Esialance is a service that connects providers with buyers that need custom programming done for their websites

What Company Is Offering:
Esialance is a service that connects providers with buyers that need custom programming done for their websites.Much like an auction, buyer projects are posted and interested providers bid on them.
Whether you are a webmaster seeking to avail the service of a freelancer or whether you are a freelance programmer in search of a competitive webmaster project or a permanent job

How it Works:

Service Buyer's can register and post projects in specific categories at no cost whatsoever. Freelancer's will then bid on the project. Once the Service Buyer finds the right Freelancer with the appropriate skill set for their project, and the Service Buyer and Freelancer agree upon a price, the Service Buyer then chooses winning bidder and exchanges contact information with the Freelancer via email in order to begin the project.Once a new Freelancer signs up, they can begin browsing projects in various categories and place bids on projects which are of interest to them.
