There are plenty of 'deal' websites that apparently save you lots of money when in reality they barely save you anything, but on the flip side, there are a few that save you plenty, Groupon for example. But not many offer deals for designers and just for designers, quite like Mighty Deals do.
Mighty Deals in a nutshell 'offer amazing and exclusive deals for web professionals', and yes that is their slogan, and no that is not just a sales pitch. The website is full of professional and high quality resources that all graphic designers, illustrators, web designers etc, could at some stage find extremely useful.
Why buy, I can make my own.
If you are like me, and the ego inside of you shouts out "its not your work!" or "dont be lazy!", ignore it. Of course you can make your own, but lets face it we don't all have the time. So for as little as a few dollars, you can be saving yourself hours of work within which you could have been progressing on your project, or embarking on a new one, therefore making more money. Simple.
I for one hate admitting this, and I'm sure many of you guys do too. But, I'm not a professional in every field and leaving it to the guys that are sometimes is for the good of your client, and you. So think of yourself as an Art Director and a Designer rather than just a Designer. Sounds so much better doesn't it?

Some of the Deals
Below I have taken 4 screenshots of various deals that are currently available on MightyDeals (as of 11/12/12) to give the people who have not yet clicked onto their website a better idea of what is available. Each screenshot links directly the the individual deal if you are interested in the advertised product. No need to sign up to purchase!

Apps. Just about everybody's got one. And now you want one. It's just that you don't have the time or the budget to make it look really cool. And a slick looking app can make all the difference in the world.

Icons are a great way to maximize information in a minimal space. Over time, many icons have become second nature like the small printer, the email envelope, and the tiny magnifying glass. Thing is, most sites use pretty much the same icons.

Quick. What's the absolute worst thing about your iPhone or Android cell phone? Ask 10 people that same question, and at least 9 of them will respond with "The battery". Smartphones have become a necessity these days, almost like an extra body part. But because they're so powerful, they burn through their batteries super quickly.

Need some pop for your website? Sick of the same old color schemes? If you want your site to really stand out, then pay attention to the little things. Everything from textures to background images to even a 404 error page are all things users will notice.
