Network Solutions partners oDesk

BANGALORE, INDIA: In October, Network Solutions opened its arms to the Web developer community by creating LinkTogether, a site for Web designers and developers to find answers, download tools, and leverage client management resources.

Now, Network Solutions has partnered with oDesk to offer exclusive jobs and projects to developers and Web designers who are members of LinkTogether.

Network Solutions has created a private group on oDesk that makes it easier for a Web developer or designer to find freelance work. Here, Web professionals will find well defined projects and contractor jobs only available to LinkTogether members.

"It's free to browse or apply to jobs," said Warren Smith, director of product management at Network Solutions.

"Whether it's sharing job leads, tips, tools or making connections within the industry, Network Solutions is committed to help Web designers and developers," added Smith.

When Network Solutions made the decision to connect the Web developer community to well defined job leads, oDesk was a natural fit to help with the fulfillment.

Members of LinkTogether can leverage world class management and escrow tools within this destination for online teams. Freelancers around the world have the opportunity to apply for and work on any jobs posted into the Network Solutions Group on oDesk, which can be accessed by any LinkTogether member.

For any business looking to hire a contractor, a free wizard makes defining requirements easy. By answering a few simple questions a job request instantly becomes a well defined statement of work which gets projects started in the right direction.

LinkTogether was created to be a fully stocked resource for Web professionals. Members of the community can access a variety of tools to manage both projects and clients, including Web site templates, legal documents, turnkey solutions, a directory of colleagues, video tutorials and even developer discounts on Network Solutions products and services.
