and a very transparent fee structure are a big plus in today's internet world.

About YourCoders
YourCoders connects service buyers with service providers (freelancers) by employing a reverse auction style freelance marketplace. YourCoders acts as a "middle-man" between bid requester and bidder. YourCoders' mission is providing an inexpensive, feature rich and friendly marketplace environment to both buyers and sellers.

About Freelancing
Freelancers sell or contract their work to a client rather than being employed by a business. Most commonly a freelancer works in the fields of writing, photography, web design, graphic arts, or computer programming. There are many advantages to using freelancers because a company is not obligated to provide steady work, as it would be for a full time employee.
