Our Website Builder Engine is not here to undercut you. It handles quick starter sites for small budgets, the kind of job most freelancers would turn down anyway, and it brings more business owners to SmartCodeDev. When those businesses need custom work, that work goes to our freelancers.
Everything we build is designed to bring more business owners to the platform, which can mean more opportunities for you.
Brings in new small businesses with a free homepage preview. Anything beyond a simple 5-page site is pointed to a custom project.
Answers visitors around the clock on every page, and directs complex requests to post a project, rather than squeezing them into the Engine.
Guides for hiring React, mobile app, Shopify, AI chatbot, UI/UX and WordPress developers help clients scope and budget for work you do.
Once you're approved, your profile is listed where clients browse vetted professionals by skill and category.
Clients post projects free. Public projects take up to 3 bids, and private ones are assigned by our team to a professional from our network.
Clients compare bids and pay on their private project page. You bid, see assigned work and connect Stripe payouts in your portal.
Every freelancer hears from business owners whose budget is too small for custom work. Instead of turning them away, send them to the Website Builder Engine, and earn a $25 reward for each one who buys.
Website Builder referrals run through our free Partner Program, which is open to freelancers too.
Business owners you can't serve, or don't want to, at their budget.
Rewards follow our referral terms. Refunded, cancelled, complimentary and fraudulent orders, self-referrals, your own business or businesses you control, and referrals obtained through spam or paid ads on the SmartCodeDev name don't earn a reward. Partner applications are approved at SmartCodeDev's discretion. This is separate from the freelancer invite bonus in your Freelancer Portal.

Exactly what you bid, or the amount we agree with you for an assigned private project. That's the amount we send to you once the work is delivered.
Clients pay a 10% SmartCodeDev fee (minimum $15 per project) on top of your bid. For example, if you bid $1,000, the client pays $1,100 and you receive the full $1,000. The fee is paid by the client, never taken from your earnings.
Connect a Stripe payout account once in the Freelancer Portal. The client pays SmartCodeDev before work starts, and we release your payment as soon as the work is delivered. If your bank account is in a currency other than USD, standard currency conversion by Stripe or your bank may apply.
Skilled professionals from anywhere Stripe payouts are available. We review every application for experience and quality, usually within 3 business days.
No. All client communication goes through SmartCodeDev. We handle the client relationship, the scope and the payment, so you can focus on the work. Profiles and bids that include contact details are blocked, and working directly with SmartCodeDev clients outside the platform isn't allowed.
No. The Website Builder Engine only makes simple starter websites of up to 5 pages for small budgets. Custom work, such as booking systems, online stores and Shopify, custom features, apps, AI chatbots, branding, SEO, redesigns, integrations and larger sites, is directed to projects on SmartCodeDev for our freelancers. The Engine brings more business owners to the platform, and as they grow, they can come back for custom work. See how it works.
