Tips for creating your profile
Here we give you all the advice so that you can easily complete and/or modify your profile.
Create your freelance profile here https://www.malt.uk/signup
Your description
The description must be at least 200 characters.
The layout of your description in Malt is not exactly the same as on other platforms.
To be able to put the text in bold, you have 2 possibilities:
you can insert text between two asterisks: ** BOLD **
or insert it between 2 underscores: __ BOLD __
To add text in italics, you must put a special character on each side of the text:
you can do it * Like this *
or _ then_
Once the relationship between the freelance expert and the client is established, our platform allows direct contact through our messaging tool so it is not possible to share contact details in your profile description. This avoids SPAM and makes it possible to keep the first exchanges on the platform in the event of a possible dispute.
However, once contact has been established with the customer via the platform, you can communicate your contact details (Skype, telephone number, email, etc.) to facilitate your exchanges.
We even encourage you to meet the client!
