Thanks for this list. Am in the process of looking for contract work.

One interesting thing is that most sites target freelancers as single people. What if I have a team of coders/designers (ie. a small software house) looking for clients? That's my current problem. Maybe will start a new thread about this.

A non-trivial number of the "freelancers" on Upworks are in fact project managers for larger teams. They'll act as the face of the project and handle communications, but the work will be done by others.

But I agree it would be nice if this was made more explicit, and even touted as a feature. In many cases I might feel more comfortable hiring a team consisting of two developers a graphic designer and a UI/UX expert as opposed to one person claiming to be an expert in all those fields.
