"While studying in college, I faced the problem of finding orders for freelance development. In search of a solution to the problem, I came up with the concept of a closed freelance exchange. It was supposed to be a kind of private club for freelancers, where they could communicate with each other and find orders. Having completed the order, the freelancer could receive money only when the order is completed in full. I decided that this approach would be much more effective than just placing orders on freelancers' websites. Why? Because if a professional freelancer responds to an order, then the student will hardly be able to prove himself"

Develop the functionality of a closed freelance exchange and adapt it for use in an educational institution. The project is being implemented as part of the program to increase competitiveness and increase the export of education.
As part of the project, a portal with a closed platform for customers and performers will be created.
Each participant of the project will have access to a system through which he will be able to find both regular customers and employers for internship and employment.
"It is important for us not just to create a website, but to make it a convenient tool for all participants in the educational process.

Initially, we didn't have any reference points - everything that needed to be done had to be done from scratch.
It was a complex project, in which we took into account everything: the site should be beautiful, but at the same time convenient and functional, as well as as understandable to the user as possible.
With a clear scope of the competitive landscape, we developed a design system that was visually calming and easy to use though the following practices:
01
Minimal, purposeful use of color
02
Typographic hierarchy and contrast make important information stand out
03
Similar component layouts that repeat throughout the dashboards
Nunito Sans was chosen for its classic, neutral, Helvetica-like qualities and it's legibility at small scales.
The final design aims to reduce the friction typically experienced when working within multiple platforms to complete different tasks. By consolidating these tasks into one unified platform collaboration is easier, workflows are more efficient, and projects are more organized.
