Provide the Gift of Professionalism
Dribbble, the popular online community for designers, has introduced a new feature that allows users to gift a year of Pro membership to any member. This move is aimed at fostering kindness and recognition within the community.
The feature can be found in the gear menu on another member's profile. Tristan Dunn, a Dribbble Developer, was the first to utilise this feature, checking off a feature from Dribbble's wish list. His action has been recognised by both Courtside and Hive, as documented on the Courtside blog.
Dribbble Pro offers a range of benefits for designers. With a Pro account, designers can showcase their portfolio work with enhanced visibility, get recommended for project inquiries, and control project request parameters. Other features include advanced search, lists, and message limitation lifting.
However, the article does not provide any information about the cost of gifting a year of Pro or the process of accepting a gifted Pro membership. It's also important to note that Dribbble does not currently offer a direct way to gift a year of Pro account subscription through its platform or official channels.
If you wish to gift a Pro subscription, the best workaround is to purchase a subscription yourself and then share the account credentials or reimburse the recipient. However, this is not an official or recommended method since it may violate Dribbble’s terms of service. For confirmation or updates about gifting, it's advisable to consult Dribbble's official help center or contact their support directly.
