Online contractor-client management system

Abstract

The way in which professionals and clients interact has changed due to the increasing demand for freelance services and on-demand skill-sharing platforms. The concept and development of Skill Share Connect , an online platform intended to promote smooth communication between customers looking for specialized services and employees offering professional experience, is presented in this dissertation. The main goal of this study was to develop a system that is easy to use and efficient enough to let clients locate, get in touch with, and hire experts without having to deal with the hassles of job management, internal communication, or payment processing. The platform's main goal is to give service providers easy-to-use means of direct communication—like phone and email—while also giving them a place to display their abilities. To maintain a balance between adaptive development methods and rigorous system design, a hybrid development approach that combines Agile and Structured Systems Analysis and Design approach (SSADM) was used. Three user categories—clients, employees, and administrators—each with unique features were considered when designing the platform. Worker accounts and service categories are managed by administrators, and clients can find workers by category and get in touch with them directly through their profiles. Conversely, employees have the ability to design comprehensive profiles that highlight their qualifications, offerings, and contact details. In order to construct a scalable, secure, and responsive system, HTML , CSS , PHP , and MySQL were used in the platform's development. A user login system, category-based search capabilities, and profile management for both employees and clients are important elements. By means of this project, the research shows how straightforward and uncomplicated communication solutions can improve the experience for clients and service providers alike, lowering barriers to entry and building confidence. The finished product provides independent contractors looking to network with possible clients in a cutthroat industry with an approachable, effective alternative.
