Tweet

I am in the rough process of developing a community site for freelance media professionals: Freelance web designers Freelance graphic designers Freelance writers Freelance bloggers etc... Site is: www.leniche.com I am just looking for some feedback: 1. Why would you join leniche? a. Free personal portfolio website b. Find freelance jobs c. Network with freelancers d. I wouldn't e. a, b and c 2. Was it easy to navigate? Confusing? Was the draw to create your own personal portfolio obvious, or did you not even know you could join and have a profile page? 3. Were the forum topics relevant, or not very good... 4. Design pretty? 5. Would you want to join a site like this? 6. Open to all other comments and suggestions!! Thank you so much in advance, I really appreciate it! Again, site is www.leniche.com
