Freeio is a WordPress theme specifically designed to create complete freelance marketplace platforms, similar to Upwork or Fiverr. Developed by ApusTheme, this theme combines a contemporary design with a conversion-oriented structure, allowing freelancers and employers to register, create their profiles, and start interacting in just a few steps.
The proposal system is one of its pillars: freelancers can submit proposals for published jobs, and once accepted, payment is processed through the administrator. The theme includes a wallet system where funds appear as pending after deducting the administrator's commission, and are released when the employer approves the completed project. This commission model allows the administrator to monetize the platform clearly and transparently.
Freeio offers an extensive admin panel with advanced content restriction options: you can control who sees jobs, freelancer profiles, and employer contact details, with configurable access levels based on user type or even membership packages. It includes a custom fields manager, the ability to add projects, services, and jobs from the frontend, and multiple ready-to-use page templates.
The theme is fully responsive and retina ready, with powerful typography options, boxed or full-width layouts, and multiple ways to display job, service, project, and resume listings. It includes shortcodes for listings, simple and advanced search, pricing tables, and comparisons. WooCommerce integration allows payment management with multiple gateways, and social login with Facebook, Google, Twitter, and LinkedIn simplifies user registration.
With support for Google Maps, Here, and Mapbox, user notifications, one-click demo import, and compatibility with popular plugins like Elementor, Slider Revolution, MailChimp, and WPML, Freeio is a solid solution for entrepreneurs who want to launch a freelance marketplace without programming knowledge.
