    Currently, FreelanceContests.com has collective freelance contest & job related postings. In future, I intend to provide an option to allow the visitors to post/participate in new contests as well.

    More than the reviews related to the design of the site, the reason I'm posting here is to solicit ideas from you all as to what other features and information would you like to see on FreelanceContests.com

    Appreciate your feedback and thanks for your time.

    Warm Regards,

    I only looked at freelancecontests.com and at first impression is seemed way to simplistic. I like the click-the-title-to see a description feature. I was a letdown to see that you are just listing stuff from the other freelance sites... good luck.

    Hello exam, thanks for the fast review. Being a part-time freelancer myself, I've thought it'd be kind of useful if I could have one single place to track atleast few contests that I'd be interested in and FreelanceContests.com is a result of that thought. I'm sorry that you haven't found what you expected at the site.

    As I earlier said, at this moment mostly due to resource constraints, I'm limiting the site to its current functionality. But very soon I'd like to turn it into a more useful resource and would like to get some suggestions in that regard as well.

    Thanks once again.
    Warm Regards,
    Kavs

    Please check http://www.FreelanceContests.com now.
    I've made some code changes and I'd expect it to be much faster now.

    Appreciate your feedback.

    Style the site with CSS, give it some color, and a 2-3 column layout. So far it does not look inviting at all.

    Hi DevBistro,

    As a result of a misconfigured rewrite rule, the css was not being applied. I corrected it now. Thank you.
