I recently came across this website that is a fabulous resource for freelancers and creatives looking for high quality, well-paid projects. I’ve done the rounds in the online community and have at one time or another had profiles on various websites to boost the numbers of incoming gigs. But my general experience was that the projects went something like this: “We need someone to design our website, oh, and our logo… and all of our branding … and print collateral. 6 Months work. Budget: $500”

In other words, the quality of work was less than desirable, and the budgets were mostly small or non-existent. Not so with theidealists.com. The projects I’ve seen on their site are mostly fun, creative and of a very high quality. The budgets are more than fair. If you’re a creative type, they cater to many disciplines. So check it out. I highly recommend.
