We connect companies with handpicked freelancers for projects (mostly short-term). It’s free to join and for clients to use (we take 10% from project fees, with nothing hidden or extra), and work with the likes of the BBC, Unilever, The Global Poverty Project, Converse and Future Cinema. Our members are from a variety of creative & technical backgrounds (from photography and web design to immersive events and copywriting).<br><br>We're getting a lot of web development work through the doors and would love to pass some of it your way if this sounds like something you’d be interested in. A lot of it is Rails-based, but we have had requests for PHP / node / ASP too.</div><div><br></div><div>If you would like to find out more, please get in touch with my colleague <a href="mailto:sian@thebackscratchers.com">sian@thebackscratchers.com</a>.</div><div><br></div><div><div>Kind regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Leo</div></div>
