Mediafly
A $210 logo design project90 entries in 12 days
Please tell us a little about Mediafly. Mediafly is a media distribution company that delivers rich media to a broad array of internet-enabled devices including, but not limited to, the Apple iPhone and iPad, Google Android and Blackberry smart phones, and set-top TV devices. Why did you decide to use crowdSPRING? Mediafly needed a logo to help brand the business. Although we had the capability inhouse to create a new logo, we decided to post our project on crowdSPRING. We're a small company. I have programmers that have design capability, but when one of my best developers is working on a graphic design project, their resources aren't being used somewhere else. Was your crowdSPRING project successful? Yes! During our 12 day project on crowdSPRING, Mediafly received 90 custom logo designs from 20 different designers around the world. We ultimately selected the logo that you see in the video. How many other projects have you posted on crowdSPRING? Over the past year, Mediafly has posted 9 other projects on crowdSPRING. How has crowdSPRING improved your business? I don't think we would be able to operate as a rapidly growing technology company without crowdSPRING.

We were looking for a book cover that would appeal to our readers. We posted the project on crowdSPRING because the cost is certainly very reasonable and because I love the creative collaboration that results. Was your crowdSPRING project successful? There is no experience like crowdSPRING and I am now a huge fan. During our 11 day project on crowdSPRING, we received 73 cover designs from 10 different designers around the world.

Frequently asked questions
Why is web design important?
Today, businesses of all sizes, from one person start-ups to small and mid-size businesses to international conglomerates, need to have a presence on the Web. A good web site design can help a company to more effectively market its products or services to customers. Good web site design can also help individuals and businesses to promote their brands online, including on social networks such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Classmates, Bebo, hi5, LinkedIn, and others.
Why use crowdSPRING for web design?
Some of the best website designers in the world work on crowdSPRING. crowdSPRING is the world's best creative department. crowdSPRING can help you leverage an international community of website designers and eliminate your worries about the cost of web design. On crowdSPRING, thousands of designers from over 170 countries around the world compete for your business. You will get choice for your website design that you will not get anywhere else. In fact, we guarantee your satisfaction 100% – no questions asked. Our unique model and design proces addresses and solves many of the problems typically found when buying web design services. Unlike traditional marketplaces where you might look at three or four freelancers or firms, crowdSPRING is a crowdsourcing marketplace, where web designers from around the world post actual designs. You don’t need to obtain quotes in advance of the work because you set your own price. And when your project ends, you choose the one you like the best. It’s that simple!
Are there variations in web design prices?
Web design firms will have different prices for website design. It’s not uncommon to find that some larger firms charge tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars for website design. Smaller firms will have much less expensive website design prices. Freelance website designers tend to charge less and tend to have lower prices than website design firms. This is largely because freelancers typically don’t need to pay for overhead to maintain their businesses and are able to pass those savings directly to clients. However, this too varies widely. Keep in mind too that designers will often charge different prices based on their level of expertise. And, don’t forget that design prices vary widely based on geography. If you decide to engage a website design firm or a website designer, you should obtain at least three or four quotes so that you can evaluate the cost of hiring any of those firms or freelancers to help you with your website design needs. When comparing web design price and web design quotes from multiple website designers and firms, it’s important that you understand whether the designers are proposing to charge you hourly rates or flat fees. Some web design quotes propose hourly rates for website design. These quotes might seem low, but could turn out to be higher overall than other quotes that propose flat-rate website design prices. Whether you are evaluating a single quote or multiple quotes, make sure that you understand how you are being charged for the work, because even the most carefully planned and priced website design job can quickly go over budget and your website design price may increase significantly. Sometimes, a design job that is expected to last 25 hours might take 50 hours, and if you are paying by the hour, you might find that your cost is significantly more than you anticipated.
What will I need other than web design?
To build a website, you’ll need both design for the site and development of the site. Freelance web developers tend to specialize in frontend or backend work. Frontend developers tend to focus on the client side – what your users see when they visit your website. Backend developers usually focus on the interaction between the server and databases. Backend developers often work on a number of things, which include scripting to permit your users to interact with the site, web server configuration, and developing e-commerce features, such as a payment system. Good freelance web developers are skilled in multiple areas, including web design, information architecture, usability engineering, web content management systems, web server administration, database administration, software engineering, project management, network security, and search engine optimization. There are many ways to design and build a website. Some people hire a website design firm. Website design firms often provide very high quality website design work and often have on staff web developers who can code the site. They will often provide a few options for your website design that will give you some variety to choose from. On the other hand, website design firms can be very expensive and you may find that the design price is out of your budget. If you decide to engage a website design firm, you should look for at least three or four firms and obtain creative quotes so that you can evaluate the cost of hiring any of those firms to help you with your design needs. Most people find that a freelance web designer can bring the best of both worlds together -providing a high quality web design service at lower prices. The single biggest issue with utilizing a freelance web designer is finding the right one. There are many freelance web designers and picking the right freelance web designer is often a difficult task. Additionally, not all freelance web designers are capable of coding the site, even if they can design it. Hiring a freelance web designer doesn’t necessarily mean that the same person will be able to develop the site for you. If you decide to engage a freelance web site designer, you should look for at least three or four freelance web designers and ask them for detailed quotes so that you can evaluate the cost of hiring any of them. You should include in that group freelance web developers so that you understand the cost of coding the site. You should also remember to ask them for a few examples of their prior work so that you can evaluate the types of freelance websites they’ve previously designed. Pay particular attention to those freelance web designers that are able to list only one freelance website or web design in their portfolio – this suggests that they haven’t had much experience in freelance website design. You should look more carefully for designers that have multiple freelance websites in their portfolio.
