Abstract

A method and system for buying and selling services online includes a process for custom services, a commodity process and a collaborative workspace on a website (102). The process for custom services includes the posting by a buyer (104) of specific criteria for a desired service, the bidding by a seller (106) to perform the service, and the selection of a seller by the buyer. The commodity process includes the posting by a seller of a service offering, the posting by the buyer of requirements for the purchase of the service offering, and the purchase of a service offering by the buyer. The commodity process may also include an optimization process that provides the buyer with an optimized list of service offerings. The collaborative workspace includes communication tools (302), a file structure (304), workbenches (306) and project management tools (308) used by the buyer and seller for facilitating the setup, development and release of one or more services.
