As weve talked about before on Nettuts+, sometimes it feels impossible to keep up with all the skills, languages and tools you need to learn to be a great web developer.In an ideal world wed be masters of back-end, front-end and graphic design, but being truly great at any one of those three things is, on its own, a full-time challenge.For web developers, the skill we often decide well never be able to master is design.And yet, we struggle on with websites and apps we know look less than great because we dont have the time to get truly good at design, or we lack the time, energy and money to collaborate with a talented designer.Envato (the people behind Nettuts+) have recently launched a new service, currently in beta, that aims to solve this problem: Microlancer.
Microlancer makes it easy for web developers to access design services that are:Rather than committing to a big project upfront, services are broken down into smaller pieces and priced individually. For example, rebranding your web development business might involve the following services:These are actual services and prices currently on Microlancer, and with these, a complete rebranding with logo design, website, business cards and Twitter graphics would cost $805.
Though Microlancer is a great place to get work done for your own business, its also an excellent place to outsource any design work that clients need done. Prices are fixed, so its easy to calculate your profit margin on any given job.On Microlancer, services are sold in a shop-like format, where they can be browsed and purchased individually. Though the vast majority of jobs proceed without a hitch, any issues that occasionally do arise can be resolved with Microlancers robust and fair dispute resolution process. Trained members of the team are on-hand to ensure that all users who play by the rules have a great Microlancer experience.Heres a quick preview of the kinds of things you can get done on Microlancer:
On Microlancer, users who provide services for buyers are called — you guessed it — service providers. Microlancer in its beta form currently offers graphic design services exclusively. If you have some design chops as well as code clout, you may be eligible to sell design services on Microlancer and unlock a new source of income.Learn more about becoming a service provider on Microlancer.
