Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic, computer implemented portal among service providers and service seekers. The system and methods allow the service seeker to post an electronic submission for services or the service provider to post an electronic submission for services to be provided. The system provides a non-negotiable functionality, which allows parties to instantly contract. In one variation, the service seeker may create a sufficiently detailed submission which can be answered by a service provider. In a second variation, the service provider may create a sufficiently detailed submission to perform services, which can be answered with a non-negotiable, binding legal acceptance from a service seeker. The system also provides a negotiable functionality, in which parties can negotiate aspects of the offer.
