How does this work exactly, because I can't find any info along with a number of other people in this topic.

1. Pricing. Do I specify a price? Does the designer give a quote when I ask them for feedback? What's a typical price range? How are payments handled?

2. What's the turnaround time? Should I see feedback in 24 hours? 1 week?

3. What can we expect for feedback? Is there some kind of tiered system, so I'll receive X for $50 and Y for $100? If not, are there any examples of what I'll receive? I wouldn't want to pay $100 for someone to write a short paragraph of generic feedback I could expect anyone off the street to provide in 5 minutes.

1. If you Sign Up and click "Get Feedback" on the designer's profile page, you will see some notes the designer left about his pricing. Then you put together the materials needed for the feedback request (images/notes) and offer a price based on the designer's guidelines. If the designer accepts your request, you'll get charged once the designer delivers the feedback.

2. You should agree on that with the designer when you are requesting the feedback.

3. It really depends on the designer. Some people might tweak your designs on Photoshop/Illustrator, others might send you hand drawn mockups or just notes. Our designers have been curated by the community, based on the quality of their previous work and so you should expect insightful feedback. Also if you're looking for something specific, like Photoshop edits for instance, you should mention that when requesting the feedback.

Thanks for the response, but you really need some examples. That's the only thing holding me back at the moment. Pay a bunch of the designers to give feedback on pixelfold, and let's see what they come up with, how much time they put into the feedback, whether they focus on recommending pretty design changes, or if they make an effort to understand the business and suggest edits to increase signups and revenue.
