Hi friends. After maintaining a low key for sometime now, we are making a gala return with some very exciting and new features at shopfordesigns. We have made the website more attractive even for people who are not graphic or designing professionals. Even they can make money by referring friends and family to our website. Here is how :-

The affiliate program is simple. The first thing to do is sign up as an affiliate with us. Once you have registered as an affiliate with us, you will be given an affiliate code. An example affiliate code might look like this “SFDAF00008”. If you are referring project buyer to our site, give them your affiliate code and they can put that code in the project registration area of the site. For the referral, you will receive 3% of the project value as a commission. The buyer you just referred will also receive a 2% discount on the project as well for using your affiliate code so there is incentive to both of you for using the referral system. Affiliate commissions are paid out once you accrue $100 worth of commission in your account and can either be paid to you through paypal or by check – whichever you prefer. If you have any questions on this you can email us at admin@shopfordesigns.com

Happy reading!

It has been noticed by us that using the message board judiciously helps you to win a design contest. Designers who have won contests were sent some questionnaires and they specifically mentioned the importance of the message board. Planning is been made to launch a private message board too for designers to send private messages to buyers. In this way if a buyer likes a particular aspect of a designer then he or she can ask the designer to optimize / refine that part of his design so that so that he or she has greater chance of winning a contest.

The public message board also offers great versatility as everyone can exchange thoughts and ask questions to the buyer to clarify any part of the brief. It acts as a secondary project clarification board. So take full advantage of it to see yourself in the winning seat!

Shopfordesigns saves you time…

1. You dont need to browse through 100s of profiles of designers since you get to see what you are paying for even before you release the fund for the job.

Nice is : choose the work you are paying for and not commit for a particular person not knowing what he will deliver.

Profiles can be copied from here and there and there is no way to verify if a particular design features in the profile at all belongs to that designer.

Hence its always better to see what you are paying for before you release the funds. The designer is also protected as the money is held in escrow by shopfordesigns (SFD). So a buyer with an intention to get design ideas and then run off cancelling the contest is eliminated! So its the perfect answer to freelancing and outsourcing needs…

So its a win-win situation for both the buyer and the designer!

Our very loyal buyer Priyankar says that www.shopfordesigns.com is a great place to choose and handpick designs from a lot of choices. He has done 7 projects from SFD in various categories like web design, banner design, logo design and full webpage design. He says the best part is that he actually got to saw what he was paying for even before he actually paid for it. He also used the message board judiciously in order to pin down his requirements and to communicate with graphic designers. He adds that graphic designers at www.shopfordesigns.com are really talented and understand requirements perfectly well. He found the star rating system very attractive too since it gives the designers a perfect vision as to what designs are liked by the clients and work accordingly.

Welcome to shopfordesigns. There are plenty of outsourcing sites cropping up all over the internet these days. Some are targeted at coding and some for content creation and even some are there for designs.. They offer a good platform to budding and upcoming freelances who are always looking to showcase their designing talents to the word and make a mark as a pro designer! But most of the websites are targeted to both coding and designing. So we came up with a outsourcing website which caters to a particular niche — designing. We did a very careful market research and found out that there is a huge bulk of designing requirement for both the web and the print media. We also hit upon a curious statistics which gave us the idea that there are many talented designers who don’t find the perfect state to showcase their skills.

Come shopfordesigns and all your worries are put to rest! We provide a perfect platform to launch your career and make your first buck on the internet! You may be a beginner or a pro you can find work and make money! Buyers can get talented designers as 1/10th the cost they would otherwise have to incur.
