Upwork Launches Project Catalog™, A New Way for Businesses and Independent Talent to Instantly Work Together
New Upwork product experience connects businesses and talent on fixed-price, pre-scoped projects
Project Catalog allows businesses to quickly find what they are looking for—from website development and graphic design to videos and digital marketing—and pay a fixed price to have it done by some of the marketplace’s best independent talent. Essential project information such as scope, cost, timing and deliverables are pre-packaged by Upwork talent so that businesses know exactly what to anticipate. They can also browse Project Catalog to discover and find inspiration in the wide range of work done by the expert independent talent on Upwork.
For talent, Project Catalog is an important new way to earn on Upwork so that they can grow their businesses faster. Independent talent will be able to turn their most in-demand services into powerful new income streams by showcasing the quality of their work and making pre-scoped projects immediately available for purchase.
“We are continually evolving our services to meet our customers’ growing needs, and what they’ve told us is they want additional pathways to buy and sell on Upwork. We are launching Project Catalog to give both clients and talent added control and flexibility to scale their businesses up and down depending on their changing needs,” said
“The world of freelancing is growing, and so are the ways people engage with it,” said
“As a graphic designer, Project Catalog has given me the opportunity to easily build a portfolio for clients to browse and showcase the specific design services I offer,” said
“I think it's wonderful because the client will know exactly what to expect,” shared Marilina Jiménez, a graphic design expert who has been freelancing with Upwork since 2012.
“I like Project Catalog because it saves me time. Clients found me, saw my project, and knew what to expect. It’s like building a portfolio for clients to browse,” said
