You are about to write to someone you have not worked with before. Here is exactly what this page does, and what it does not.
You deal with the freelancer, not us. Each card carries the contact details they chose to publish, and the brief, the price and the delivery are settled between the two of you; we are not a party, as the note under the listings says. Write to the freelancer whose card fits — the contact is theirs, and their answer comes straight back to you.
Nobody pays us to be listed here. There is no fee to the freelancer and no fee to you for using this page — we charge neither side for the introduction.
We rank nobody. Nothing here is graded: no score, no ranking, no "best" order. A listing is not a recommendation from us.
We verify nothing. A card is that person's own words. Where a line is the freelancer's own declaration (that they work alone, that they are an OCA member), we label it (as declared): we publish it as written, we do not check it.
An invitation is one click to refuse. When a freelancer is suggested to us, we invite them once, we say who suggested them, and we give them a single click to opt out.
