FAQs
Projects run for 7 days, but you can shorten them to as little as 1 day if you're in a hurry. Many entries come in the last few days of a project, and we encourage you to wait until the project ends before picking your favorite (tell us if you want to close the project early). You can extend your project for free, up to 7 more days if you need more time.
Website design packages start at $899. All packages include the award to the designer and crowdspring's fee, a custom legal contract giving you full rights to the work you're buying, free focus groups, our award-winning customer support, tools and platform. You can select packages and features based on what you need and your budget. You will always know up front exactly what you'll pay, with no hidden costs and no surprises.
Absolutely! Every project on crowdspring is protected by a custom legal contract giving you full rights to the work you're buying. If you have multiple awards, you'll have separate contracts for each. Once the contract is signed and the creative is paid after you approve the final deliverables in your project, you can use the website design any way you like. You can change it or alter it in any way – it's yours.
The non-winning work remains the property of the person who created that work. This means you may not use those other designs (or any portions of them) in any way. But we give you an easy way to add awards and make offers in your projects when you find more than one website design you love.
"I loved working with crowdspring! It was so exciting to watch your project pick up steam as you gave feedback to the creatives. It felt very collaborative and you have so many creative people submitting ideas just for your project. Their system is organized, easy to use and understand. I am so happy with the results!"

FAQs
You'll see dozens of designs from multiple designers. The more active you are in the project, the more designs you will get. We'll let you know every time a new design or comment comes in and invite you to give feedback. The more feedback you provide, the more designs you'll receive. Years of experience show us that projects with active clients will receive more than double the designs compared to projects with low client participation.
Absolutely! In fact, this is a key factor for success. Once the designs start rolling in, let the designers know what you think about their designs. You can score and give individual feedback. You can also update your brief if you want to address all participants in your project. They are happy to make changes and iterate on their designs.
When you score each entry (1 to 5 stars), your score and comments are private. Only you and the individual designer will see the star rating and comments on their design. Updates to your brief are public for all participants in the project.
Like more than one website design? It happens all the time. You can start your project with multiple awards or add awards at any time during your project. You can also make offers on additional designs after your project has been awarded.
"In 10 years I have launched 17 projects on crowdspring and have always been impressed. Crowdspring brings 10 maybe even 100 times more creativity than simply working with a single random creative I could have found outside of crowdspring where I might only see a couple different concepts. And the price is very affordable."

FAQs for step 3
You have seven days to select your favorite after the project closes. Sometimes, you might need an extra few days. Just let us know when that happens.
Before making the final decision, you may want to run a free focus group. All silver packages in design projects include one free focus group ($29 upgrade to unlimited). All other design packages include unlimited focus groups.
A focus group (also called a "poll") allows you to invite friends, customers, colleagues and anyone else to vote and comment on their favorite designs (you can assign weighted votes or let each vote count equally). Anyone is eligible to vote as long as they have the special voting URL we'll provide to you (they will not need to register an account). Your focus group can be public or private - you choose! You fully control whom you invite to each focus group and what designs are included in each focus group.
In website design projects, you'll have a private area to complete the project with the designer you chose. If you have more than one award, you'll have a separate wrap-up with each designer. Each of you will sign the legal contract for the project (giving you full rights once the designer is paid).
You can continue to iterate and request changes in wrap-up to make sure the design is just right. Once you approve the proof files, the designer will create and send final files for your approval. Once you approve the final files, we pay the designer and you own full rights to the work.
For each project category, we'll recommend required file types and will ask the winning designer to provide you with appropriate final files. You can always request specific formats you or your printer require.
"I just finished my 2nd of 3 projects with crowdspring. The first was an incredible book cover. This new project was artwork for a wooded token. I have a 3rd project on going for the development of a logo for graphic for my wife's jewelry business. I'll summarize - Don't waste your time at other sites - just come to crowdspring.com. The experience, the talent and the result will only make your life easier."

The creative power of crowdspring is unmatched anywere.
Crowdspring is the first stop for any aspiring entrepreneur, whether bootstrapped or VC-backed. The creative power of the their crowd is unmatched anywhere.
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. The most successful companies know there are compelling reasons to prioritize their website's design to improve the odds of their success.
Good design creates meaningful first impressions, helps differentiate you from your competitors, solves problems, boosts brand awareness and your bottom line. Good web site design can help individuals and businesses to promote their brands online, including on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and others.
Poorly designed websites are not read, trusted or visited for any length of time. That means that more than ever, design is playing a crucial role in making sure your business attracts and retains a customer base.
You need both design and development for your site. Frontend developers focus on code that runs in the user's browser, like HTML and CSS. Backend developers focus on code that runs on the web server. This can include databases and other complex systems like ecommerce integration.
There are many ways to design and build a website. Some people hire a website design firm. Website design firms can provide very high quality website design work. They usually have web developers on staff who provide development services. But website design firms can be very expensive and you may find that the design price is out of your budget. If you decide to hire a website firm, get creative quotes from three or four dfferent ones. You can compare the cost of hiring each firm with the services they provide.
Most people find that a freelance web designer can bring the best of both worlds together. They can provide a high quality web design service at lower prices. One big challenge with hiring freelance web designers is finding the right one. There are many out there and picking the right one is often a difficult task. Another thing to keep in mind is not all freelance designers are capable of coding the sites they design.
If you decide to hire a freelancer, use similar strategies used to hire a firm and talk to more than one candidate. Get detailed quotes so that you can see the cost of hiring any of them. You should also talk to web developers so you can get a sense of how much development might cost.
Don't forget to ask them for a few examples of their work. You want to see the different types of websites they’ve designed. Watch for designers that only have one website or design in their portfolio. This suggests that they don't have a lot of experience. Finding designers with a more robust portfolio is definitely a good idea.
Some of the best website designers in the world work on crowdspring. crowdspring is home to the world's best creative department.
Unlike the traditional freelancer or agency market, crowdspring is a crowdsourcing marketplace. 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 process addresses many of the concerns encountered when pricing web design. We take a lot of the work and stress out of the equation for you: you won't need to get quotes in advance for the work, or interview designer after designer.
Your set the price for your project, and web designers from around the world will post their designs to your project for you to review. When your project ends, you choose the design you like the best. It’s that simple!
Web design firms have different prices. It’s not unusual to find larger firms that charge tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Smaller firms usually have lower prices, but this can vary on the experience level of the firm. Freelance website designers usually charge less than firms. This can be because freelancers don’t have as much overhead to pay for as larger firms.
Keep in mind that designers prices vary with their skill level and experience. Design prices also can vary based on geography. As we've already noted, getting more than one quote from three or four vendors is a good strategy.
Price estimates are usually calculated two different ways: either on an hourly basis or as a set fee. Whether you get one or many quotes, make sure that you understand how you are being charged for the work. Even well-planned website designs can go over budget for unforeseen reasons.
Also keep in mind the price firms and designers give you are almost always estimates. They give you a price based on the information you provide at the start of the project. As the project progresses things can change, plans can evolve, and the work required can grow.
crowdspring offers a great solution for the potential uncertainty of what the cost for your web design will be. We let you set the budget ahead of time, and the cost you decide on is the cost it'll be. Designers that submit web design entries to your project understand what your budget is ahead of time, and submit to your project accordingly. You'll never be surprised about how much the final cost will be!
Crowdspring guarantees your satisfaction in website design projects. There's NO fine-print. We are not happy until you are. People are so thrilled with the designs they receive on crowdspring that we are proud to stand behind the work and make you an unconditional promise.
