Hey There, Skilljar!

We're IDLance and we'd love to get to know ya! Just don't ask us to open any jars. No upper body strength.

Give Us a Buzz!

We're IDLance

If it helps people learn, we make it.

IDLance is an Agency+ and instructional design vendor!

We help companies design and build high-impact training. That includes fun stuff like online courses, videos, workshops, toolkits, and more.

Our community includes 1,500+ freelance professionals across instructional design, development, strategy, project management, and more.

We believe great learning should be agile, human-centered, and genuinely useful. Like Skilljar, we’re focused on helping organizations deliver learning that drives actual outcomes, without getting buried in complexity or bureaucracy.

Our Workflow

We keep it simple, flexible, and collaborative.

There is no "normal" project at IDLance. We've partnered with clients like Zoom, HP, Etsy, and General Electric—each with their own needs. Every project is a beautiful, one-of-a-kind snowflake (aw!), and we treat them that way.

That said, most projects follow a familiar rhythm. Here’s what it usually looks like:

Here’s what it usually looks like:

Discovery & Scoping

We start with a quick call to understand our client's goals, audience, and tech stack.

Team Assembly

We handpick the right freelancers and a designated project manager from our vetted network.

Kickoff & Planning

Together with our client, we align on timelines, roles, deliverables, and communication preferences.

Design & Build

Our team gets to work—storyboarding, scripting, developing, or whatever our client needs!

QA & Delivery

We build in alpha, beta, and final rounds to keep feedback clear, streamlined, and manageable.

Optional Ongoing Support

Need content updates, a new module next quarter, or retainer services? We’re happy to stick around.

Staffing

We match people to people, not people to projects.

We’re not operating a giant claw machine, randomly dropping names onto projects and hoping for the best, even though that sounds really fun. We know who’s a wizard with Parta.io and who can wrangle stakeholders. By choosing IDLance, clients help freelancers grow their business, chase their dreams, and do work that actually excites them.

You can also count on us to stick around. We’re not a “set it and forget it” kind of partner. We stay in the loop to make sure things are running smoothly and your freelance team is supported every step of the way.

Pricing Models

What you need, when you need it—and none of what you don’t.

Every client is different, so we build pricing that fits the actual work. We price fairly for the quality, experience, and speed we bring to the table. You’re getting vetted professionals, strong project management, and work that actually gets done right.

We typically work in one of two ways:

Project-Based Pricing

  • You bring us a scoped project (or we help you scope it), and we give you a flat rate.

  • Best for one-off needs like a course, toolkit, or video series

  • Clear timeline, deliverables, and pricing up front

  • Scales well for small or large builds, depending on your timeline and budget

  • We manage the creative team and keep things moving smoothly

Retainer-Based Pricing

  • Our IDLance+ Retainer services are crafted for clients who want flexible, ongoing support without re-scoping every time.

  • Choose from 240 or 520 hours over 13 weeks

  • Ideal for evolving needs or multiple projects

  • Hours can be used across our full range of services—strategy, design, dev, PM, and more

  • Includes a dedicated team and project lead to keep everything aligned and on track

Partnership

We connect the dots between platform, content, and learner experience.

We see a big opportunity in the combined power of Skilljar and Parta! But we'd also settle for "just friends."

Below are five ways we could meaningfully contribute to what you're building. We'd basically be the creative extension of your platforms: fast-moving, scalable, and ready to help teams build non-boring learning experiences.

We become the go-to team for:

  • Designing and developing high-quality, Skilljar-ready content inside Parta

  • Modernizing existing training into interactive, on-brand Parta modules

  • Supporting customer education teams at companies like Snowflake, Zendesk, and LinkedIn

Manage migration of content by:

  • Refreshing legacy content already hosted in Skilljar

  • Rebuilding static or PDF-based materials as Parta-powered interactive courses

  • Ensuring migration includes accessibility, visual consistency, and localization support

Be featured as an ecosystem partner by:

  • Pursuing a certified content partner badge (jointly promoted by Parta and Skilljar)

  • Contributing case studies or blog content demonstrating real-world impact

  • Co-hosting webinars with the Parta and/or Gainsight team to attract new enterprise leads

Provide training & coaching services by:

  • Training Skilljar client teams to use Parta effectively

  • Coaching SMEs or internal content owners on how to scale programs

  • Supporting admins or customer education leads with maintenance and updates

Develop “Fast Start” Customer Education bundles by offering:

  • 3 professionally built courses + 1 custom template, ready to deploy to Skilljar

  • Optional template packs for specific industries (e.g., SaaS onboarding, compliance, healthcare)

  • Content audit and redesign recommendations as a value-add
