I need tailor-made learning.

Words of Comfort:

We may not know how to use a ruler or how cars go, but dang it, we know how to make learning that doesn't suck. Nothing matters more to us than understanding your problems so we can find the right set of solutions. If we don't have a direct solution to your problem, we can bring in the minds that do.

Where We Come In:

We've got your back from kickoff to the final high-fives. From assembling the perfect team of super-skilled freelancers tailored to your project's needs to overseeing every milestone and ensuring timely delivery, we've got it covered.


Our journey with you begins with a preliminary analysis, diving deep into your needs and wants. Next, we hit the drawing board, ideating and crafting an outline for success. Then, it's script time – turning your ideas into non-boring narratives. With storyboards in hand, we visualize the whole shebang before it actually happens.

Why You Should Pick Us:

We've created tailor-made learning for a buncha' Fortune 500 companies. They cover every industry you can think of and even some we didn't know existed - restaurant and hospitality industries, financial literacy non-profits, major internet communication platforms, clinical social outreach programs, higher ed, major ad agencies, and the food industries— each with their own unique needs, timeline, and budget.

I need to update an existing course.

Words of Comfort:

Made-from-scratch isn't necessarily better. Take boxed brownies, for example. Throw in some extra chocolate and sprinkle with salt-- and baby, you've got totally new brownies!

Where We Come In:

Got an old-school ILT that needs an eLearning twist? We're on it. Want to jazz up the content or add some interactive razzle dazzle? Consider it done. Whether it's a mobile makeover or a multimedia mashup, we've got the skills to remix your courses and make learning as cool as we are. And that's pretty cool. Our Mom says so.


We're here to ensure your courses evolve over time, growing and changing with your needs. It's all about future-proofing your learning so you get more bang for your buck!

Why You Should Pick Us:

When it comes to remixing your courses, our team is armed with an arsenal of diverse skills and niches, ready to tackle any learning challenge you throw at them. Though, we don't recommend throwing things at them. They're not athletes, ok?!


We also have strategic partnerships that give us access to the absolute best platforms and tools. That being said, it's not a one-size-fits-all approach. We're all about putting our clients first, not technology. If a tech doesn't fit your needs, nobody's gonna push it on you in a weird, uncomfortable way.

Featuring all these hot tracks and more!

I need translation services.

Words of Comfort:

You may feel overwhelmed by the idea of translating an entire course into another language. But remember this: love is the universal language. And we have plenty to go around. Hug?

Where We Come In:

Partnering with trusted localization aficionados, we can adapt your learning materials to diverse audiences worldwide. Leave it to us to ensure your courses are both linguistically accurate and culturally relevant.


Your content should speak volumes in every language. That's why we're sticklers for eagle-eyed proofreading, editing, and multiple reviews to ensure your message is crystal clear, consistent, and fluently expressed. We believe that learning should never lose its spark due to language barriers; that's why we do our darndest to ensure humor, empathy, and nuanced expressions are retained in all of our translations.

Why You Should Pick Us:

We're the right people for the job because, well, we're everywhere. Don't worry- not in a creepy way. We're not in your basement right now or anything. Ha ha ha ha.


Our community of freelancers extends to every corner of the globe. They're cultural connoisseurs intimately familiar with the customs and people of their regions, making sure your message shines with authenticity. With IDLance, it's not just about translations; it's about forging genuine connections across languages and cultures!

I'm on a tight L&D budget.

Words of Comfort:

You know who else was on a tight budget? Those Grandparents from Willy Wonka! They turned out fine. That big ol' bed situation looked pretty cozy, though. Let us be your golden ticket, Grandpa Joe!

Where We Come In:

We'll conduct a needs assessment to determine where you need help the most, keeping your budget in mind. Then, we'll come up with some clever, budget-friendly solutions to tackle those urgent learning needs.


Once we've developed a plan that fits your budget, we'll provide the support you need to get things rolling. And hey, we're not going anywhere – we'll stay to ensure everything runs smoothly and offer a helping hand whenever you need it.

