designbid

Rules

designbid is public, simple, and deliberately blunt. You pay for placement; someone else can pay more to move above you.

The short version

  • designbid is ordered by paid bids. Higher bid, higher placement.
  • Designer listings start at $5. Agency slots start at $50.
  • A completed Stripe payment is what creates or raises a listing.

Designer leaderboard

  • Submit a portfolio, website, Dribbble, Behance, LinkedIn, or Twitter/X profile.
  • Use the same URL or handle later to raise the same listing instead of creating a duplicate.
  • You can bid any whole-dollar amount above the minimum. If your amount passes someone, your displayed rank changes.
  • Clicks are public signal, not ranking power. The bid decides the position.

Agency slots

  • Only the 10 highest agency bids appear in the side rails.
  • Agencies outside the top 10 stay listed on the agency page.
  • When all 10 slots are filled, a new agency must pay more than an existing slot to enter the rails.
  • To take a specific slot, pay the amount shown beside that position.

Links and content

  • Submit a real public page. Private links, invite links, and temporary redirects may be rejected.
  • Tracking parameters are stripped from listing URLs whenever possible.
  • Adult content, scams, impersonation, and anything misleading do not belong on the board.
  • If a link breaks review or points somewhere different after approval, it can be removed.

After payment

  • Designer bids can go live right away once checkout completes.
  • Agency slots go through a quick manual review before appearing in the rails.
  • Bids are final and non-refundable. The board remains public even after you are outbid.
