What Freelancer changed

• Updated thousands of internal links to include "www." in the URL (e.g., freelancer.com changed to www.freelancer.com).
• Fixed several "Failed to load" sections that now display active project categories.

The platform is shifting focus from just "hiring" to "launching" projects. This targets entrepreneurs who have ideas but haven't started yet. They also updated all site links to use a more secure and standard web format.

• Added specific project examples with price and duration (e.g., "Mobile app design cost $1500 USD and took 20 days").

• Removed several video background elements and replaced them with static project showcases.
• Changed all internal links to remove the "www." prefix from the URL.
• Added a new "Tap into a global talent network" section explaining the four-step process of hiring.
• Expanded the list of job categories shown on the main page to include over 4,000 types.

The site now shows real prices and timelines for specific projects like mobile apps and NASA shields. This helps new users understand exactly what they might pay and how long work takes before they sign up.

• Added new specialized categories including Robotics Engineering, Precision CAD Design, R&D & Science, and Industrial Design.
• Updated the homepage headline to include the phrase "Champions for hire."
• Removed specific project examples like the NASA radiation shield design.
• Updated the professional user count from 90.1 million to 90.2 million.

The platform is shifting its focus from simple digital tasks to complex physical engineering and R&D. This suggests they are targeting higher-value industrial and scientific projects rather than just basic design or data entry.
