SoTalented

For startups, solo founders and agencies

Turn three freelancers into one team

Swap the patchwork for people dedicated to your company, in one office, on one invoice.

  • The SoTalented Office Guarantee
  • Works in your time zone
  • $0 until you hire

Sound familiar.

  • Design, front end and content each sit with someone different, on a different invoice.
  • When one goes quiet before a launch, there’s nobody to call.
  • You spend more time coordinating freelancers than the work itself takes.

For example

Say your design sits with one freelancer, the front end with another and the blog with a third. Each is good on a good week. Together they need you to brief, chase and stitch the work, and nobody owns the whole.

Replace them with a frontend developer, a graphic designer and a content writer in your satellite office. They work only for you, from an office, every working day, and they’re on our payroll, so three invoices become one.

You stop managing vendors and start managing a team.

What you’d set up.

Every seat is dedicated to your company and never shared. Prices are per person, per month, all-inclusive, and differ by level.
