After taking on established design crowdsourcing marketplaces such as 99designs and designcrowd for the past few years, one of the world’s leading graphic design marketplaces, Designhill, recently announced that it is entering the design freelancing space with the launch of its new ‘Custom Services [http://www.Designhill.Com ]’ available to a curated set of graphic designers registered on the platform. With this launch, the company aims to directly take on players such as Fiverr, Freelancer and Upwork in the design freelancing space with this new vertical.

It is a one-of-its-kind feature that enables designers to pre-define design jobs that they plan to offer customers on the platform. In simpler terms, graphic designers will now be able to determine what they are going to create, at what price and within what timeframe.

Custom Services is an innovative feature that will allow graphic designers to decide what they are going to do, their fees and the time period. It is just another way to help designers earn more and provide clients with another option to hire the top freelance designers

According to him, “The decision to enter the design freelancing space or the ‘Design Gigs’ space with the launch of its ‘Custom Services’ is a strategic one, as the company wanted to create a stronghold in the design crowdsourcing space first while also creating a highly curated community of 38,000+ graphic designers.”

While all of the incumbent players provide an array of services including writing, development, marketing and design, Designhill is the only platform that is design-only focused and this fact according to Aggarwal is not only a major differentiator but also a game changer.

One of the major differentiators, according to Aggarwal, is that Designhill has been built specifically to suit design collaboration and handover. Custom-built tools, such as ‘annotation’, are unique to Designhill and allow for seamless communication between clients and designers, whereas on other platforms the lack of such tools makes it extremely difficult for clients to communicate with designers.

After achieving great success in the online design crowdsourcing space, Designhill is expected to dominate the online graphic design space globally.
