99designs Description
99designs is a creative platform founded in Australia in 2008 and now part of Vista. Businesses get custom design work from a global community of freelance designers, covering logos, brand identities, websites, packaging, book covers, illustrations, merchandise and more. Clients can run a design contest, where many designers submit ideas based on a brief and the client chooses a winner, or hire a specific designer directly for a one-to-one project. Packages for contests come at several price levels, and the platform handles payment and transfers full copyright to the client. Designers are vetted and rated, and a money-back guarantee applies to many contests. For affiliates, 99designs suits startup and small business content, branding guides and freelancer resources. The official programme pays uncapped commissions for each new customer.
