Made It connects companies posting outsourced projects with development partners and freelancers who find and apply for work. For cross-border collaboration, a shared understanding of scope and communication matters as much as technical fit. Use this guide to prepare your first project.
Companies: define the result before asking for estimates
A brief describing users, essential features, supported devices and a launch goal is easier to assess than a request to build an app. Explain whether designs or code already exist and identify what needs to be created. Include a budget range and a preferred timeline so applicants can discuss feasibility.
Freelancers: connect relevant experience to the brief
Partner members review skills and work requirements before applying. Explain your role in each portfolio example and the result you delivered. Prepare your availability and questions about unclear requirements. Even familiar projects need a fresh discussion about scope, dependencies and delivery dates.
Move from profile review to working arrangements
Company members can review partner information and portfolios after signing in, subject to account and membership access. Confirm working language, availability and overlapping hours directly. A country or profile description does not establish language fluency or quality. Check current listings and partner availability when you use the service.
Agree on manageable deliverables
Define included work, exclusions, deliverables, acceptance criteria and a process for change requests. A web project might separate screen design, core development, testing and handover. Written checkpoints make different expectations easier to identify before the work grows.

Common questions
Can individual freelancers use Made It?
Yes. Partner membership includes freelancers. Companies post projects and partners review requirements before applying. Check your account and membership status for the features available to you.
Does every project use the same contract and payment process?
No. Made It's guide distinguishes same-country and cross-border work. Same-country parties handle contracts and payments directly. Consult the guide for the international contract and escrow workflow.
