Money is always explained
The project card splits the budget into paid, in escrow and not funded yet. The three rows add up to the total, and the escrow row has an info tooltip.
Case study
Freelance marketplace
Messages, milestones and escrow payments for hiring designers
Overview
Veyra is a concept for a freelance marketplace where clients hire designers and pay per milestone. I designed the part where most projects go wrong: the conversation. The chat, the milestone under review and the money held in escrow sit on one screen, so a client can read the update, check what changed and approve the payment without leaving the thread.
Key decisions
One primary action
Approve and pay is the only filled button on the screen. Everything else is a quiet secondary control.
Trust is earned, not claimed
The trust score only counts work paid through the platform, and the panel says so.
