Introduction

As a part of this revamp, some other changes will be introduced: The concept of multiple profiles per freelancer account will be replaced with a the account having a single profile New membership plans at the account level (replaces the current model) Introduction of user defined services that are defined as a part of their profile; this change has an impact on the Search functionality which will be addressed independently.

Actions taken are: o Validate when the user moves out of such a field; if no input has been provided display an error
