12designer Finishes 2010 In Style By Accepting 10,000th Designer

Online, December 6, 2010 (Newswire.com) - The website, which has run over €750,000 in paid design projects and currently runs over 100 per day for its design community, benefited from expansion into the French and Italian market in the early part of 2010. The expansion means that 12designer.com is now provided in five languages -- English, German, Italian, French and Spanish -- which has strengthened its grip on the European market.

12designer.com CEO Eva Missling, who founded the company just under two years ago, is understandably delighted with recent developments.

"2010 has been 12designer.com's biggest year so far and the results show this. The dedicated effort to provide a website that is accessible to anyone in Europe has been rewarded with a large increase in both the number of designers and clients. It shows 12designer.com is providing something that people want, which is always a good thing."

12designer.com allows clients to post design briefings in a number of different categories with the most popular projects being logo, naming and flyer design. Yet new categories are being added regularly, such as sound and multimedia, to cater for the ever-expanding community.

"The community is getting bigger and with it, the idea pool. 12designer.com now has the opportunity to integrate with design and start-up communities all across Europe, which helps everybody to better understand what clients want and therefore what they should be given."

The good news for 12designer.com is that a better understanding of their clients is sure to lead to greater success. So what can they expect by this time next year? 20,000 designers? Over 200 daily projects? Missling is optimistic.

"Why not! Clients are getting value out of the website and designers are finding work. The 12designer.com team is growing and there's no reason to suggest it can't improve significantly on last year's achievements. In 2011, anything seems possible!"
