Designhill

Review:

Designhill is an international design marketplace that U.K.-based companies can use to connect with designers. The platform is more expensive than Reed.co.uk and Jobsite, but it is more targeted and has 150,000 professionals in its talent pool. Other features include a money-back guarantee, 24/7 support, and multiple packages to choose from.

However, there are no free options, and information on individual designers is difficult to find. The quality of the designer working on your project depends on your subscription, and you can't hire 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.
• The BBC and Deloitte have used the platform.
• There are largely positive reviews by U.K.-based reviewers on Trustpilot.

Cons:

• The more basic plans come with access to less experienced and skilled designers.
• Free project posting options are not available.
• Access to profiles and portfolios is not offered.
• It is more expensive than local job sites like Jobsite and Reed.co.uk.
• There is no pricing information in pounds sterling.

Reputation:

Designhill's reputation is largely positive. It has over 3,000 reviews on Trustpilot and has a score of 4.9/5. Reviews on Trustpilot written by people living in the U.K. are mostly positive with specific mention given to the high quality of work, good service, and professional designers.

Designhill vs. Reed.co.uk:

Reed.co.uk is very popular in the U.K., has great features, and is cheaper than Designhill. It is the better option if you want to employ U.K.-based designers, but Designhill is the better option if what you need is a design project done professionally and quickly without first having to source designers.

Designhill vs. Jobsite:

Jobsite is a popular job site in the U.K. that reaches millions of job seekers and offers access to millions of CVs. While Jobsite has a reputation for bad service and a spammy approach, it is the better option for hiring local designers. If you simply need a bit of design done affordably and quickly, go with Designhill.

Designhill vs. Design Jobs Board:

Design Jobs Board is a job board that promotes job vacancies on the site and on social media channels. It offers a range of posting options costing between £49.00 and £499.00. Designhill, while not for hiring full-time, gives you far more design options, has a large talent pool of designers, and is more affordable.
