Each professional should create an account to send proposals, offer a service, start new working collaborations, participate in the Creative Community, and publish blog posts. Creating an account involves filling out an online form where it is necessary to indicate your education, working experience and professional competences.

To give prominence to young professionals, helping them growing their career, Yuppie On is aimed at all GOLD Freelancers (Graduates of the Last Decade). If you have obtained an academic qualification, at a faculty of Architecture or Design, in the last 10 years, you can consider yourself a GOLD Freelancer and you can be eligible to be part of our Architecture and Design platform.

Yes, to take advantage of all the benefits provided by Yuppie On, it is necessary to pay an annual fee (“All included” or “Creative Community”). However, the platform will not charge fees on each project and any other extra.

After creating your account and submitting all the necessary information for the verification of your identity and professional competences, you can send proposals and apply to jobs, published in the “Find a job” page. In your proposal, you can write a cover letter and indicate your rate for the job.

After sending your proposal or receiving an invitation to work, communication between both parties will begin, in a direct and personalized form. Through the platform you can send files and messages in order to provide feedbacks and constant updates on the project. To guarantee transparency, quality, and security, it is strongly recommended to carry out all actions through the platform. Otherwise, none of the above conditions will be guaranteed.

Quality control implies the review of the project by Yuppie On’s team before it is delivered to the client. It guarantees quality and, according to the chosen plan, it concerns:

• Project compliance with client defined criteria;
• Number of elaborations delivered;
• Relevance of the project: ability to respond to client’s objectives;
• Aesthetic quality of graphic elaborations;
• Project functionality;
• Technical errors;
• Innovation in the project, if required.

After defining all the conditions of the work (price, duration, and milestones), it can be considered awarded only when the client pays the amount requested for its realization. The amount will not be sent immediately to you, but it will be deposited on our platform as a guarantee. You will receive the payment as soon as the work is completed and approved by client.

It means splitting the project into tasks to which are associated a deadline and a price. This is an optional way to organize the work but, for complex projects, with a duration longer than one month, it is necessary to proceed with the definition of milestones (with a minimum granularity of a week and a maximum of one month), so that you can start receiving installments of the agreed amount.

If the project does not comply with the criteria requested by the client, Yuppie On will notify you who will have to make the corrections within the required time. Once the corrections are completed, you can resubmit the project on the platform, and it will be delivered to the client for his/her evaluation.

If, for any reason, the project is not delivered on time, and if the delay exceeds 15% of the hours or days agreed during the award of work, the client will be entitled to a full refund of the amount previously deposited on the platform. This amount will be not paid to you. In case you are working on several projects at the same time, Yuppie On advises to carefully define the due dates of the projects.

The client will receive a full refund of the amount previously deposited on the platform, and you will lose the right to be paid. If the work has been organized through milestones and you have concluded some of these, you will only receive the payments related with the completed milestones.

After concluding the project, the client has the right to approve it within 3 working days. After the approval of your work, your payment will be available for withdraw, on the platform, within 3 working days.  

If, for any reason, the client does not approve the project within 3 working days, after the completion of the work, you will be entitled to receive the agreed amount, previously deposited on the platform, and the client may run the risk of not receiving the work in its entirety.

The Creative Community is a place to find colleagues, from many countries, to start working collaborations, and create project teams for the participation in Architecture and Design competitions, even remotely. All GOLD Professionals and graduating students will have access to it, and they can:
