Getting started

What is Workframe?

Workframe is where Zambian creatives put their work online and run their creative business: a portfolio with your own link, case studies, a profile clients can find, and (on Pro) quotes, invoices, receipts and contracts. Hirers use it to find creatives and post jobs.

Is it free?

Yes to start. You can publish up to 5 projects on a free account for as long as you like, with no credit card. New accounts also get 60 days of Pro free. After that you stay on Free unless you choose Pro (K55 per month).

How do I get my portfolio online?

Sign up as a creative, finish the short setup (your name, a username and what you do), then add your first project with a cover picture and a short story. Your portfolio has its own link, shown on your profile, that you can share anywhere.

Who can see my work?

Your profile and the projects you publish are public: anyone can see them, signed in or not. Your invoices, quotes, contracts and client files are private to you unless you choose to send someone a link.

Posting your work

What can I upload?

Pictures (JPG, PNG or WebP) and short videos up to 5 MB, or a link to a YouTube or Vimeo video. Pictures are shrunk automatically so they load quickly for visitors on slower connections.

My cover video is slow to start.

Videos need more data than pictures, so on a weak connection they take longer. A short, small video loads fastest. For longer films, paste a YouTube or Vimeo link instead of uploading.

How do I change or remove a project?

Open the project, then choose Edit to change it or Delete to remove it. Deleting a project also removes its pictures from Workframe.

Why can't I add more projects?

A free account can publish up to 5 projects. Your published work stays online; to add more, move to Pro, which has no limit.

Jobs, hiring and messages

How do clients find me?

Through Explore (the latest work), the talent directory (every creative with a finished profile is listed, on any plan), your link, and the contact buttons on your profile. Keep your profile fresh and your best work first.

How do I hire a creative or post a job?

Sign up as a hirer (it is free). Browse creatives and send a message or collaboration request, or post a job: describe what you need, and creatives can apply. You can have up to 5 open jobs at a time.

Someone is bothering me. What can I do?

Use the Report option on their profile, project, comment or message, or block them so they can't message you. Our team reviews every report. You can also write to us at the address below.

Plans and payments

How do I pay for Pro?

Open the Upgrade page, choose Pro and how often to pay (every month, every 6 months or every year; the longer ones cost less). We arrange payment with you by mobile money and switch your plan on once it arrives. You get a receipt by email. Pro is K55 per month.

Does it renew by itself?

No. Nothing renews automatically. Your plan runs until the end of the period you paid for, then your account returns to Free (and keeps everything you made) unless you pay again.

Can I get a refund?

Fees already paid are not refunded unless the law requires it or we agree otherwise. If something went wrong with a payment, write to us and we will look at it properly.

I paid but my plan has not changed.

Write to support@workframe.co.zm with the name on your account and the mobile money reference of the payment. We record it as soon as we see it and send your receipt.

Your account and privacy

I did not get my confirmation email.

Check your spam or junk folder first. The page that says Check your email lets you ask for it to be sent again. If it still does not arrive, write to us and we will help you in.

How do I change my email or password?

Open Account from the menu in the top right. You can change your email and password there (you will be asked to confirm with your current password).

Can I download or delete my data?

Yes, both. In Account, choose Download your data for a copy of what Workframe holds about you, or Delete account to remove your account and everything on it. Deleting is permanent.

How do I stop emails from Workframe?

In Account you can switch off the emails about requests and applications, and the occasional news and offers. Offers emails also have an unsubscribe link. Emails about your own account, such as a plan about to end, still arrive.

Still stuck? Write to support@workframe.co.zm. Tell us the email on your account and what you were trying to do, and we will come back to you. For anything about your personal information, write to privacy@workframe.co.zm.
