What do you like best about Design Pickle?

Easy to log in and start. Creating design projects were also simple to do. Designers were responsive. This helped me to confirm that good quality designs cost more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Design Pickle?

Poor design quality. Poor collaboration. Several of my team's projects were finished with in-house resources or sent to another designer. We raised concerns with the support team, and even worked through an escalation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Design Pickle:

Don't jump in without doing a few bake-off projects with another vendor if possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Design Pickle solving and how is that benefiting you?

We needed a resource for the marketing team's multiple design requests. This was meant to replace a contractor off shore to handle more design requests, and make for easier collaboration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Design Pickle?

Design Pickle provides a wide variety of design options to choose from and easy templates to brief requests. The 24-48 hour turnaround is refreshing after working with agencies who frequently take 7-10 business days. The AI template feature is really quite good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Design Pickle?

The downsides are mainly the pitfalls that come with operating through a third party: you're not building a relationship consistently with one designer, instead you have an agency rep and a revolving door of designers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Design Pickle:

I'd recommend giving yourself a 12-24 hour buffer for fixes to designs. Because you're often dealing with multiple designers of various quality, there will be some back and forth required with everyone in order to get a consistent look. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Design Pickle solving and how is that benefiting you?

Design Pickle helped us out when we were making a fast ramp-up from a minimal content strategy and social media presence to a full-fledged content plan, ample social media posts, and new branding. We needed a design factory to help us with those projects that were too light for us to consider paying our agency for, but too substantial for us to use more than an hour of our time on by designing it ourselves in Canva Premium. Design Pickle helped fill that gap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Alyssa Perreault-Perez of Design Pickle

Thank you for sharing your feedback, Tova! We're glad to hear that you appreciate our scope of work and quick turnaround times. We recognize that working consistently with one designer can be valuable for many clients; alternatively, our team-based approach ensures flexibility and availability, helping keep your design projects moving! We also offer solutions to help streamline communication and ensure consistency in your designs. If you'd like to optimize your collaboration process or want to talk about improving your experience, please reach out to help@designpickle.com. 💚

What do you like best about Design Pickle?

Interface, dashboard, and chat support were easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Design Pickle?

I was told during the onboarding call i'd be assigned to the web designer team but then apparently was not? (See recommendations to others section) That was like 14 days of wasted time not being on the right team out of the gate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Design Pickle:

If you're a web dev looking to outsource design, this service is not the way to go. What they could not figure out, was how to take my wireframe concept and turn it into something unqiue that didn't look amateur-ish. When discussing with support they switched me to "another team" that was more focused more on Website Design and it was marginally better but sitill not up to par for my agency clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Design Pickle solving and how is that benefiting you?

Output was remarkably fast when provided with detailed instructions. For regular custom graphic design elements were fine and acceptable on a case-by-case basis - sometimes even exceptional. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Caiden Laubach of Design Pickle

Hi Micah, we're sorry to hear about your experience with web design, and we'd love another chance to hit your mark for your clients. We're confident we can help deliver what you need! help@designpickle.com

We also appreciate hearing the positive feedback about custom graphic design elements as well and will be sure to relay to your design team. Thanks again!

What do you like best about Design Pickle?

The Work is super high quality and the designers go above and beyond to make sure you have a great end result. The customer service is thorough and really satisfying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Design Pickle?

I haven't found anything to dislike so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Design Pickle:

I've learned that the best way to get super high quality results with no revisions needed is to be as clear as possible with initial instructions. IF you can include examples of what you're looking for or explain it in a highly detailed manner, it makes it easier for the designer to give you what you're looking for the first time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Design Pickle solving and how is that benefiting you?

While I can do a lot of quick designs in Canva for my business, Design Pickle helps not only with the volume but the complexity. They've helped turn around bulk image updates quickly and taken the stress of my plate. When I need a product swapped in a model's hand or an infographic, the work is top notch and delivered quickly. I rarely even need to ask for revisions and the designers all communicate effectively. Design Pickle is well worth the cost and saves me thousands - plus my sanity! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Caiden Laubach of Design Pickle

Hi Rhyan! So great to hear you've had success with Design Pickle and are pleased with our customer service and results, especially that we're saving you thousands of dollars and lots of time!! Cheers to more success together!

What do you like best about Design Pickle?

What I like best about Design Pickle is the convenience and reliability it offers. The platform provides a seamless process for submitting design requests, and the turnaround time is impressively quick. The consistent quality of work, paired with the ability to easily communicate revisions, makes it an invaluable resource for our design needs. The flexibility of having a dedicated designer who understands our brand is another key benefit, ensuring that all designs align with our vision and standards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Design Pickle?

The lack of real-time collaboration can make it challenging to provide immediate feedback, which could have helped avoid miscommunication and ensure that the final product meets our requirements more efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Design Pickle:

If you’re considering Design Pickle, I recommend being as detailed as possible in your initial brief to ensure the designer fully understands your vision. The platform is great for consistent design needs, but clear communication is key to getting the best results. Be prepared to go through a few revisions if necessary and take advantage of the platform’s revision system. Additionally, patience is essential as the process might take longer than expected, but the quality and convenience can make it worthwhile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Design Pickle solving and how is that benefiting you?

Design Pickle solves the challenge of consistently producing high-quality design work by offering a scalable and reliable design service. This benefits our team by allowing us to quickly and efficiently create professional-grade visuals for various projects, from marketing materials to presentations, without the need to hire additional in-house designers. It helps us maintain a strong brand presence and meet deadlines, ultimately enhancing our productivity and ensuring our design needs are met with creativity and precision.​⬤ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Design Pickle?

