Dribbble has introduced significant updates to make finding and hiring designers easier. It has eliminated previously paid features to enhance connectivity within the community, making it free for any user to message other users and search for designers to hire. New features allow hirers to promote their open design roles or projects more effectively with highlighted and pinned job listings. Dribbble is also reintroducing the Weekly Warm-up, a design prompt challenge starting June 3rd, to encourage creative engagement and highlight standout designs.

Dribbble's latest release introduces features that enable designers to transact directly with clients through the platform, including project requests, proposals, and payments. The initiative aligns with Dribbble's mission to help designers earn a living and has increased lead flow by 242% year-over-year. Designers benefit from peace of mind, more leads, and low transaction fees, while clients enjoy secure payments and project conversion support.
