Step-by-Step Breakdown: How Does Placester Marketplace Work?
No matter which services you’re looking for, using the Placester Marketplace is easy. Here’s how it works:
1. Choose a Task From the Services Marketplace
Browse the Placester Marketplace and choose a service that meets your needs. Anything from logo design to chatbot integrations to a full-on website design are available. Placester Marketplace offers more than 45 services at the time of this writing.
Clicking on a service will give you more information about what you get for your money and what your Placester creative assistant will need from you to get started.
2. Connect With Your Creative Assistant to Review Your Request
After you complete your order request from the Placester Marketplace, your request goes into a “review” stage where it’s soon accepted by a creative professional who will review it and make sure they have everything they need to meet and exceed your expectations. The turnaround time for this stage is quick, generally less than 24 hours.
3. Review Your Finished Work, Offer Revisions if Necessary
Your Placester Marketplace creative assistant will reach out to you on or before the deadline for project completion with their completed work. If you’re happy with where things stand, you can accept the work, or offer revision requests on items that need to be tweaked.
Most basic design services offer at least one round of revisions. With more intensive creative services, like a complete website design, you’ll be allowed multiple rounds of editing to ensure you’re getting exactly what you’re paying for and the end product is to your liking.
After you’ve accepted the final product, your Placester creative assistant will finalize your project, deliver the files to you, and make sure your new creative asset is live and functioning on your Placester website.

Placester Marketplace FAQs
You know what the Placester Marketplace is, how it works, and how much it costs, but you may have some additional questions. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions about this service.
Can I use Placester Marketplace without a Placester website?
No. To access Placester Marketplace, you need to have an active Placester website. Other platforms (like Fiverr) might provide similar services, but the providers won’t have platform-specific, Placester-trained professionals who are ready to address tasks on your Placester website.
How long does it take Placester Marketplace experts to complete services?
Since every task is different in size and scope, there isn’t a specific timeline for every project. However, in our experience, most basic tasks are completed within a week, and larger design tasks—like a complete website build—will take closer to a month.
What makes Placester Marketplace different from Fiverr?
The basic idea of Placester Marketplace is pretty much the same as the online services marketplace Fiverr, but with a couple of crucial distinctions.
First, creative assistants offering services on the Placester Marketplace have been specially trained in the Placester website infrastructure, ensuring that any work they do on your behalf is 100% compatible with your Placester website. Even an extremely talented designer on Fiverr wouldn’t be familiar with your Placester website’s requirements for images or content, making the work you contract from that Fiverr designer difficult to use or integrate into your site.
Second, Placester Marketplace is directly connected to your website, so your creative consultant can easily integrate whatever they’ve created for you onto your site. Their internal access to your website significantly increases the convenience of Placester Marketplace.
Can I order more than one service from Placester Marketplace?
Absolutely! Since their services are so affordable, completely modular, and on demand based on the needs of your business, you can order as many or as few of them as you’d like with no contract, no expiration date, and no limit. You can scale your use of Placester Marketplace with your business as it continues to grow and change.
