How we rank Webflow freelancers: methodology
Placeholder text 2–3 sentences: what is scored, from which public sources, and that every person is scored by the same rules.
Criteria, weights and points
| Criterion | Weight | How points are given |
|---|---|---|
| Webflow partner status | 17 | Webflow partner tier shown on the Webflow profile = 1; partner since shown without a tier label, or Webflow exams only = 0.5; not listed = 0 |
| Marketplace record | 24 | marketplace record = Upwork jobs completed + Contra hires + Webflow profile recommendations; points = ln(1 + record) / ln(101), capped at 1 (100 or more = full points) |
| Projects | 22 | count = the higher of published case studies and completed marketplace jobs (Upwork jobs + Contra hires); band 0 = 0, 1-2 = 1/3, 3-5 = 2/3, 6+ = 1 |
| Technical scope | 10 | areas backed by a case study or a listed service, out of 10 |
| Years on Webflow | 10 | years on Webflow, capped at 10; not published = 0 |
| Published price | 12 | hourly rate published = 1; project price only = 0.5; not published = 0 |
| Availability | 5 | accepting = 1; waitlist or start date = 0.5; not accepting or not stated = 0 |
From points to the 0–10 score
The weighted score is the sum of weight × points over the seven criteria, so it runs from 0 to 100. The display score maps the 10 freelancers in the main ranking linearly onto the 0–10 scale: the lowest weighted score becomes 7.50 and the highest 9.80, rounded to two decimals. People who appear only in a sub-ranking get their display score from the same line.