Their model of paying a flat-rate for unlimited projects a month allows us to not have to count agency hours and allows me more flexibility on project management. Also having a dedicated team that knows our brand prevents misunderstandings and delays. They have a stable of very talented graphic designers, illustrators and animators to draw upon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Design Pickle?

In the past a request may have waited up to a day to be actioned on by them. This has improved greatly since we started with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Design Pickle:

While no where near the most expensive option for a creative agency you should have a good idea how just how much work and what kind you will need them to work on. The more designers you have assigned to you the more your plan will increase. Also video editing and animation will be on a higher tier so keep that in mind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Design Pickle solving and how is that benefiting you?

As an Art Director I get tasked dozens of projects a week. They range from simple social posts, to presentation decks, to complex marketing campaigns. I would not be able to fulfill anywhere close to all of them without Design Pickle. They are a strong, responsive and reliable team that we can depend on. They keep in regular communication when working on a project asking questions if something is not clear. They have group of very strong designers that can work in your brand and timezone to help fulfill all your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Caiden Laubach of Design Pickle

We're thrilled to hear it, Nick! Thank you for sharing your positive experience with our flat-rate model and dedicated team. We understand the importance of timely responses and continue to make improvements in this area, and always encourage clients to reach out to their CSM or our support crew whenever you need to (help@designpickle.com). Your recommendations for others considering Design Pickle are valuable, and we appreciate your support!

What do you like best about Design Pickle?

Having used other tech enabled services this one is our favorite! Easy to get started and when workign with designors we don't seem to have any "language/cultural" issues with them understanding what we want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Design Pickle?

Sometimes it is difficult to know which category to pick when selecting what you need designed. This may only be applicable to me as I have ZERO marketing background so the selections are not obvious to me! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Design Pickle solving and how is that benefiting you?

We’ve been using Design Pickle for a couple of months now, and it’s been a game-changer for our business. The platform is super easy to use, and the designers are incredibly talented. Whether we need custom graphics, app icons, social media posts, or marketing materials, they always deliver high-quality work that perfectly matches our brand.

What we love most is the seamless communication and the quick turnaround time. We can submit requests with confidence, knowing that the results will exceed our expectations. Plus, the unlimited revisions ensure that we’re always satisfied with the final product.

Design Pickle has saved us so much time and effort, allowing us to focus on other important aspects of our business. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for reliable and creative design services! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Design Pickle?

They will do exactly what you ask of them. As long as your instructions are clear and provide all the necessary info, there's rarely a time we go back with edits ourselves. On occasion, one of our clients might have edits and they always make those changes in a timely manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Design Pickle?

Sometimes the submission process is a bit burdensome in terms of finding every item to provide but the more thorough you are during initial submission, the less extra time it takes for edits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Design Pickle:

If you have a limited staff but seem to have an unlimited amount off design needs coming through on a daily basis, Design Pickle is not only a time-saver but a lifesaver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Design Pickle solving and how is that benefiting you?

Design Pickle has been so helpful in terms of turning around design elements that our staff would otherwise be unable to complete in time. Balancing our graphic designer's workloads is always difficult so any time there are items we can have DP step in and do is a way to save our designers from going crazy and our clients in getting their items on time or sometimes even sooner.

Recommendations to others considering Design Pickle:

I have been using Design Pickle for my center's design needs, and while the service is convenient, I've encountered some challenges that impact the overall experience. One significant issue is the inconsistency with follow-ups. For example, if there's an item in the queue and the designer has a question or can't get to it right away, they send a message. Even when I respond promptly—usually within the first 30 minutes—the project often still gets held up for another day, which delays our timelines.

Additionally, I've noticed a lack of attention to detail in some submissions. For instance, several projects have been delivered with the footer information for a different center, which is a clear oversight and suggests that there wasn’t enough attention given to ensuring accuracy. This kind of mistake is not acceptable, especially when dealing with branded materials.

When it comes to requests that are off-brand or require a bit of creativity, the output tends to lack variety and innovation. I was hoping for more diverse samples and options to choose from, but instead, I've found the designs to be somewhat repetitive.

Lastly, I'd like to suggest an improvement to the dashboard. It would be incredibly helpful to have a notification system that alerts you when there's an unread message from the designer. I missed several messages simply because I'm used to focusing on the revisions section. A red mark or some sort of indicator would be a great addition to ensure nothing is overlooked.

Overall, while Design Pickle offers a convenient service, these areas need improvement to enhance the user experience and ensure high-quality, timely outputs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Design Pickle solving and how is that benefiting you?

The option to have the creative sent with a Canva link. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Design Pickle?

I love that Design Pickle has a team of experts who work alongside our marketing team. It's a very collaborative process. We have as many iterations as necessary until we're able to nail down the vision for what we're looking to go to market with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Design Pickle?

I think it would be best to have the same designer every time so they know the brand and are familiar with each ticket. I think this helps with crafting a story for the designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Design Pickle:

If you're looking for a great design agency that will learn your brand, have a team backing you, and will work with you on collateral, one-pagers, and anything that you're envisioning to build, Design Pickle is a fantastic option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Design Pickle?

Sometimes, it is difficult to get the designers to understand the overall design needs when crafting a new design. You must include an example or specific details in the revision process to ensure that the design is updated to your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Design Pickle solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've been using Design Pickle for a 2+ years, and I couldn't be happier with the service. As someone who is not an expert graphic designer, they provide the design capabilities & skills to execute our brand's quick design needs. What stands out the most is the seamless collaboration and the consistent quality of the designs. The team is incredibly responsive, and they truly take the time to understand my vision and turn it into something exceptional every time.

The platform is easy to navigate, and the process is straightforward, making it effortless to submit requests and get quick turnarounds. I also love the versatility in their design capabilities—from social media graphics to more complex projects, they handle everything with creativity and professionalism.
