FAQs

To ensure a good match between the freelancer's skills and your project requirements, review their portfolio and previous work experiences listed on their Contra profile. Look for specific projects similar to yours and check for client feedback that highlights their competence in relevant technologies. Additionally, consider setting a brief technical assessment or trial project to directly evaluate their capabilities.
Begin by creating a detailed project scope document outlining all project requirements, goals, and timelines. Share this with the backend engineer and have an initial discussion to ensure mutual understanding. Agree on a roadmap with specific milestones and deliverables, and document these agreements on Contra to keep both parties accountable. Regular check-ins and status updates can help keep the project on track.
Establish communication preferences and tools at the beginning of the project. Decide on regular check-in schedules, such as weekly meetings or bi-weekly reviews, and agree on a primary mode of communication, whether it be via Contra’s messaging, emails, or video calls. Setting up shared documentation or project management tools can also aid in maintaining consistent and clear communication throughout the project.
