I think your model is right along the lines of Threadless and as long as you can keep the traffic flowing and creative ideas coming in, you'll be just fine. Best of luck Ross.

Just as iStockPhoto has helped bring about a change in the industry, we'd like to do the same. They've opened the door to millions upon millions of people who previously had no way to get noticed in the creative community. Threadless has done the same thing for t-shirt design. Creative people can't stop being creative and they look for any outlet they can. We like to think that we're following the path that these other models have blazed. And we provide some pretty powerful features - we handle the billing and payment, we provide legal contracts, we handle end to end project management (including feedback). We've had some very nice projects from local businesses (For example, Cachefly had a great site design project a month ago and received 60 designs). We look forward to seeing more. Best, Ross Hi Jeff,
