Our Ethos

devlancer was born out of two key frustrations:

For developers: Finding freelance work online is unnecessarily hard. Platforms like Fiverr and Upwork are crowded with low-quality devs, making it tough for talented developers to stand out—especially if they don’t have a budget for things like Upwork Connects or an established network to lean on.

For clients: Finding skilled freelance developers is equally challenging. Anyone who’s hired from the freelance pool knows the struggle: the bar is low, and many end up wasting time—and worse, money—on projects that could have been faster, better, and smoother in the hands of a committed, skilled dev. It’s unfair and misrepresents what freelance work can and should be, overshadowing hardworking, talented devs in the process.

That’s why we built devlancer: a platform to connect clients with vetted, high-quality developers for projects of any size. Whether you need a quick bug fix or a full MVP, we’ve got devs who will exceed expectations with both quality and speed.

We’ve also designed devlancer to be a game-changer for developers. Talented devs from all over the world can apply, and as long as they meet the bar, they’ll gain access to meaningful work opportunities—no expensive gimmicks or unnecessary barriers.

Our core values—quality, speed, and curiosity—guide everything we do. They shape who gets admitted to the platform and ensure devlancer stands as a home for developers and clients who share these principles.
