i love that when you are working as an agency there's no reason for clients not to take risks because they know your team will deliver high quality designs or work! It was super easy to get started using 99 Design since I already had some great portfolios.
The fact that many people and agencies are taking a chance in hiring new freelancers helps to keep it fun. Honestly - this platform has helped us tremendously by being able to reach out to potential customers who have little experience designing websites.
