99designs is one of the most popular platforms for outsourcing graphic design.

From logos to packaging to full website mockups, it gives ecommerce brands access to global freelance designers through either direct hire or crowdsourced contests.

After using it to launch branding for two of my stores, I can confidently say that 99designs is a powerful tool — but not perfect.

In this review, I’ll walk you through pricing, process, design quality, pros and cons, and whether it’s worth the money if you’re running an ecommerce business.

Launching an ecommerce store comes with a long list of to-dos.

And let’s be honest — designing a logo from scratch isn’t at the top of everyone’s list. That’s exactly why tools like BrandCrowd are so popular.

It promises fast, professional-looking logos, a drag-and-drop editor, and a massive template library.

But how good is it really? Especially if you’re building an ecommerce brand that needs to stand out in a crowded space?

After testing it out for multiple store concepts, here’s what I found — the good, the bad, and whether it’s actually worth your money.

Looka offers four pricing options depending on your branding needs. The Basic Logo Package costs $20 for a single PNG logo file. The Premium Logo Package is a one-time payment of $65, providing high-resolution files and full ownership.

For more comprehensive branding, the Brand Kit Subscription costs $96 per year, while the Brand Kit and Web Subscription is $129 per year, including a website with basic functionality.

I’m so excited to dive into this Tailor Brands review, and look at a platform that’s changing the way businesses approach branding and marketing.

This one stop shop has all the tools you need to create and manage your brand without needing external help.

I love that Tailor Brands is an all in one platform that covers logo design, website creation and social media asset generation.

So you’re getting into ecommerce and one thing is clear—your logo isn’t just a pretty picture. It’s your brand’s first impression, your digital handshake and the face of your online store.

In the last 12 years I’ve reviewed hundreds of ecommerce sites on ecomm.design and I can tell you this: a good logo can be the difference between a forgettable brand and one that’s remembered.

Whether you have a high-end fashion boutique or a streetwear brand, a great logo will attract the right audience and set the tone for your business.

I’m looking at two big tools for business today: Shopify and Tailor Brands. They do different things, but there’s more to it than meets the eye when choosing between them.

Shopify is an ecommerce platform, full stop. Tailor Brands helps companies create their brand.

Despite their different focuses, they do have some overlap that’s worth looking into if you’re looking to start or grow your online presence.
