Just the other day a client needed some small tweaks to their design, normally we would have to have charged them at least $250 for the work even though it was minimal, but because we have a couple oDesk guys on hand for that work specifically, we were then able to make the changes within 24hrs and do it at a substantially reduced rate and still make it a profitable offering for us too. Win WIn.

Regarding design sites, I only use them in limited situations. I know a local medium sized agency that has used 99designs to create the logo for their new product offering, but I wouldn’t recommend it unless you literally have a budget of a few hundred dollars. Design sites are perfect for crafting a variety of looks and getting ideas from, but other than that working with a smart designer is really critical in all your work and the reason is a good designer will consider black and white print usage of your logo, colour blind viewers, sizing, fonts, etc. A bad or typical design sourcing site won’t have these kinds of designers on hand. Often (not always) they are guys with photoshop skills and that is it. Do you really want a guy who can use a wrench properly to do the brakes on your car? Think about it.

Great article by the way Alex! Hopefully you will be visiting calgary again soon.

Cheers

Sandy, you’re not alone in your choice of partners. Many companies I deal with prefer to work with local freelancers / consultants and IT companies. However, I also worked with and know of companies that prefer to outsource their marketing and design tasks using the tools above. There tend to be repetitive / routine non-core tasks in your business.

I found, Ydeveloper, that understand all your needs and provides you the excellent outcome.
