Web developers often need professional branding, logos, and visual assets but lack design skills. This guide shows how to exchange web development services for graphic design work on SkillLedger.
Sign up on SkillLedger and create a professional profile highlighting your web development skills, including your stack (React, Next.js, Node.js, etc.) and portfolio projects.
Create a skill listing specifying what web development services you offer, whether that's frontend development, backend APIs, full-stack projects, or specific technologies. Set your credit rate based on your experience.
Browse the Design category on SkillLedger to find graphic designers offering logo design, brand identity, or UI/UX work. Review their portfolios and reputation scores.
Send an exchange proposal to a designer whose work fits your needs. Outline what web development work you'll provide and what design deliverables you're requesting. Agree on credit values for each side.
Complete your web development work according to the agreed milestones. As the designer delivers their work, approve milestones to release credits. Both parties build reputation through the exchange.
Both parties set their own credit rates. If a developer charges 85 credits/hour and a designer charges 75 credits/hour, the exchange balances based on hours worked. SkillLedger makes it easy to calculate equivalent value.
SkillLedger's escrow system protects you. Credits are only released when you approve milestone deliverables. If there's a dispute, our mediation team reviews the exchange agreement and communications.
