Dribbble: hire a designer or buy a design package from $150

Dribbble started in 2009 as an invite-only place for designers to share work in progress, and it's now one of the biggest places to find and hire them. Businesses can browse portfolios and message designers directly, post a Project Brief to get proposals, or buy a ready-made service at a fixed price, from a logo or an illustration to a full website. Dribbble holds your payment until the project is complete, and prices are in US dollars.

It suits startups, small businesses and marketing teams who need design work done without hiring someone full time, and companies looking to hire designers for permanent roles.

There are three ways to hire. You can browse designer profiles and message people directly, post a Project Brief describing what you need and let designers send proposals, or buy a pre-packaged service at a fixed price. Services can be filtered by category (logo and branding, web design, illustration, product design, animation, typography and print), by price and by delivery time, and you can choose to see only Pro designers or agencies.

What's worth a look

Here are six services from the marketplace at a range of budgets, each sold by an independent designer or studio. Prices were set by the sellers when we checked.

At the low end, Custom Vector Illustration from Getillustrations is $150, a reasonable way to try the platform. If your site needs a refresh, Website Revamp and Build from Awe Design Studio is $500. At the higher end, agencies list full website and app builds from several thousand dollars.

To hire for a permanent role, posting a job costs $150 a month with no placement fees, and the $300-a-month Hiring Suite adds pinned listings and highlighted messages. Both can be cancelled at any time.
