Design Pickle vs. Guru.com

Design Pickle is well suited for a small company that does not have an in house creative design team or employees that have design experience. It is an affordable solution to have a designer in your pocket for creative content as needed. It is also great for companies that may have a design team but they are overwhelmed with work and need support due to lack of resources.

VERY useful for small companies where one person does an entire job/task. May be less useful for larger companies, as it would be difficult to maintain, and there are usually teams to cover the slack. Also good for tech purposes. Our tech people constantly create Guru cards in order to help us learn to do back-end things.

Design Pickle gave us a dedicated designer who took your requests and was able to really learn and understand our brand the way a Fiverr contractor was not always able to do. Design Pickle was more bang for our buck if we had a lot of projects to use them on, otherwise the monthly stipend amount was wasted. Canva gives a ton of flexibility to make the design exactly how I want it, but is a do it yourself program

• Shortened time to delivery of content
• Increased the amount of readily available social content

• 100 times better than writing up and printing multiple training manuals & presentation handouts!
• Team members know they have easy access to any and all knowledge so they can refresh at their own pace without the need for repeat training sessions/presentations.
