Very valuable points, thanks!
Although it's not yet possible to search an exact price range, its possible to search for all jobs matching a certain criteria with a price >= X.
For example, if you wanted to look for all banner designing jobs worth, say $500+, you could search the following:
+banner +design minbudget:500
I hadn't though about the job creator until you mentioned it :) Will work on adding some info about them.
I really see what you mean with Krop.com and sidestep.com. It's a big challenge, fitting in a lot of data in a meaningful way without overwhelming the user.
You've given me a few good leads. I really appreciate it. Thanks!
EDIT: Sorry, this is the correct query: +banner +design minbudget:500
Suggestions:
Would be cool if there were more options like, specifying a price range.
I'd also prefer more results per page instead of just five. I also think the results could be designed a little bit more... like having a little more leading and tweak the positioning of the meta-data so that it's a bit more readable.
I'd also prefer some information on the job creator.
I love Krop.com because it allows me to scan job titles, company, and location. I don't bring this up to copy them but rather to show how easy it is to scan. Same goes with sidestep.com results: many different types of data in one result but designed with care to scannability and a clear hierarchy.
