99designs.com
SitePoint launched 99designs (www.99designs.com) in 2008 with the goal of connecting passionate designers from around the globe with clients who need design projects completed in a timely fashion.
This gives clients a new option of having design work completed without the usual risk or cost associated with professional design. 99designs is based on a crowd-sourcing model, allowing clients to tap into a global community of designers who are all itching to pitch their best designs in response to a client brief that catches their eye and imagination.
For designers, 99designs provides a friendly, professional, and secure environment where people from all walks of life can compete on a level playing field. It gives designers a truly global stage to show off their work, improve their skills, communicate with peers, and win real prize money. Within 12 months of launch, 99designs has already enjoyed immense success and overwhelming adoption from the design community, as illustrated through the following statistics:
