Every shortlist follows the same rules.
Curation is not a vibe — it is a repeatable process. Here is exactly how a gig earns a place on our lists.
We start with hard signals: overall rating, number of completed orders, on-time delivery rate, and how consistently recent reviews are positive. Sellers below a quality bar never make the first cut.
Ratings tell you about reliability; the portfolio tells you about taste. We look at delivered samples to confirm the style matches what the listing promises.
We compare what each package includes against its price. A cheaper gig is only a good deal if it delivers the files and revisions you actually need.
Shortlists are snapshots. Seller performance drifts, so we revisit listings periodically and update rankings when quality slips.
No. Placement is earned through quality, not payment. Affiliate links are disclosed but never affect ranking.
We review listings on a rolling basis and refresh a shortlist whenever we see a meaningful change in seller performance.
