From Profile to Platform: How Services Are Making It Easier Than Ever to Hire Designers on Dribbble

Services

One of the biggest challenges independent designers face is making the path to hire as seamless as possible. That’s why we built Services, a brand-new feature designed to reduce friction, boost visibility, and simplify hiring.

With Services, designers can directly list specific offerings, everything from brand identity packages to UI audits and pitch deck design, right on their Dribbble profile. Each service includes a project title, uploaded shots, detailed descriptions using a rich text editor, delivery timelines, concept counts, revision policies, and pricing breakdowns.

Initially, Services existed only within designer profiles. While that made it easy for followers to discover offerings, it wasn’t the most efficient for new clients. They’d land on the Discovery page, click into a profile, and then hunt for Services, if that member even had any listed. If not, it was back to the drawing board...

Services Search

To address concerns with visability and make them more discoverable, we fully integrated Services into Dribbble’s search experience. Potential clients can browse specific types of services, complete with visual examples, and instantly book a designer using our Quick Hire designation.

Results

Since launching in Q1 of 2025, over 7.2K Services have been created! This signals that clients aren’t just browsing portfolios anymore, they’re ready to buy. For designers, this is a major win; services give you more control over how you present yourself, price your work, and get hired.
