Designhill

Review:

Designhill is a popular international design marketplace that Canadian companies can use to connect with designers from around the world. It is more expensive than local sites like Workopolis and Job Bank, but you can get your money back if you're unhappy with your designs. There are 150,000 designers on the platform, and it has great features.

However, the quality of the designer working on your project is directly linked to the tiered plan you're subscribed to. There are no free options, any information on individual designers is difficult to find, and the platform won't help you hire local designers for full-time positions.

Pros:

• Designhill offers a 100% money-back guarantee.
• There is 24/7 live support available through phone, email, and live chat.
• The platform has multiple packages to choose from.
• Users can start a design contest, hire a designer, or buy a design gig.
• There are over 150,000 designers in the design pool.
• The website has designer rankings and awards.
• Designhill offers other tools such as a logo maker, a T-shirt maker, a business card maker, etc.
• There are largely positive reviews by Canadian business owners on Trustpilot.

Cons:

• The more basic plans come with access to less experienced and skilled designers.
• Designhill does not offer any free project posting options.
• There is no access to profiles and portfolios.
• Designhill is more expensive than local job sites like Job Bank and Workopolis.
• There is no pricing information in Canadian dollars and no French version of the site.

Reputation:

Other than some saying it might not be great for designers, Designhill has an overwhelmingly positive reputation. It has over 2,000 reviews on Trustpilot and has a score of 4.9/5. All the reviews on Trustpilot from people living in Canada are positive.

It rated 4.51/5 on SiteJabber and people in one discussion on Quora prefer it to other similar sites.

Designhill vs. Job Bank:

If you want to hire a full-time designer, then Job Bank is the better option. It is also free. Designhill is great for getting a project done or connecting with remote designers, but not for employing designers living in Canada.

Designhill vs. Graphic Designers of Canada:

Graphic Designers of Canada is a great tool to hire local talent for design work. It has a simple pricing structure, charging nonmembers C$250.00 for a single job post while members can post for free. Designhill offers a variety of options for projects and is great for getting design work done quickly or connecting with designers working remotely.

Designhill vs. FreshGigs.ca:

FreshGigs.ca allows employers to post design-related ads which it then promotes through a network of partner sites and industry websites and blogs. It is very popular in Canada, attracting 60,000 job seekers every month. Designhill is better for getting designs, fast, but FreshGigs.ca is better for sourcing local talent.
