• Build frontend on Softr, including:
• Landing page
• Consultant onboarding form
• Client onboarding and project posting
• Consultant and client dashboards

• Integrate Stripe (Connect + Escrow logic)
• Automate workflows (form submissions, emails, feedback capture) via Make.com

• Available to start immediately and commit for 4–6 weeks


Since you’re zero on tech (and you’re owning the vision, not the build), here are the key skills you should include in the freelancer post to ensure you get someone who can take full ownership of the no-code MVP and handhold you:

Essential Skills to List on Freelancer Platforms:

Skill Why It’s Important
Softr (no-code app builder) Your main frontend tool — they’ll design the UI, logic, and pages
Airtable This is your database — they need to structure tables, relations, filters
Make.com (or Zapier) For automation between Airtable, Softr, Stripe, email, etc.
Stripe Connect For escrow setup, split payments, payouts to consultants
Webhooks & API basics Needed to connect Stripe or custom email logic if needed
UX/UI Design Even in no-code, you need someone with design sense (clean layout, mobile-ready)
Workflow Automation So they can build smooth flows: form > database > email > Stripe
Basic legal/terms handling Add T&Cs, disclaimer popups, footer links
Project documentation So they hand over everything clearly to you post build



⸻

Optional (Nice-to-Have):
• Experience in consulting marketplaces or B2B hiring platforms
• Familiarity with SaaS platform flows (onboarding, payments, dashboards)
