I'm not being cynical, but are they purposefully holding back some of the more important details on the "How it works" on http://www.tweaky.com/ http://www.tweaky.com/ I can't actually find the details on this. Is this an offline service, or are you expected to provide access to your development server? This is what I think it would say (which would scare the hell out of me)... 1. Submit your brief 2. We assign each task a $25 charge. 3. You pick a developer. 4. You provide FTP details to your live production server

I think it is mostly revolving around fixing CSS or markup so you don't have to provide anything really, besides the link to live version. That is limiting though, I imagine I would think twice before sending either credentials for production server or entire source or something.

There are many people who won't care about providing a designer with production server credentials. I'm guessing it's probably the same people who are looking for $25 tweaks. In fact, those same people would probably see it as a perk to the service that the designer implements the code for you. The "safety" probably comes from them being hand-picked. For those that care, they could make the CSS changes and image uploads themselves.

Currently online. Having talked to the tweaky guys last week -- they are aware of the potential concern -- have some mitigations (encryption/etc) in place -- don't feel that it's a massive concern of the target market -- and have prototypes of more detailed technical solutions. In short -- smart guys - and they have a strategy to deal with it if the market says that random developer access to prod is bad. (And I think the market for $25 tweaks is probably ok with that anyway)
