Hello,
These two requests will:
a) Improve website navigation experience for Clients - helping them to identify appropriate freelancers more easily
b) Help Freelancers personalise their pitch and attract the right clients
1: Specialised Section Links or TABs show up on a Freelancer profile as shown in the attached screenshot.
Presumably the content within a Specialised Profile Section is... unique or specialised in some way, designed to be useful for a niche of clients.
But 'Audio Editing' is not a niche - it's a generic, broad term for literally thousands of differently skilled disciplines. TAB titles look similarly broad for other skills too.
I want to create a specialised profile specifically to offer 'end-to-end support for Authors to record & narrate their own audiobook, receive complete editing and achieve Audible/ACX submission'. This service deserves it's own profile - it's an involved and value-laden process, a 6+ month project covering many disciplines, but much of it is not relevant to potential clients who want help with a Podcast, or feature length film - hence, it should have it's own Specialised Profile space.
But 'Audio Editing' is not a title these authors are going to click on. Because it does not indicate what is on the next screen. They're already on a generic profile for an Audio Editor - why click a random, non-indicative link?
Equally, if I wanted to create a second 'Specialised Profile' to speak in detail to Film Post-Production clients, it too would be called 'Audio Editor'.
How will a client requiring a specialised service know which 'Audio Editor' link to click on? At the moment it would just be trial and error, or more likely, the poor navigation experience will mean they will leave.
Please, allow us to name our Specialised Profile links to speak to our clients.
2: Similarly, 'Audio and video consultation' doesn't mean anything. Why would someone click on it? I don't even DO video - yet this is as specific as you allow the title and link to be.
Why can't I change the title to 'Audiobook and Podcast production consultation'? Something that actually means something to my clients.
Presumably, in the back end of the website you can lump these Specialised Profiles and Consultations in as few generic groups as you like - as it is now.
But considering the quality of front-end website navigation for Clients - it makes a lot of sense for these titles to be editable by Freelancers to best describe and signpost their services.
Thanks.
