CollabFinder is a newly launched Web site where designers and developers can collaborate and find each other about the various Web projects. At first glance, it seems like any other job site such as Elance, or etc. that you can source the right designer or developer to bid for your project, but this site demonstrate the knack of CollabFinder on how it can spot white space and even makes the space more attractive and productive for the designers and developers.
If you worked as a designer or developer, you can sign-up and provide some of your Web project related information such as skills, any completed project or software to this CollabFinder. After you signing up to the site, you’ll be given a personal dashboard, and your basic information will be shown in a simple profile card. To encourage registered users in providing details about their projects, a special ranking system came under consideration and implemented in CollabFinder. In other words, you’ll get promoted on CollabFinder’s internal ranking system as your Web projects gain popularity amongst others based on the project links, rating and recognition across the Web.
CollabFinder is a site that allowed designers and developers to find the collaborators. On the site, you can browse the top designers or developers, as well as send messages to others, provided the other parties did not marked themselves as “busy,” and opened for discussions. In addition, you also can follow other designers or developers, so that you will be notified if they’ve updated any new project to the site. Meanwhile, there is a message board if you have any comment would like to voice out to the community.
CollabFinder, in overall I find it is founded for a good cause, so that designers and developers can collaborate and then build something awesome for the mass.
