Hierarchy, an old word in a new world: the new 12designer's user experience status

Every day we've got the same smile on our faces: computers on, look at our Community, their messages, their input, their fresh ideas, their talented approach to hard communication issues... We have a lovely pandemonium where passion and professionalism fight and love each other every day, in every project.

We always said: a good idea shall always prevail. That's a fact. But it is also true, that a 23-year-old trainee may not have the same ideas as an experienced Art Director, with Photoshop-wounded fingers. In order to match and sort these differences, and therefore to offer you new features, we've created our 12designer's user experience status.

A lucky day: July 15th and 12designer's "Start-Up Day"

Yeah, we know how Summer is. Everybody disappears on a huge holiday, nobody answers work-related E-mails... Everybody, nobody? Not always. There are some people that never pull the brake, and they move forward exactly when everyone else is chilling and relaxing. No, we're not talking about us, we're talking about all those entrepreneurs that will spend July and August moving forward their business idea. Yeah, that idea we all had, and we never achieved to launch. Nor tried.

We don't want good ideas to vanish away, so, here we are, planning an event in the middle of July. Life and glory are for those who say, we shall not fear.

Fight imperfection: 12designer's video is here!

We all do like good things. Good dinners, good wine, good movies, good people, good TV (if it still exists), good series. Some do even like good movies, good literature, or yet more, some are fans of a football team that never wins a trophy but plays delightfully (ok, we concede: that's unusual). Point is, we all love good things.

That's why we've stepped forward, and said it loud: yes, we also love good things.

Getting bigger pays off: fees for clients and new Terms & Conditions

Yup, that's right. There's always a point in life where you have to grow up and start taking things seriously. After a year online, being there for free, we have to step forward and show to the world that access to a valuable creative community worths a little spending.

Minimum prizes per category

We decided to introduce minimum prices. Why? Because good design has its value! 100 € paid for a logo, for instance, does certainly not reflect the appropriate worth of a good draft, nor motivates experienced designers to participate. Since we are fortunately becoming more international, creatives from different parts of Europe and the world are increasingly taking part in projects. As we see ourselves mostly as a European platform, we want to make sure that the prizes offered are attractive to European creatives, too. Even if, according to feedback from our designers, around 50% of the acquired projects result in subsequent contracts.

What is the right amount for a minimum prize?

As the scope of the project within a category can vary a lot, it is certainly not easy to define the appropriate minimum prize. There is a huge distance between a simple graphical revamp of a homepage and designing a complete portal.

There's always a Reason Why...

...you should create a business. A reason why, you should reach a dream and make it come true. A reason why your future belongs just to you and your work. Because there's always a reason why to step forward and make from your idea a way of living: here's the Reason Why Creativity Contest. Which our colleagues from 12designer Spain proudly sponsor. Obviously.