Why You Should Pick Us:

Listen, we know the deal. Most L&D Departments are woefully under-resourced and underfunded. We've been in this industry long enough to understand how exhausting cutbacks, budget constraints, and the constant juggling act of making ends meet are. That being said, we're firm believers in delivering cost-effective, still totally fun, efficient solutions for your organization no matter what you're working with on the money side of things.


We're not here to sell you some flashy, overpriced solution either. We're gonna roll up our sleeves, get creative, and find wallet-friendly ways to tackle the problems keeping you up at night. (The L&D ones, that is.)

I need help planning.

Words of Comfort:

You know what they say about the best-laid plans. Oh no, now we're thinking about "Of Mice and Men." Dang, that book's sad. The movie, too. You should be comforting us, to be honest.

Where We Come In:

Sometimes, ya just gotta plan. We take a laid-back yet strategic approach to ensure your training initiatives hit the mark and align with your organization's goals. Whether you're looking to revamp your training programs, develop a new learning strategy, or enhance your talent development initiatives, we're here to brainstorm and lend a hand.

Why You Should Pick Us:

I have a deadline creepin' up real fast.

Words of Comfort:

Whoever came up with the term "deadline" is a real goober. Like, it's not that serious, dude. Let's call it a "grand finale" instead. Yeah, that's better.

Where We Come In:

If you're facing a tight turnaround time, don't lose hope! Our rapid response process kicks into high gear when time is running short. We'll quickly but thoroughly check your project needs, goals, and timeline. Then, our team of timelords gets cracking on a flexible plan of action, making sure we're using our resources wisely.


Our QA process ensures that everything's up to snuff. And when it comes to hitting those deadlines, you can count on us to deliver on time, every time. Whether you've got a last-minute product launch, a sudden training need, or anything else urgent, we've got your back in this and every other multiverse.

Why You Should Pick Us:

If there's one thing freelancers know a heck of a lot about, it's time management. Have you ever seen a freelancer take care of their child, attend a client meeting, plan their day, drink a cup of coffee, and create an entire storyboard in their head simultaneously? We have. It's pretty wild!


IDLancers know how to make every second count. We know how to stretch resources, think on our feet, and make sh*t work. We work smarter and faster because we have a unique relationship with time that you won't find anywhere else. Many of us ditched our 9-5's so we could make better use of it. We're guardians of our time, and that respect extends to yours too!

Aw, shucks! Now we're blushing.

Time's tickin'! Click here to schedule a call with our Director of Client and Community Engagement, Craig McMichael. He time travels on the weekends. The butterfly effect is starting to get to him, but he's mostly still human. Mostly.

Aw, shucks! Now we're blushing.

I'm totally bored, and so are my learners.

Words of Comfort:

Everyone gets a little bored sometimes, but that doesn't mean you'll always be bored! Just look at those dudes from "Fight Club." They found something fun to do! Or did they? Were they real? That movie is confusing. We have a lot of questions.

Where We Come In:

Has your love for learning gone cold? Are you overwhelmed by the constant changes in our industry? We get it. Life gets chaotic, and the thrill of learning suddenly takes a backseat to resourcing, trend tracking, budgeting, and bureaucracy.


But fear not- IDLance is here to warm things up! Let us take care of all the nonsense so you can focus on what really matters: falling back in love with learning and development.

Why You Should Pick Us:

We're dedicated to injecting life back into your learning! Our approach is simple: we prioritize your needs above all else. We firmly believe that L&D is the coolest gig around and should be treated as such! Learning should never be an afterthought—it should be an experience. While we take pride in being problem-solvers, our ultimate goal is transforming your learning into an engaging, fun, and enriching experience.


We take our work seriously, but we're not afraid to admit that we're all kinda goofy. Shocking, right? IDLance, as a brand, isn't the brainchild of some evil marketing genius. It's just who we are. This is literally the only way we know how to be! We're committed to bringing that same authenticity to your projects, too. It definitely won't be boring. It's also not gonna be THAT exciting. We're homebodies and love a good routine. Just right.

I'm just a freelancer looking for a home.

They say home is where the heart is, but we say home is where your favorite block of cheese is. Technically, if you carry around a nice wedge of Havarti, you'll always be home! Home rules.

My problem isn't listed here. How dare you.

Words of Comfort:
