Have you ever hired a designer or programmer from Upwork?
 

Curious how it went if you have.
I dont even know if they allow adult posts on there.

i used freelancer recnetly for two projects, it's a bit of work to find someone but they did what I asked them to do at a cheap price

yes but you can just post on GFY

Posting on GFY gets decent results.

:2 cents:

I never have. I've always hired off gfy or from Word of Mouth.

I have worked as a Project Manager for 10 years and often use Freelancer to outsource work. Due to this I have an extensive list of quality devs that I work with. Pretty much have a go-to person for every possible reason (server admin, development, SQL, etc).

Just can't beat the prices and if you find the right people the quality is excellent.

I have a few times. One bad experience only. I didn’t post wanting adult design, I just said design for adults. If they bid, I messaged and asked if adult was okay. If their photo looks like they’re under 18, I pass.

I’ve used others with the same results. Mostly good but usually one bad egg in the box.

It’s good for cheap, unimaginative designs. Banners, logos sometimes, but for full design professionally, ask here. Write that you want cheap prices. Offer a link on your footer if a site.

I recently asked for a logo of just two words. $10 was the average price. But one dude wanted $200! Fifteen minutes of work for $200 with an average portfolio. Fortunately, someone offered to do it for no cost. Not sure he’s a designer but I’m not looking for flashy, busy or drawn logo. Text, an image found online. Simple and colorful and I’m happy.

Pay in escrow, not in front. Release when you approve it fully.

well share the wealth sincats. Give us the contacts so we can throw them some work.

I did, a while back, had a good experience, for way cheaper price.
