Bfinda is the revolutionary freelance platform, built by coders, for coders. We understand how time consuming it is to cover the projects on other freelance sites. At Bfinda, we work hard to ensure a streamlined and shortened process. You may join the site as a coder, create your profile, and bid on projects with a regular account at no charge. You may also opt to purchase an Elite Coder account. There are many benefits to this type of account, and we will cover them later in this page. Regardless whether you have a regular account or an Elite Coder account, you may bid on as many projects as you wish. We NEVER charge a fee or a connection charge.

You will find the following features here in addition to our typical industry standard services:

Escrow: Full and mandatory escrow services are integral to your transactional security. Buyers are required to escrow your benchmark fees prior to you beginning your work. You can always be assured you will be paid for your time.

Instant Money Transfer: We give zero delay in transferring payment from your account directly to your bank account. For US Coders, we support Check, ACH and Bank Wire Transfer. For International Coders, we support Check and International Bank Wire Transfer. You may withdraw as many times as you wish per month.

Portfolio: You have the ability to build a massive portfolio here complete with a link back to your public profile. This link may be used to market your services across the web. Any user can submit a request for bid directly to you via your portfolio.

Mediation: At any time, if you feel your project has reached a stand still or you encounter what you feel is a dispute you are having trouble resolving, we offer free Mediation Support. Simply send a message via the Contact Us link in the upper right portion of the header. Include a link to the project and the other users name. We will open an impartial line of communication between you and your buyer and will do everything in our power to assist both parties in finding a common ground. This includes Feedback Mediation.

PMB: Our Private Message Board comes complete with both email notifications as well as optional SMS notifications. We give you the ability to instantly respond to Buyer requests for additional information.

Free SMS Notifications: We give you the ability to select what types of messages you will receive via SMS. There are many available such as New Project Alert, Outbid Alert, Bid Accepted Alert, Bid Rejected Alert, PMB Response Alert, Escrowed Funds Alert, Released Funds Alert, Withdraw Request Alert, Withdraw Processed Alert, and more.

RSS Feeds: We give you the ability to be instantly notified of new projects by category via our RSS Feeds. Simply copy and paste the applicable link from the RSS page into your favorite feed reader and you are good to go! Every time a new job hits the site, you will be instantly notified via your feed reader.

Dual Use Account: If you find yourself in a position in which you have more work than you can handle, you can also use your Bfinda Coder account to post and award projects. Each account is a dual use account, allowing you to both post and bid. This is incredibly useful when you find yourself in a position in which you have a client who is requesting services you typically do not provide in conjunction with normal services. For example if you are an AJAX/PHP expert with excellent web designers on staff. However you do not have an animator. A very small part of your existing project involves a small bit of cartoon animation. This will give you the ability to farm that piece out while focusing on what it is that you do best... PHP/AJAX Programming.

Elite Coders: Our Elite Coder service expands the functionality and exposure you receive on the site. The first benefit of an Elite Coder account is the regular project fee of 10% is reduced to 8.75%. After you have accomplished more than $6,000. USD in delivered project value, this fee is further reduced to 6.75%. Elite coders have the option of submitting a banner advertisement. This banner will be displayed prominently in rotation on the Browse Projects page. If a Buyer clicks your banner, they will be taken directly to your profile page where they can choose to post a project directly to you. Additionally, Elite Coders bids always appear at the top of the bid portion of the page. Regular coder accounts bids appear below the Elite Coders submitted bids.

What is coming: SVN for all coders, Multi-language support (Spanish, French, Russian, German), and an exciting partnership with a leading freelance site from Spain!
