Exertio is a premium WordPress theme specifically designed to create and launch a complete freelance services marketplace, similar to platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, or Freelancer. It is intended for entrepreneurs, agencies, and service-based business owners who want to set up a portal where employers and freelancers can connect, post projects, submit proposals, and manage hiring without having to develop a platform from scratch.
The theme allows users to create employer or freelancer accounts for free in just a few minutes. Freelancers can build detailed professional profiles, publish services with images, videos, FAQs, and specialization fields, while employers can post free or paid projects, invite freelancers directly, and manage custom offers. The bidding system includes featured, top, and sticky bids to increase the visibility of proposals.
Exertio incorporates a commission system for referrals and completed services, allowing you to monetize the platform sustainably. It includes a digital wallet system to manage transactions, milestone creation for staged payments, and manual or automatic payment generation. The integrated chat facilitates real-time communication between employers and freelancers, and Zoom integration allows video calls directly from the platform.
The theme is compatible with Elementor to customize headers, footers, and page layouts via drag-and-drop, and integrates with WooCommerce to manage payments and transactions securely. It includes job alerts, on-site notifications, identity and email verification, and social login via Facebook or Google. The complete user dashboard offers a clear view of projects, transactions, and interactions.
With a fully responsive design, SEO-optimized, and translation-ready, Exertio offers a robust and scalable solution for those looking to launch a professional services marketplace, whether in a specific niche or as a general freelance hiring platform.
