If this was to work, the users should have the ability to add their availability.
Example:
MrHansFeler
- Off site (global)
- Years of experience
- Available nights and weekend
- Limited availability for meetings and calls during the day
- Skill sets x years (from selection list)- and filter them by thisJSK
- i like this. very good sifting filterregiste
- Experience is already summed up in Bio and Client info. Availability isn't specifically useful if people are approaching you for problem solving.
MrAbominable - it's useful in a busy freelance schedule, text field would get cut off in this list fashionregiste
- always assume that users are dumb and add unnecessary info which most may not care forJSK
- I really like this sort of idea.Continuity

sample content is all that displays, no real accounts showing. uploaded a single image, uploaded multiple images, no can view.
password field should be a hidden field, displaying the password as you type it is a might silly imo.
- Jacque0
Password should definitely be ••••••, not plaintext.
- JSK0
Forgot to add color dots to show availability
Green dot - available right now
Engagement length - 2 weeks to 6 weeks or longerYellow dot - will be available in 3 weeks
Engagement length - depending on project and scheduleRed dot - not available until Oct 2011
Engagement length - 2 - 4 weeks.

cool site idea, simple effective
because it's public, you might let users hide or change their display email- <
Or at least make it difficult for spambots to harvest it.Continuity - that's a good idea, i'll add that soonSteveJobs

Blue dot - available depend on project
---------------
Also ability to filter by availability
- Continuity0
Uploaded an image, hit the Update Account button, still nothin', bro. :\
- registe0
images uploaded through firefox and chrome, no can see.
need to be able to change password and email < very important

Cool, just uploaded stuff and it works.
Just a couple of other issues I've noticed:
- The div in which the bio sits cuts off the content , half-way down what's probably the second-last line;
- Clicking the website link in a user's profile doesn't work. Rather than launching the site, it does this: http://www.graphikindex.com/<… web address>
Other than that, stellar work, mate.

awesome idea :-)

If none of these filtering or sorting functions are there, its nothing more than a Krop / b3hance portfolio host. On top of the stuff mentioned above.
Filter by industry
Filter by location
Filter by rate range
Filter by skills
Filter by client / brand
Filter by years
etcAlso, hate to say it, it should be curated. The down side of a lot of these sites are that, there are a lot of junk portfolio.
And fact check the portfolio uploader to confirm that they actually worked on the stuff they post. And exactly what they did.

In essence you are making a collective talent agency which has high caliber people on it.
Add contractual agreement policy and act as a manager, you are making money.
I want my $$$ for these ideas. Thanks. Email me with your paypay payment.
- SteveJobs0
you're right about it being curated. it's important that the first profiles you see when you hit the page are exemplary of the kind of work available. this also puts the onus on me to provide some kind of sorting functionality in their so you can put your best works in front of the rest.
And you're right about the filter. I had considered this earlier during concept, and might still add these into the search, but I'm just waiting to get as much feedback as possible. will probably also need to set up some kind of analytics to see what the end user thinks as well later on..
anyway, good feedback JSK.
- maybe build your proximity in there to show more localized profiles on page visitregiste
- JSK0
Filtering should always be hidden or as an advanced option with search. People sometimes search by name or etc.
Curation would be tough as you have to make sure you cut out people even if they are your friends.
You will become the most hated person in QBN !
Win win. There is a long term money making. There is no good high caliber creative talent site out there.
- SteveJobs0
Btw, right after relevance, profile creation date will dictate your position in search results. So if this site does get any traction, the early adopters will be served up before the bandwagoners.
- JSK0
^ different type of mode I would suspect. Most people would go there to browse talents. Understand what they want and narrow their selection.
While search could enhance the functional aspect of it, it doesnt give the users a chance to explore the talent or new talent.
BUT it took a while for me to understand the top UI. I completely missed it until I looked for it.

Nice. Clean. Beautiful.
How are clients drilling into the content? Is it just a generic search or will there be development into indexing?
- SteveJobs0
Good question, MrAbominable. The site supports full-text indexing - the stuff that drives powerhouses like ebay. It's not mickey mouse by any means. It can be tweaked later if needs be. I almost added proximity searching, but that would have pushed me well past my 24hr deadline.
- Thanks. I've registered. Will add pics later.MrAbominable

ok, i changed the password field to type password. i changed somethings dealing with session, so *hopefully* that will fix your uploading issue.
