2. Fiverr
Fiverr’s 3.5 looks great compared to that but the comments still weren’t good.
Buyers complained about sellers dodging negative reviews, low quality work, or not receiving the work at all.

The “How it works” section also has no visuals so it forces me to read (inconvenient) everything to understand. Also, 6 steps is a lot - condense to likely 3.

I’m hosting a rapid prototyping workshop next weekend and plan to use Bolt.new to show non-tech founders how to build prototypes quickly/affordably.
