  • Hire a Designer FAQ

    1. Can I post a project if I am just looking for pricing and am not ready to start?

    2. No. Because designers are paying for this information, they are expecting a project that is ready to begin so they can recoup their investment in purchasing your lead. If you are only looking for pricing and not sure if you are going to start your project, you must clearly and explicitly state that at the top of your description, but chances are you will not get many responses.

    3. I have no idea what my budget should be, can you help?

    4. Depending on the expertise and experience of the provider, and the complexity of your project, cost can be difficult to determine. The cost to design a website or design a log can vary dramatically from one designer to another. Here are some basic guidelines that should help. You can also click live help or speak to a DesignQuote representative for recommended budgets.

    11. How do I remove a job I posted?

    12. If the job is closed, go to your Client home page, and in your job listing you will see a 'close project' button next to each job you have listed. Hit the 'close project' button for the job you wish to close. Then you will be asked a few questions about the project, including who you chose for the job or why you closed the job. A few weeks alter you will receive a feedback request so you can rate the provider you hired.


    13. How does Design Quote differ from other project sites?

    14. Unlike other websites that charge clients for adding projects, it is absolutely free to post a project on Design Quote. Freelancers or companies interested in your project will compete to earn your business. Instead of designers posting bids and trying to undercut each other, you will receive only quality quotes and be able to communicate directly with the provider. Because the providers are paying for your lead, you get bids from high quality service providers who are serious about their work. After comparing bids from a number of providers, you decide who you would most like to work with. You can keep in contact with the other providers, just in case you have more work in the future.
