They claim to be high quality human design. I believe it used to be. Now just AI generated from low quality designers.

A swift follow-up and response from the 99Designs Team.

I have a concern about the payment. Lina followed up quickly regarding the issue and assured me that it is part of the system and should appear in my balance within two business days. This has proven to be true.

99Designs is built on trust

99Designs is built on trust. If the clients don't believe they are going to get original work, leaving themselves open to possible litigation, they'll go somewhere else. 99Designs efforts to ensure trust is highly commended

Smooth and efficient collaboration with great results

The platform quickly provided us with numerous creative ideas, which were then excellently executed during the finalist round. Feedback was taken seriously and implemented promptly, making the collaboration very smooth and efficient. The final files of the winning design were delivered without delay. After the initial test project, we immediately launched a follow-up project.

99Designs Delivered Exceptional Results for Our Redesign

We partnered with 99Designs design refresh project for our BigC webstore and couldn’t be happier with the results. The platform was easy to use, and we were connected to over 100 creative, responsive designers who participated in our contest. Communication was smooth throughout the process, and revisions were handled quickly and professionally. The final designs exceeded our expectations and will make a real impact. Highly recommend 99Designs for anyone looking for top-notch design work!
