DesignQuote

I had a very bad experience with Design Quote as well. 90% of the time their "verified" leads are not actually serious people, or people who already have a provider and just need to get a few throw-away quotes.

Sometimes the leads never respond to you, despite multiple attempts to follow up via phone and email. Design Quote support is non existing, they just ignore your requests for a refund for the bogus lead.

Strongly advise against using this company.

I have been a member of the Designquote designer community since 2009. I've read some of the other criticisms of the site and to be fair, you have to know how to use the site correctly. I think it's a little naive to pick a designer without checking for reviews, references, and possibly a background check. It's not perfect, but I can tell you that I have doubled the size of my business just through this service. Many still remain clients today. The best designers on DesignQuote possess integrity and dedication to excellence and we are happy to share proof of that.

The first red flag should be that the website looks terribly outdated. It's like going to a dentist and seeing that his teeth are falling out of his head. Here they are suggesting they will do a competent job at pairing clients a graphic designers up as a professional service yet they have an amatuer website. Maybe they're having a hard time finding a new website developer... The whole thing is a joke and i find the offerings very limited. Its an incredibly inefficient system.

As a web design shop we've been using DesignQuote for over 5 years. We have completed projects for over 75 clients we've provided bid and proposals to via the DesignQuote process. DesignQuote has helped us grow and expand our business!
