Translation with Colour® now available at Thumbtack.com

Making yourself seen in the midst of a crowd is not at all that easy. Try to etch in your mind a huge squre full with people - in this case translators or wannabe translators - all of them waving a sign telling the language pairs they work with. The client goes to a balcony equipped with binoculars watching out for the right person...  How to sort the right professional for that urgent translation in order to close the contract? Now imagine you try to go local with this type of search! It's the needle in the haystack...

The solution comes in the form of Thumbtack.com. This nifty website is the ultimate meeting point for people offering services and their clients. What's best Thumbtack is a free service!

The service provider can grant all the details about his/her work (such as description of services, rates, information about the trade, the "do-and-don'ts",...), telling how he/she stands out from the crowd of professionals, curious, and DIY translators around the block. Reviews, testimonials, links, and question and answers (like a FAQ) are included for added assurance on the transaction.

Consider Thumbtack.com for your service needs... locally!

We can tell in the beginning we were a bit skeptic, but after the first contacts by prospective customers requesting quotes and awarding jobs... Yes, after this you know Thumbtack.com works.
