Elance is one of the biggest freelancing jobs website and there are plenty for everyone..They restrict the number of bids, depending on the type of account.  One of the features that you may find annoying in this service is that you have to undergo an exam to be eligible to enlist yourself as a service provider.  Phone number verification is also mandatory.

Lime Exchange is another interesting service to help web designers and developers find the right kind of jobs for themselves. There are interesting projects, many professional freelancers and trustful customers, and tests to pass and show your skills. However, their membership plans can be complex and confusing.

If you have the skills, you will find oDesk to be very convenient in finding jobs.  The jobs here are countless; the filters are very good so you’re instantly connected to the kind of jobs you’re looking for.

PureDesignResources

PureDesignResources has an impressive and rich collection of tutorials, trends, blogs and articles on their website. They have an edge over other freelance job resources in terms of creativity and the easily manageable listing of resources.  However, they do not have their own database of jobs. PureDesignResource acts as a job aggregator. The jobs are from different sources so it is hard to describe them and their commissioning fees

RentaCoder

RentaCoder is one of the oldest freelancing websites on the internet. With numerous amounts of projects for designers and developers, this freelancing website has a lot of opportunities for you. In fact, RentaCoder was the first to design the process of “skill verification”.

Smashing Jobs

Smashing Magazine is undoubtedly the best design magazine out there. With the readership of thousands of members, they also have a job board of their own. The projects range from part time to full time. The prices are not shown, as they are agreed upon between client and provider. Also SmashingJobs has no profit from future contracts between freelancers and customers.

If you are a web designer or web developer, you must be familiar with the SitePoint network. They are the pioneers when it comes to producing great quality tutorials and articles on web design and development. They also have a job board of their own. The jobs here are few but the articles, tutorials, tips, and tricks are totally amazing. Also the books presented are great.

99Designs

In my opinion, 99Designs is the best website for finding and getting web design related jobs. Here you can find some of the best designers in the world. Also the blog gives you a lot of resources. A few months ago they started a new concept: a freelancer posts his work, a customer likes it and buys it.

Jobs on the Wall

Jobs on the Wall is another new job board from a leading design blog. There are not a lot of jobs posted, but the quality is good and this job board is likely to grow.
