I'm interesting in starting a niche site that connects buyers of services with freelancers. I'm not interested in running a lowest bid type site. But had more envisioned it as a place where members could post jobs for and freelancers would post a profile with feedback.
So here's my issue as I look around at technology to accomplish this.
Do I go with a script like Kubelance or ilance that offers job posting, escrowing, profiles and feedback, but no real community feel/forum or, do I go wtih a forum program and find a way to integrate escrowing but leave the set up more like a forum?
I envision having a front page that could have articles, blog content, most recent job postings and freelancers that have joined the community and of course a place to sign up
Not sure if I explained that very well
