How to write a need that gets great offers

Published August 28, 2026 · WDOYN

On WDOYN you don't fill in a job form — you describe what you need in plain words. The clearer that description, the better and faster the offers. Here's a simple structure.

1. Say what "done" looks like

Lead with the outcome, not the task. "A 5-page website for my dental clinic with an appointment form" is better than "need a web developer".

2. Add the constraints that matter

Budget range, deadline, must-have integrations, existing brand assets, the platform you're on. Two or three lines is enough.

3. Show what you have

Links to your current site, references you like, a rough sketch. Freelancers price and plan much faster with context.

4. Pick the right category and subcategory

We guess it from your text, but confirming it (e.g. Development → Shopify Developers) puts your need in front of the people who do exactly that.

5. Keep it short

A strong need is 4–8 sentences. You'll fill in the rest when you message the freelancers whose offers you like.
