FreelanceKazi is Africa’s first homegrown freelance marketplace, connecting businesses with skilled freelancers across the continent. The platform empowers African talent by offering a secure, easy-to-use space where clients can post jobs and freelancers can find opportunities in various industries, from tech and design to writing and marketing.
FreelanceKazi was envisioned as a competitive alternative to global platforms like Upwork and Fiverr—tailored specifically for African users. The client needed a scalable and secure freelance platform that:
Supports user registration for clients and freelancers
Enables project posting, bidding, and secure messaging
Includes wallet functionality for escrow-based payments
Provides a clean, modern user interface optimized for mobile
Allows admin oversight of transactions, disputes, and user activity
Can handle thousands of users with fast loading times
Time-to-market and platform reliability were critical for launch.
We collaborated closely with the founder to plan, design, and develop a fully functional freelance marketplace built for scale and usability.
We started by outlining key user roles, workflows, and backend requirements. The architecture was designed to ensure performance, data security, and ease of use.
We built a robust platform with the following core features:
Multi-role registration for clients and freelancers
Job posting and proposal system with category filters
Real-time messaging for seamless communication
Wallet integration and escrow payments for security
Dashboard analytics for users and admin
Admin panel for content moderation, user management, and financial tracking
Recognizing the high mobile user base in Africa, we ensured every page was responsive and intuitive across devices.
We implemented two-factor authentication (2FA), secure payment API integrations, and CDN usage to deliver fast loading speeds globally.
