Title
BalkanFreelance - The Freelancing Web Platform
Abstract
This research presents BalkanFreelance, a specialized freelancing web platform designed specifically for the Balkan (EX-YU) region. The platform addresses the gap between global freelancing marketplaces and the unique economic needs of the Balkan area by creating a localized digital hub that enables regional talent to showcase their skills and secure employment opportunities.
The problem addressed is the overloaded global freelance market, and the lack of opportunities for local freelancers and young talents to showcase their skills and knowledge.
Two important features set BalkanFreelance apart: a strong role-based authentication system guaranteeing platform security and trust, and a hybrid payment system enabling both conventional ways (PayPal) and blockchain-based transactions.
The platform's core functionality includes comprehensive gig management, so the users are able to create their own gigs as well as search for opportunities that match their skills.
While acknowledging challenges such as market competition and trust-building, BalkanFreelance aims to empower local professionals, create new income streams, and foster a digital community that supports self-employment.
This project shows how locally focused digital solutions could boost entrepreneurship and generate economic growth within the Balkan region's growing gig economy.
