The economy can suck it!
written by Allan Branch on June 23rd, 2009
The economy sucks, great web talent (designers, developers, copywriters, marketers, seo people) are getting laid off and freelancers are struggling for work. They've lost their position, clients and income not due to job outpout but due to the economy downturn.

Hey All,
I’m one of the founders of Mavenlink, a site built for exactly this purpose. We have recently launched and are actively getting projects into the system. We understand as well as anybody right now how bad the economy is and that freelancers (Mavens!) are struggling to find work.
I invite all the Less Everything blog readers to sign up and fill out a profile. We’re working on new features and improvements all the time, so your feedback is welcome!

PS Here’s a Less Everything blog scoop: Later this week, we’re going to be rolling out a new feature – The Proposal. No, we’re not going to be a wedding site. No, Sandra Bullock won’t be joining. You’ll be able to propose to your existing (and new) clients through Mavenlink to smooth out the process and use all the great collaboration tools we’ve built. Join up!

We build sites using great django web framework.
I consider myself a whiz when it comes to CSS and stylizing pages, not designing them but taking the design work and making it work. I can take any design and make it functional. I also am a mid-level PHP developer as well.
