Planning your Service Offer
Remember to consider these criteria when you add a Service Offer:
- Experience: Does the service align with your expertise and what clients typically request?
- Service delivery: Is the Service Offer easy to deliver as a fixed-rate project or hourly service using the Cad Crowd Timer app?
- Portfolio: Can you leverage past projects you can showcase to demonstrate your capabilities?
- Add-ons: Does the service allow potential add‑ons (e.g., faster delivery, additional revisions, etc.)?
You can create multiple Service Offers, each tailored to meet the specific needs of clients, while ensuring clarity and scalability.
Steps to create a Service Offer
You can then add a new service by following the steps below:
1. Add a new Service Offer
- Add a service: Add a Service Offer by selecting the Post a service button
- Manage services: You can manage and edit your active Service Offers in your service list
2. Overview
- Service title: Share the deliverables (e.g., “3D product rendering in V-Ray“) for your Service Offer in just a few words.
- Description: Explain why clients should choose your Service Offer. You can highlight unique value, delivery speed, or progress-based payment milestones.
- Category: Choose the main categories for your service on the site.
- Skill/software tags: Select the most relevant skills and software that best match your service offerings. The tags help potential clients find your service.
- Questions & answers: Add Q&A to help answer commonly asked client questions. A Q&A that includes frequently asked questions reduces the amount of back-and-forth with new clients and increases sales.

4. Gallery for services
- Add images: Upload high‑quality examples, images, 3D models for the viewer (supported formats), videos, or PDF samples that showcase what the client will receive with your Service Offer.
- Guidelines: Avoid including watermarks, clickbait, or disclosing personal contact information.
