99designs

99designs is a global creative platform that connects businesses with freelance graphic designers, offering services such as logo design, website design, branding, packaging design, and more. Founded in 2008, 99designs has become one of the largest design marketplaces in the world, with over one million registered designers and a client base of more than 500,000 businesses. The platform operates on a contest-based model, where clients launch a design project with a specific brief and budget, and designers from around the world submit their designs for consideration. The client then selects a winning design and pays the designer a prize for their work. In addition to contests, 99designs also offers 1-to-1 Projects, where clients can work directly with a designer of their choice. 99designs' mission is to democratize design by making it accessible to businesses of all sizes and budgets, while also providing a platform for talented designers to showcase their work and build their careers. The platform also offers resources and tools to help clients and designers communicate effectively, such as messaging and collaboration tools, as well as educational content on design best practices and industry trends.
