Ask the Community

I wanted to reach out and ask how you handle situations where buyers are actually purchasing services from you on behalf of someone else. What I mean is, a buyer approaches me requesting a design for a new website, but it's not for them personally. They've received an order through their Fiverr profile and likely can't fulfill it themselves, but want to procure the service through me. How do you deal with such clients? Do you say yes or no? 

Personally, when I develop a system or design a website, I always include my company name on the design to show that it's my work. However, there's a risk that they may remove it and claim ownership of the design, which doesn't sit well with me. Do you think it's okay to do this or not? Personally, I don't feel comfortable with it. When I put effort and passion into something, I want to proudly showcase that it's my company that created it. 

It also feels a bit off that they might later try to take credit for what I've done or built. Perhaps it's different in some other fields, but when it comes to design, I don't want anyone else taking credit for my work! How do you feel about this? Is it acceptable? 

There might be those who don't have the time or ability to do it themselves, but then I also don't think they should be selling such a service if they can't handle it! I'd love to hear more opinions on this and if you've encountered it, how you choose to handle it! 🙏
