Outsourcing: Can I have anyone give feedback on our site, FreeeUp.com?

Lee von Kraus, Unique Insights, Creative Solutions answered:

Your site is definitely providing a service that's needed. Here are some comments from a quick review:

Page: Main page (http://freeeup.com/)
1) Change the negative and drawn-out "Never take a step backwards" to a positive "We fill in the gaps"
2) Use "Try out one of" Instead of "Train with one of" ("Train with" is confusing)
3) In the "Strong Communication" bullet point, list the variety of well known communication tools that your workers will generally know how to use (e.g. Trello, etc). Seeing trusted brand names on your website will increase trust and reassure potential clients that you know about the tools they'd want to use.
4) Add a prominent plot of how many hours the average client saves in the hiring process when they use your service (To easily get this value, you could just use the amount of vetting time you guys invest per person, or get the value from client questionnaires). If you can get a decent estimate of $ saved per hire too that would be powerful.

Add a photo for each review if possible in the "listen to what others are saying" section (or add a generic silhouette outline for people you don't have photos of. Otherwise it takes a second to mentally check that the lower reviews don't also belong to the top people.

Page: http://freeeup.com/skills/
You don't have "developer" in the skills you list. Is that too volatile and hard-to-vet of a skill for this early stage? It's one that would be in highest demand, at least for early stage startups.

If you'd like to discuss any other aspects of how to best get things rolling let me know. I actually work with a lot of people that outsource to freelancers all the time,

best,

Lee
