A Typical Experience w/ Sloped

Sloped has a network of business members looking for people with professional-level SketchUp and LayOut skills.

When a business has a project in need of help, they provide the details (budget, scope, timelines, etc.), then we hand-pick the IP (independent professional) that we think is best suited for the job. There is no competition and no bidding.

There are three types of contracts that Sloped offers to businesses:

  1. Fixed Fee with Milestones

  2. Hourly with a Retainer *

  3. Hourly with Prepay **

If you are selected for the project, you will then be added to the contract, where you can interact with the business, ask them questions and negotiate the scope or the fees (if you choose). Once everyone is happy with the terms of the contract, both parties sign, a deposit gets paid by the business into Sloped’s escrow account, and work can begin.

In order to ensure the safety of the IP, deposits are always taken before the work begins in the event that the business defaults on payment. Our priority is to make sure you get paid for the work you’ve completed.

* Retainer contracts are for businesses who want a freelancer’s services for multiple projects. Business deposits a retainer amount, generally 2 weeks of work at the freelancer hourly rate. This deposit stays in Sloped Escrow for the life of the contract. Business pays out for each submitted invoice.

** Prepay contracts are for a business with a particular project but no real budget. Monies are deposited and the freelancer invoices are paid from that deposit until they fully consumed.
