1. What is post4solution all about?
In a nutshell, post4solution is a platform that makes it easy for clients to compare and hire talent/ professionals (freelancers) on an agreed budget e.g. a client can be looking for a web designer to create a web site for him/ her. Here the client selects his budget of choice from a list provided and posts the job. Any interested web designer can contact the client or send the client a proposal. The client then selects the web designer of choice who can get the website done satisfactorily. Other listed categories of jobs can be posted on post4solution.

3. I have registered, but have not been sent my login details, what’s wrong?
If you have registered properly and you are yet to receive your login details. If you have exhausted other alternatives like “lost password” or “password recovery”, You may need to be patient, due to filters on some free email service providers, they could identify them as spam and as a result they are delayed. If you have a business email address e.g., jide@officeemail.com, you won’t experience such delayed delivery and it appears in your” inbox” instantly. For some, delays do not occur, for some it would take a few minutes, hours or more. You need to check back on your email to get it. But one thing for sure is that it will arrive. If it arrives in your “spam folder” move it to “your inbox “and identify it as “not spam”. If you need it urgently another alternative is to create it for you manually. You can do so when you contact us.

Except if the customer specifies a certificate holder for the job, jobs apart from that require your skill and expertise to submit proposals.
