  ### 1. Freelance Development Support - Banner / Social Animations

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michaella H. | Digital Producer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**What do you like best about Gun.io?**

Being able to find freelance support on short notice / with specific skills or expertise was easy with Gun.io. We jumped on a call to provide them with details of what we needed, and they sent out 'job postings' to their extensive network to see if anyone could fit the bill. The overall cost was reasonable, and they were quick to communicate via email.

**What do you dislike about Gun.io?**

I'd say the only potential improvement would be to follow up with our team once a scope of work or budget goes over the initial amount. We were alerted that our developer needed more time, though it was about double what we'd initially quoted for work that we felt wasn't overly complicated. It would've been nice to have a conversation about this to see if we could find a middle ground, as some of the additional time wasn't in our control. Most of this was documented via Slack with our developer, but we weren't aware that the additional dev time was needed until we were provided with a burn report and then asked to pay a separate invoice. There was a learning curve in working with a new developer, but we felt some of the extra time was due to missed details vs. the complexity of the work.

**What problems is Gun.io solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We're a small yet mighty digital team, and the freelance support from Gun.io is helpful to manage growing workloads.
