Finding freelance designers or web design companies for the websites are good way to make profit and save money from a business. And a lot of people are doing it. This is not only good way to save money for the service buyers, but also for the service providers. There are a lot of ways to search freelance designers as well as web design companies. You can go to the getafreelancer type of websites and DP forum. Otherwise you can simply search in Google. But there is easier method than these all. Thats called Spock.
Spock is a people search engine. Basically it searches people by name, email, location, profession and even with description of a person. And this is not designed only for web designer search. But for every kind of people search. You might be wondering how can I use it to find a web designer. Here is an example. Suppose you are looking for a cheap web designer, then you might want someone from Nepal or India. Now, leave the name or email id field blank and put web design or web designer in tags field. Put Nepal or India in Location field then hit search. You will find a lot of people working on website design in Nepal.
Not only web designers, you can use spock to search any kind of people. You can even use it to find your friend with whom you have not met since long.
So how does it work? Spock combines search informations from the social networking sites, biography sites, blogs etc and the spock communities who adds or modifies the people informations in the website. Users can add people, add pictures, web links, tags etc.
First time I saw spock and I love it.
Also, they have widget for each person. Which includes name, picture and tags. You can have your widget from spock and place that in your web page or blog. Something like following.
