No-Code Consultant
Unicorn Factory is a freelancer marketplace I built to make it easier for New Zealand businesses to find local freelancers. The platform is designed to save time, reduce frustration, and connect businesses with talented professionals. I built it using no-code tools like Webflow, Airtable, Make.com, and Glide, which made it quicker and cheaper to launch.
The Problem
Before Unicorn Factory, businesses struggled to find reliable freelancers. Here’s what they told me:
1. Too much time wasted: Traditional platforms made it hard to find the right person.
2. Costly to build custom solutions: Hiring developers to create something like this was expensive, especially for small businesses.
3. No focus on local talent: Most platforms pushed businesses toward hiring globally, which didn’t help if they wanted someone nearby.
These problems left businesses frustrated and freelancers missing out on opportunities.
What I Did
I built Unicorn Factory to solve these problems and make the process easy for everyone.
Here’s how it works:
- Easy Search: Businesses can search for freelancers based on their skills and experience.
- Automation: Things like messages and job applications are automated to save time.
- Organized Data: Airtable keeps everything in one place, so managing profiles and projects is simple.
- Clean Design: Using Webflow, the platform looks great and is easy to navigate.
- Mobile-Friendly: With Glide, freelancers and businesses can use it on the go.
Using no-code tools meant I could get Unicorn Factory up and running fast, without needing a team of developers.
Results
Since launching, Unicorn Factory has made a big impact:
1. Businesses Save Time: Over 6,000 New Zealand businesses have found freelancers through the platform. They no longer have to waste time searching or dealing with complicated systems.
2. Freelancers Get Work: More than 500 freelancers have landed jobs, built relationships with clients, and grown their careers.
3. Building Connections: Freelancers and businesses can now work together easily, creating more opportunities for everyone.
Why This Matters
Unicorn Factory shows what’s possible with no-code tools. It’s helped businesses and freelancers solve real problems without spending a ton of money or time.
