Chose a particular designer's Logo and Business card offer. However a designcrowd 'software' glitch posted it to the designer as a 'Wix design project'! The designer justifiably rejected it, but I rec... See more

They took 200% auto payment despite not advising me this is a reoccurring payment annually, also I originally paid £36.00 and they have taken £72.00. Do not use this company, fraudsters.

Poor designer support

Hello DesignCrowd Team,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my serious concern regarding the status of my submissions. I have been consistently submitting design concepts for various projects on your platform for a significant period, but all my designs are still stuck under review.
Could you please clarify why my submissions are taking this long to be reviewed? Furthermore, I would appreciate it if you could notify me via email regarding the status of my designs—whether they are selected or rejected—so I can plan my work accordingly.
Please note that if this lack of support and delayed review process continues, I will be forced to reconsider my active participation on your platform and share my experience with other designers.
Please solve my problem as quick as you can so that I can continue my work and can be able to start earning.
I look forward to your prompt response and clarification on this matter.
Best regards,
Yasmeen Tahira

Account closed

Rejected my designs and closed my account. Reason given was that my designs were blurry or pixelated, which was not the case.

We used design crowd to get creative ideas for our own internal design team but we offered a guaranteed payment and believe it is only fair to do so.

We received almost 400 design entries for around £300 so it’s amazing value but important that at least one of the designers gets paid something for their work.

We’d like to see an option to split the main prize as sometimes it’s hard to pick a winner.

This site is a joke.

This site is a joke.
From day1 I had an issue with my login.
I am in the UK, so need to use the uk site, but their system sends out all the emails with links to the .com site.

my login will only work on the .com site unless I do a password reset every single day, then it will work briefly, and then stop working again.

I tried to explain this to support so many times but they are utter incompetent morons and just couldn't grasp it. All they do is tell you to reset your password, over and over and over and over and over again.

And when you can us ethe site, it is ab absolute joke when it comes to website design jobs. It complete misleads clients about the requirements and what they will get.
Web design requires discussion and communication, but you are not allowed to talk to the client.
So they just have to choose one of the designs and accept it.
Most of the time this is just a design and not a complete website, so they still then have to pay someone to build the site.

Even if they do get a website, then they'll have to pay someone else to modify it to their requirements, install it and get it working.
Very rare the client has any clue what they need, so will end up paying 2-3 times.

Being a technophobe I didn't trust the process, especially paying upfront to get the designs but I was unbelievably happy with how many designs I received (72), the quality of so many of them, the brilliant communication from all designers I interacted with and also the communication speed and descriptiveness from the design crowd team when I messaged them twice with a couple of queries about how things work and in what order.
Highly recommend!
I will be using this website again for future projects.

I went into the competition process…

I went into the competition process unsure of what to expect. I have just come out with a logo which is better than I hoped for at the outset. I am astounded with the quality of designers who took time to submit a logo and I could not have replicated the results for anywhere near the same low cost that I found here. The 50+ designers and over 50 designs package was worth every penny of the investment and I will be using them for any future projects too.

Also amazing that now I know some great designers, I can invite them to my next project immediately. Great service, both with the designers and the customer support team.

I liked this experience

I liked this concept. I would have chosen 5 stars had the cost not being so high to upgrade to include more designers. That said, when my brief was clear to the right designer it was a blast. This site has a thumbs up from me.
