Unprofessional is the only way to describe this site. Everything seems fine until you actually try to complete a project. Designers are mostly foreign and there were issues with communication, they don't understand many details that are required for good work. Support is very slow in answering emails, there's no phone number or other ways to contact them. It took over a week to get an initial response, and then two weeks of going back and forth with explanations, still no results. Refund requests were ignored multiple times. No refund, no result, no reason to use them ever again or give them any more chances. They're not even cheaper than other contest sites, just more problematic and scammy. I learned my lesson. NO PHONE NUMBER means NO GOOD! Stay away, and if you're really up for a contest, try more established sites... there are plenty out there!
I recently ran a logo contest and had generally good results in getting different ideas. After that, it went downhill. As we went into the refining phase, the designer just could not grasp what we were looking for. All we were asking was to use brighter colors (less masculine). They kept sending the same logo. When we got the artwork, the PSD files were compressed and uneditiable. We asked them to unpack the layers and that took several attempts. We never got the font used and the way he built the logo makes even small edits a complete do-over. I then engaged their helpdesk to ask for assistance in communicating with the designer. On top of the logo, we also asked for a facebook design and t-shirt design. The designer simply did not build either in the style of the logo, or even close to the style.The helpdesk said they would take it "in house", and completed the design (facebook design was acceptable, t-shirt was poor at best (you can do better work going to an online tshirt shop). It then has taken me five interactions with their helpdesk simply to get the files that I paid for (AI, PSD, etc.). It has simply taken me way too much time to get what seems to be a simple request.
If you want a good logo, i think they do an acceptable job. If you want a relatively easy transaction, go somewhere else. If you want good support, don't start here.
Take $ upfront & design quality is sooo poor. First they say refundable before we pay & later they claim its a non- refundable! Big time cheats. Stay away!
The submissions rarely follow the guidelines given. We've never had an unsolicited sales text message until doing business with DesignHill. Within an hour we had two from two companies and six weeks later we're still getting them.
Fantastic! There is no other word for it!
Great designer! Had multiple ideas right off the bat. Really understood what i was looking for. Made requested changes very quickly. Pleasure to work with.

It was amazing how easy it is to get high quality LOGOS in few days.The number of entries was almost overwhelming, but I got exactly what I wanted. Thanks!
Wow, I never thought that finding a business card design would be so easy, DH has really added true values to our new business! With over 50+ designs from 15 designers, we were spoilt for choice and the designers were all of a high standard and professional! The design ideas were awesome and incredible. We are totally blown away.
Very impressed with the designers at designhill. The standard of applications in my competition was magnificent. I got many new ideas by the participated designers in my contest and my biggest problem was chosen from all the great designs. This was my first time using this site and I will definitely be back and recommend to others in future.
Most small businesses do not have the resources or time and designhill fills this void! The Customer Support was always prompt and very helpful while reply to all our queries. This has been a seamless process for me. I am planning to use them again. Well organized and I felt they were there with me every step of the way. Really supportive team.
We, a startup bar was looking for a Poster Design. I came across Designhill by referring, one my colleagues. It was really an extremely positive contest. We worked hard on our design brief and spent time inviting designers with relevant profiles to come visit our contest. I can honestly say that the hardest part was selecting the winner of this contest, we had a lot we liked that made it to that level. We were thrilled to have that level of quality and still be able to pick our favorite as the Winner.
Designer really listened to my design instructions which was really important to my unique project. The team is very accommodating. I was concerned that I did not like any of the early designs. I requested an extension of time and Designhill extended my contest for another 7 days! I had over 100 designs submitted! They made handover of files and payment very easy. Thank you!
Great to work with Designhill, the process was simple and easy to work with the clients,. Hopefully in the future can give a job to me. Thank you Greetings.
I was not sure for launching contest at Designhill and bit confused. But when we received few designs then I realised It is right place for us. With Designhill we found the original, distinctive and evocative logo we wanted for the small amount of money we had as bootstrapping startuppers. We received 113 designs from 15 designers in 7 days.

Giving feedback to the designers made our choices better as well.
I would recommend to my friends and family who need that professional design in future. Great service!
The interface is amazing, simple and remarkably intuitive. It exceeded over and beyond my expectations. Makes it easy for someone like me starting a small business and finding good quality designers for my social media page design with affordable budget. I'll definitely be back again for more.
This was a very exciting way to obtain our Signage design. The process and experience was easy and efficient. Great utilization of time, money, and talent.
The whole process has been much easier and the designs submitted were of much higher quality than I anticipated. Their customer service is excellent. Response and follow up is very prompt. They made sure that it resulted into satisfactory resolution.
I am not very creative, and have little experience with graphic design, so the idea of building a logo for my boutique was a daunting one at best. My friend refer me this platform, and from start to finish the process was easy, hassle free, quick and effective. LOVE designhill and also have recommended it to numerous colleagues and others I know in the business world. The site is super simple to understand for first-time. Will come back for future needs.
The designers were great and very quick to respond. I was impressed with the quality and the varying designs. It was really great to work with more than just one set of eyes! Hope to use again in the future. I was very pleased with my poster design for our Christmas Event Celebration. The service was excellent and most importantly, the designers I was able to interact with were all very responsive as well as the support team was prompt to reply to all my queries. Thanks Again Designhill!

Answer: DesignHill brings together designers from all over the planet so you can find the style you're looking for. This system worked for me as a buyer. I don't work for or with the company so I don't know what it's like working as a designer or what percentage they get paid. My designer was great so I hope they are paid all that they deserve.
Answer: This is a contest that you're guaranteed to get a design that you like or you will get a full refund. I never needed to use this feature because I always got more than enough designs from a contest to pick a winner. In fact, many times it was hard to chose just one winner.
Answer: The website takes a little bit of time to navigate but I did find the right places to click to view the profile/ work of the talented designers here. They each show what they offer and what they charge. Some have ready-to-buy designs and other will do custom work for a charge. They're located all over the planet so sometimes there may be a 12 hour time difference between where you and your designer live. But my designer was still great, patient and punctual. There was a bit of a language difference to overcome but I was still pleased and impressed with the outcome.
Answer: Yes, you may ask for multiple revisions in the font, shape, size, and color. The client can ask for revision both during the contest period when design submission is allowed and also ask for minor/final changes during the design Handover stage. You can directly communicate with the designer in both stages.
