Enter your email address and choose a password that will allow you to access your account.

Your email must be valid and will be the contact address that will appear on your profile.

Then click “Next” to proceed to the second step and fill in your profile.

Include your first and last name and the name of your company.

Write a short text of personal presentation. This text will be highlighted when your profile is displayed to the visitors of the platform, so use a clear and concise style, which encourages visitors to consult the details of your profile.

Add an image to your profile. Note that this image will be presented in B&W on the site, for reasons of homogeneity of the graphic style (color version visible when hovering).

Then fill in the “Service offer” paragraph to tell visitors what type of service you offer. You can add concrete examples of projects and achievements.

Describe your professional and personal background in the “Biography” section, so that visitors can get to know you better.

Finally, list your main skills: these can be technical skills, personal skills, training courses you have taken or qualifications and diplomas. The most important thing is that these elements are related to the service you offer.

The following blocks are for your contact information that you wish to display on your profile:

• The phone number where you can be reached
• The link to your company’s website
• Links to your company’s pages on social networks (Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin)

In the lower part of the box, you can mention :

• The average daily rate you charge and the currency (CHF / EUR).
• The number of people in your company
• The registration number of your company in the commercial register (if available)

This information is not mandatory. Nevertheless, it contributes to reassure your potential customers, who will naturally tend to contact first the service providers presenting the most details and transparency.

Then indicate your geographical location (complete address).

This address allows you to be positioned on the map and to make you visible to customers who want to work with service providers in their region.

Choose a functional category (one choice only) that best fits your service area.

Finally, click on “submit” to save your profile and submit it to the bestfindoors team for approval.

Once your account is validated and activated, you will receive a confirmation email and you will be able to login to your account to continue to complete or update your profile and write articles.

Once your account is validated, your profile is put online and visible to all users.

Any modification you make to your profile from your provider space (e.g. adding a link, modifying a text, changing an image) is immediately reflected in your online profile.

To broadcast your profile, the easiest way is to use the share buttons located at the top right of your profile page.

They allow you to share your profile either on social networks (Linkedin, Facebook) or by email, to the people you want.

You can also integrate a link to your profile, in a document or a web page, simply by copying the URL address of your profile.

To publish articles, you must already have a validated provider account.

Then log in to your provider area with your personal login and go to the “My articles” section.

Then select “Write a new article”.

The framework for writing a new article is proposed.

The interface is deliberately very simplified. The formatting of the text (e.g. font size and style) is automatically done when the article is saved and published on the platform.

To use more advanced functionalities (e.g. othographic correction, text formatting), or to work on your text, we advise you to prepare your articles with a word processing tool and then import the various text blocks. Indeed, saving the article in draft form is not available, a saved article is automatically published. The access to the article, from the provider’s account, remains of course possible to modify or delete it.

Enter the title of your article in the first box reserved for this purpose. Choose an evocative title, in a catchy style to make the reader want to consult your text.

Then enter a very short summary of your article.

This summary will then be displayed as a preview of your article, presented for example among the results of a search or when clicking on the location of the article geolocated on a map (see below).

Add an illustrative image to your article if you wish. An image always brings a complementary appeal to your text. That’s why we recommend that you don’t neglect this point.

Enter the text of the body of your article in the box provided for this purpose. If necessary, for a better visibility, the frame can be enlarged by entering it by the bottom right corner.

Choose the geographical location of your article. This indication will allow you to position a marker on the map from which your article will be accessible.

Save your article using the “Save” button.
Your article will be published immediately after saving.

Your article is now visible in the “My articles” section of your profile.

You can edit it to make the changes you want or delete it.

Your article is now visible on the site and accessible to all users.

It is positioned as a marker located on the map at the address you mentioned.

Clicking on the location of your article displays a speech bubble with the title and a preview of the summary you have entered.

The article is fully formatted (text and illustration) and freely accessible for visitors.

If you wish you can spread the article by using the sharing buttons on social networks, or by sharing the URL of your article.

You can simply share a link to your article using the “share” button available on each page.

This allows you to easily distribute your content on social networks or by email for example, in a format automatically adapted to the chosen media.

Don’t forget to add specific keywords to your article (#…) and the keyword “#bestfindoors” when publishing on social networks to increase the reach of your publication.

An “appreciation” section is placed at the bottom of all profile pages and articles.

It allows you to leave a comment and a rating between 1 and 5.

These appreciations are important because they allow to highlight the best providers and articles.

Sharing buttons are available on the provider profile pages and on the article pages. They allow you to easily and efficiently distribute the content you have appreciated in your network, with a formatting optimized for the chosen media.

It is also possible to simply copy the URL of the page you are interested in and distribute it by email or in the publications of your choice on social networks.

Don’t forget to add keywords (#…), and in particular the keyword “#bestfindoors” to naturally increase the reach of your sharing.
