Portfolio
Your profile may have a related portfolio containing samples of your work. Many buyers search or browse our directory of portfolio samples when selecting a provider for their projects. Choose a higher membership level to increase the number of samples you can have in your portfolio. The more samples you have, the better you will be able to showcase your skills and the more likely you are to be listed in buyers’ search results.

Directory Position
When buyers browse our provider directories, they are often looking for something that catches their attention. While having a detailed profile and an impressive portfolio are important, getting noticed is equally important. Profiles with higher membership levels are listed above profiles with lower membership levels. The higher your profile is listed in our provider directories, the more likely it is to get noticed by buyers.
**Featured Listings may occupy the #1 position of each directory page, regardless of membership level.
