99designs is the world’s largest online graphic design marketplace. They connect more than one million talented freelance designers with creative people, genius entrepreneurs, savvy businesses… anyone who needs great work. Here are some reasons why you should consider it the next time your start-up needs some creative talent...
1
Find talented freelance designers through Design Contests.
What is a design contest? A design contest is a competition between designers to create the winning design for a client’s design brief.
Design contests are ideal for clients who don't already have a freelance or in-house designer.
Contests allow clients to see work from, and work with, many different designers at once.
3
Design contests let clients see finished designs custome-made for their company.
This is preferable to committing to work with a designer based on their past work for other companies.
4
Design contests are quick.
The average contest lasts for one week, at the end of which time the client - that's you! - walks away with a finished design that’s ready to use.
5
Design contests are cost effective.
You choose the contest prize you want to pay, and know that designers will create designs for that price — there’s no going over budget here!
6
If you aren't satisfied, 99designs offers a 100% money back guarantee.
They offer a 100% money-back guarantee within 60 days of payment on all contests except those with a guaranteed prize or those that have entered the Final round, since once you enter the Final round, your contest automatically becomes guaranteed.
7
After your contest is complete, you can continue to work with your winning designer.
Even after your contest is complete, you can continue working with your winning designer, or any of your finalists, on other projects. 99designs makes this easy with our 1-to-1 Invoicing system.

If design contests are not your thing, you can post 1-to-1 projects.
1-to-1 Projects is a streamlined, secure way to collaborate with individual designers on private projects. It's an online workspace where you can view designs, provide feedback, store files, and receive and pay invoices for your design projects.
