Outsourcing whole or part projects is now easier as well. Whether it is search engine marketing, website content creation or back-end development, through SitePoint Market, users can buy, sell or trade services.

The free Skills Exchange is an ideal way for web developers and designers to keep a lid on expenses while building their business. said Mr Harbottle. And SitePoint Market is all about helping our users to grow businesses from their unique skills.

The site is divided into three sections: Find Products, Find Projects and Find People, each with a set of subcategories that provides easy navigation to the product or service of interest. Posting a listing is an easy step-by-step process.

There is a variety of pricing levels, with the currency of the site being Marketplace Credits -- each worth $ US1. Free postings are offered in the Want To Buy, Link Exchange and Skills Exchange sections.

All transactions on the site are between buyer and seller, with SitePoint being the neutral facilitator that brings them together.

Kick Start Offer A Great Success

In launching SitePoint Market, users who listed on the site in the first 7 days of its operation are receiving a US$ 50 bonus for future listings. This offer closes on March 7th, 2011.
