We have a website to promote so I want to take this time out to step outside of our hosting role and announce that Katz Global Media just completed the purchase of www.gigalance.com.
Since we have received the site we have changed a few things around including the look of the headers and logo and also the way people are charged when using the site. For those who do not know, www.gigalance.com is a place where business owners and/or project leaders post their available programming projects, web design projects, marketing or internet publicity projects and receive auction style bids by programmers, designers and marketers all over the world. Basically the site is a resource for businesses and programmers to meet and save you the trouble searching all over the net and waiting for emails to go through with little or no results. We are changing the focus of the site to attract offshore clientele and digital currency related projects and move the focus away from the more general type of *lance sites like elance.com We feel this will bring a more refined focus to the site and attract lower priced developers to bid on projects which many other sites lack. Pricing: The site used to charge a percentage of every project accepted. We have done away with the old pricing model and have implemented the following: Business owners: Now may register, use and post projects on the site for free. There will never be a charge for adding your project and accepting bids from programmers or designers. We encourage you to post any projects you have pending or planned as this is now a free resource that will find you many programmers to choose from, usually within 15 minutes or less from the time of your post. Programmers/Web Designers: There is an annual membership fee of $40 for a regular membership. We are no longer charging you commissions on accepted projects. For an additional $60 per year, you may also upgrade your membership to a showcase membership which now will allow you a full web page to be hosted on our server and linked from every gigalance page. You may post all your company info, portfolio and links to your site, as well as direct contact info and payment information. Overall we feel that the new pricing structure will encourage more projects to be posted and attract programmers who are serious about acquiring new clients and contacts. We also feel this will save active programmers a lot of money as you will no longer have to pay a fee on each project accepted. We have also added many more payment options. Right now there are about 10 methods of paying for a membership. Since the site has a built in exchange system you may also use this to receive payments from your clients and we can assist in many cases to transfer funds from one currency to another. Right now there are over 300 businesses and about 300 programmers/designers registered on the site and all of these have been grandfathered into the membership on a permanent basis. If you already have a current registration with the site as a programmer, you will not have to purchase a membership. We have done this to reward all those that have made the site a success up to date and we encourage you to keep using the site and bid on projects as will not cost you anything to do. We will be spending some $$$ in promoting the site over the next 6 months. If you have any opportunities in this regard please contact us anytime. The main thing we need to do to get the site going is have more projects listed. There are no shortage of available programmers on the site, but right now the site has a lack of projects. So please post away. It is FREE!
