What is Dribbble?

Dribbble is a community where designers share shots of their work, build a profile and find freelance clients. The free plan lets you upload up to 10 shots a day and list one service. Paid plans from $4 a month billed yearly add an enhanced profile, a portfolio website, a search ranking boost and access to leads and proposals.

  • Large design community for inspiration and feedback
  • Free to share work
  • Freelance leads on paid plans

Cons: where it falls short

  • Receiving leads and proposals needs a paid plan
  • Shots favour polished visuals over full case studies

Who Dribbble is for

Who can skip it

Creatives who want long-form case studies.
