We all get excited with the idea of a new website for your business and a total revamp of the website brimming with ideas thematic, structure, and whatnot, all of this means more work for the developer. While we are in the midst of the excitement and ideas we want our website to stand out, to be unique. As much as it is a dream, which is only realized by the one who makes it for us, it brings us to the question of who should be taken up for such projects. Who should be given such a huge responsibility to fulfill the dream of a unique-looking website which can stand out? Therefore, the crucial question, which lingers is whether it should be built by a web design company, or by a person who is freelancing. Can you trust a freelancer for such a project or do you have to go with a well-formed web design company? Of course, many bootstrap businesses would like the idea of freelancing as one person can do a job for less money than a company may ask for but will we get the quality work or not? Can they be trusted? Are the questions, which hover the corners of the brain?
Let us sort this out for you by pointing out the benefits of hiring a web design company instead of a freelancer:
- By hiring a company you are sure to get a reliable and trusted partnership and long-term cooperation. A full cycle of support in services, which will include consulting to operations and maintenance, whereas with a freelancer you may not get that long terms support. As the freelancers are independent and they like to move on depending on their interests.
- By hiring a company you get a full team of highly skilled professionals, whereas with a freelancer you will work with one person who is expert in one thing, and for another vertical of the project you may have to look for another freelancer, besides you may have to work on the coordination between these freelancers as an added responsibility on your shoulder.
- By hiring a company you are sure about the management which is seamless and a professional environment for and during your project, whereas with a freelancer you will find a more casual environment which may also mean skipping deadlines, missing on coordination, in fact, you will personally have to be involved as a coordinator between various freelancer you hire for a specific job in one project.
- By hiring a company you get a legit partner. They have all the documents as per the company laws which can be verified by you at any time an moment to check on the legitimacy, whereas a freelancer is a one-man show, who can disappear without any trace and or be legally bound by you.
- By hiring a company you get the full support with your bug fixes and updates after the work is done, whereas with a freelancer if they move on to a different project would not or may not be able to work with you in small tasks like such.
- By hiring a company you get an agile methodology of development, whereas with a freelancer you get a flexible schedule in work.
- By hiring a company you get quality work as they would want repeat business and it's their company's name or brand's name at stake here, whereas with a freelancer they are temporarily hired for a task so they do not pay heed to the quality.
Hiring a company may be a little expensive than hiring a freelancer but it offers you stability, trust, and legitimate partnership. Ownership of their work, seamless management, and many more benefits than hiring a freelancer which may come at a lower cost but may come with many risks including lack of management, flexible schedule, low quality work, less or no ownership of work.
