Behance
Adobe’s design community. Show the work. Do not announce the startup.
Behance is where design work is discovered, hired from, and sometimes featured. A case-study project with real screens beats a ‘we launched’ post. Adobe’s network still gives the domain real crawl weight.
Pair with Dribbble if the product is visual. Skip if the product is an API with no interface.
A room, not a submit form
Should you launch on Behance?
Launch here only if you can take the local rules and stay in the thread.
Behance rewards presence more than a scheduled card. You can show up without a huge graph, but you still have to participate — a link dump fails. Audience: Designers, art directors, and people hiring them.
Do not stack this with another comment-heavy launch on the same morning. Show HN, Reddit, X, and Product Hunt all want the same hours.
When: A different day from Product Hunt. After the one-liner has survived a smaller room.
Launch here if
- Visual products, design tools, and studio work
- A case study that can live as a project
- Recruiting and social proof
Skip if
- API-only developer tools
- A text dump of your changelog
- Buying a feature instead of showing work
This page answers Behance only. For an ordered stack by stage, buyer, and goal, use the shortlist recommender or the four-week sequence.

Tips
- Dribbble for shots, Behance for the long case study.
- Awwwards is a different, juried game — do not confuse them.
