How to create a task without endless clarifications
A short structure that helps get clear responses and not waste time in correspondence.
Working example
Need a landing page for an IT startup
Homepage, product page and form block. Style — minimalism, focus on product.
2 weeks, budget 500-800 €. Send portfolio and estimated deadlines.
Title
"Landing page design for IT startup" is better than just "Need design".
Description
What to do, which screens, what style and what's important to emphasize.
Budget
A range helps performers understand the level of the task and prepare a proposal.
Deadline
Realistic deadline + checkpoints if any.
Materials
Attach examples, brand book, links — this saves time for everyone.
What not to count on
General phrases without details — "make a website, need it fast and cheap".
Budget "we'll discuss" and "any" scares away those who work at market rates.
Tight deadline without arguments: "need it today" raises doubts.
Several different tasks in one brief; better to split.
No feedback in chat — performers leave for those who respond.
