    On freelance platforms, it takes
    up to 7-14 days to find the right designer.
How does this compare to Upwork and Fiverr? I would expect if you post a job there with the statement "Please only apply if you can work on it today" you would get a lot of applications of people who have time right now?

Hi, thanks for your attention! Yes, that is correct and then you need to check tons of portfolios and find a relevant one.

Then you would negotiate a price, project size, and terms. It takes days including delays in answers and timezones.

Once you start working with someone online, it doesn't guarantee that this person will deliver work on time or do not disappear in the middle of a project (we had this before Awesomic ourselves). So the search is starting over.

Modern design projects typically require different sets of skills too – UI&UX, branding/logo design, graphic design, or illustrations. So typically designer is good at one main field or style, and others are minors. That multiplies the complexity of finding the right designer in a long-term.

With Awesomic, you always get matched with the best person for your task on the same day and get the first result on the next business day.
