How it works
Five steps to a job well done
-
1
Describe your need
What you want, what it is for, your deadline and your budget. Two or three examples you like help a lot.
Post a project -
2
Choose the right freelancer
Look at the verified badge, the reviews (only possible after a completed order), the level, the portfolio and how fast they reply.

3
Pay safely
Pay by CIB or Edahabia card or from your Tamam balance. Tamam holds the money, and the freelancer starts work knowing it's there.
-
4
Follow the work
Answer questions quickly and use the revisions included in the package. Messages and files stay in the order.
-
5
Approve and review
Check the delivery, approve it to release the payment, then leave an honest review to help other clients.
Protected payments
The money goes to the freelancer only when you approve
When you order, Tamam holds your payment. The freelancer delivers through the platform, and the money is released only once you approve. If the work isn't delivered, you can request a refund from your orders.
- Held The client pays. Tamam holds the money.
- Delivered The freelancer delivers the work.
- Approved The client approves. The payment is released.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How do I pay?
On a secure payment page with your CIB or Edahabia card, or with your Tamam balance. Prices are in dinars.
What if the work isn't delivered?
The money stays held while the order is open. If the work isn't delivered, you can request a refund from your orders page, and our team can help if needed.
Contact supportCan I ask for changes?
Yes, within the revisions included in the package you chose. Be specific about what to change to get it right faster.
Can I work again with the same freelancer?
Yes. Save them to your favourites, write to them directly or ask for a custom offer for your next need.
How do I choose between several offers?
Compare what is included, the delay and the price, then look at each freelancer's profile, reviews and portfolio. The cheapest offer is not always the best value.
