Logo looks great. concept is great as well, but as a designer myself, I dont really go close to the price bidding proposal thingy unless I absolutely have to, it smells like hell there.

@rick_chen1 we are sensitive to this part of our model - so when a project gets 5 quotes the project is closed to further proposals. We charge about the same amount as a cup of fancy coffee to send a quote out - and that it - we dont take 20% of the project transaction or anything else. We found asking designers to quote on a project creates enough friction to ensure users are getting quotes from designers who align with their budget and project. If a project feels too low of a budget or has a terrible scope then dont bid it (those projects wont last long on Design Inc. anyway, projects that don't get bid on fade away). Hope this helps a bit - thanks for checking it out!

This reeks so bad of a staged posting that it's almost nauseating. You guys clearly need to work on your price points, and get aggressive with competing with other design marketplaces. It's not enough to be on the front page of Product Hunt. Your customers don't care.

@guyp hi Guy - thanks for your comment - perhaps send me a note marc@designinc.com and share a bit more detail about what you mean? I don't quite follow - thanks!

Under the tips when submitting a new project idea it reads: "State the problem your solving" should be you're* solving.

Tried to join as a designer, but I think there is some script error. Please let me know if I am wrong or when it's fixed.

@arjun_tuli hi Arjun please hit designinc.com/apply everything should be working properly

Apply form is far from ideal from a designer's perspective. No follow up email, no information about "what is next". I have filled the form and don't know, what will happen next.
