AI Augmented Delivery
Human Expert Delivery

Delivery is executed by a vetted expert specialised on this gig.

High-Fidelity Visual Mockups
Produce detailed mockups of the product that closely resemble the final design. These mockups give a clear visual representation of what the product will look like.

Interactive Prototyping
Develop an interactive prototype that simulates the user interface and experience. This allows for testing and evaluation of navigation, layout, and overall user interaction.

Design Revisions and Refinement
Iterate on the design based on testing outcomes and stakeholder feedback. Refine the prototype to ensure it meets the desired quality and functional requirements.

Documentation and Design Handover
Document the prototype and hand over all assets to development teams or stakeholders for further development or final production.

We need to design and prototype a new mobile app for our e-learning platform. The app will feature user authentication, course browsing, video streaming, and progress tracking. We prefer using Figma for the design process. The prototype should demonstrate intuitive navigation and a clean, modern interface. Please provide examples of previous app designs, your approach to this project, and an estimated timeline.

What is a Tech Gig?

A tech gig is a mini-project with a clear and concise scope, is typically under 1 month, and requires an expert to execute. Gigs should ideally require little project onboarding time.

What if I need more work done after the gig is completed?

You can continue working with the expert who executed the gig on an hourly basis.

Are gigs a good option for larger projects?

For projects over 2 months with more than 1 expert, fixed price gigs become impractical and we strongly recommend you to hire the expert(s) via upper.co, on a fixed monthly retainer or engage over an hourly 'time and materials' setup.

How many bids do I receive for a gig?

For every gig you will receive between 1 and 3 bids to review.

How do payments work?

Payments are issued in 2 phase, with UPPER in the middle for security. The first payment of 50% is done upfront to start work. The second payment is done at the end after the work has been delivered.
