#2Sounds like a good idea. We used to spend lot of time on dribbble and other websites and its really difficult to
figure out which designers are good without wasting weeks... How does the community curates?

I am not the creator, I posted this because we spent way too much time looking for a designer on dribbble, behance, and elance.
Users look at the applications and then vote on whether the designer should be admitted

#4The self-curation is a great idea. It's something we want to implement on our own find-a-designer site (Folyo) down the road.

I would recommend www.folyo.me. I posted a job there recently and got 20 high quality leads.

> "Posting a project on Folyo costs $99."
Is a bit of a turn-off for small projects where design cost will likely only be $400-500.

Thanks for Folyo. It was my first time hiring a designer and I am very happy with the results.

#8That could probably work for developers.
All the freelance sites I use have the option to link to github, stackoverflow and others, but not do anything with that.

#9My biggest problem with hiring designers like this is that it encourages designing for other designers, rather than for the customer. I want a designer that prioritizes something that's easy to use and obvious, rather than something that screenshots well for Dribbble. Sometimes those two goals can align, but not always.

I think you can solve that by taking into account customer feedback when curating the designers. That would for sure allign interests.
