Emoonlighter Doubles the Number of Creative Categories Posted on the Website!

Pittsburgh, PA - February 25, 2003 - February may be the shortest month of the year, but Emoonlighter has packed the month with exciting changes to their online marketplace for freelancers looking for work and employers seeking help. On February 17, Emoonlighter doubled the number of creative categories listed on CREATIVEmoonlighter-one of four of the company's specialized websites. The additional categories benefit both employers and professionals registered on the website. Employers can more easily locate the specific type of professional that they need, and professionals can better highlight their specialized creative skills on their profiles.

Why make these alterations? Creating the additional, specific creative categories enables Emoonlighter to make highly relevant matches between employers' needs and professionals' skills. Previously, if an employer was looking for an oil painter, the employer had to search for professionals who had selected the general skill "artist". Now, when an employer searches for an oil painter, the employer may search for pros that have listed that specific skill. By making more detailed skill categories, Emoonlighter helps employers locate the exact help that they need.

Over 80 creative skill categories exist on CREATIVEmoonlighter. Major categories include: website design, Flash animation, graphic design, illustration, painting, sculpture, writing, photography, videography, presentations, advertising, broadcasting, fashion design, and interior design. Many of these broad categories are now broken down into detailed sub-categories.

Other future additions to the site include a convenient direct deposit payment system as well as improved search forms.
