New Service Idea: DesignCrit / DesignGym
Derived from benchmarking insights and reimagined as two distinct SaaS opportunities.
1st idea : DesignCrit
A marketplace for premium design feedback from vetted industry experts
Overview
DesignCrit transforms the way designers receive feedback by creating a two-sided marketplace where designers can purchase expert critique from verified industry professionals. Unlike Daily UI that focuses on practice prompts, DesignCrit addresses the critical gap between creating designs and receiving meaningful, actionable feedback. The platform vets all critics to ensure quality, provides standardized critique frameworks, and allows design experts to monetize their knowledge. Designers can select feedback specialists based on industry, style preference, or expertise level, and critics can build reputation and consistent income. The platform becomes a valuable extension of the design community by providing structured, professional feedback that actually improves skills rather than just validating work.
- Problem:Designers struggle to get professional, constructive feedback beyond generic comments from peers or social media.
- Solution:Create a marketplace connecting designers seeking quality feedback with vetted industry experts who can provide detailed, professional critiques for a fee.
- Differentiation:Unlike free community feedback platforms, DesignCrit vets all critics, offers structured critique formats, and enables direct monetization for design professionals providing valuable feedback.
- Customer:
UI/UX designers at all career stages seeking professional feedback, and experienced design professionals looking to monetize their expertise. - Business Model:Platform takes a 15-20% commission from each feedback transaction, with additional revenue from subscription tiers offering enhanced features and priority matching.
