1. What is the purpose of this platform?Pretty simple. We want to connect freelancers and clients in the media world. Things are getting more global, but it still feels surprisingly hard to just find people fast when you need them. The freelance world can be tough, so the idea here is to make it easier to find work and easier to find crew, wherever you are.
2. Who runs this platform?The platform was started by Alex, based in Germany. He works in media and was annoyed that something like this didn’t already exist in a clean and simple form. This is currently a hobby project and more of an experiment to see if it actually helps people.
3. Is this platform commercial?Right now, no. If one day the running costs get too big, we might have to think about it. But there is no business plan, no pricing model, no hidden agenda. If it ever changes, we would be open about it.
4. How is my data handled here?We do not show surnames, emails, phone numbers or any contact details publicly. Only registered users can view the database, and they only see first name, country, and professions. Contact details are shared privately by users themselves in messages.
We do make it easy for users to share a "business card" in one click, so please make sure your profile is complete.
5. Can I help improve the platform?Yes, please. Feedback is welcome. We are trying to keep the platform simple and functional, so we are focusing on essentials first. But suggestions are always appreciated, and we keep a long list of things to consider. Oh, and spread the word! ;)
6. Will we add rates to the profiles?No. We are not planning to show rates. Rates vary a lot around the world and we do not want to create pressure or compare people against each other. Pricing is something that should be discussed directly between the freelancer and the client. Everyone is free to ask for what they feel is fair and come to an agreement together, without outside influence.
7. Will there be a rating system?Not exactly. We are not planning any downvoting or negative rating features. These systems are often abused and can damage reputations unfairly. Instead, you will be able to recommend or vouch for people you worked with. Positive support only. The count of recommendations will be shown.
8. Does a mobile version exist?Not yet. We are focusing on the desktop version first. Once the core is stable and useful we will look into making a proper mobile version. For now it is just time and resources we do not have. Sorry :)
9. Why does this website look a bit plain?Right now we are focusing on making everything work smoothly and keeping things easy to use. Design will come later. If the platform grows and people actually like to use it, we will definitely make it prettier at some point ;)
10. What are the badges next to some users?These badges mark users who support the platform directly or from an early stage, through feedback, ideas, testing, and helping WehFree grow. ;)
11. Will any features be added to the website?Absolutely! We’re constantly improving. Just scroll down to the footer of this website and check out our Changelog to see what’s new.
