Freelancer or Agency for Your Website: How to Choose

To build or redesign a website, two options often come up: an independent web developer or an agency. Neither is better in the absolute; it all depends on the project.

The independent developer

• Strengths: a single point of contact, flexibility, often a more contained budget.
• Limits: availability that rests on one person, skills that are sometimes centred on one area.

The agency

• Strengths: several trades under one roof (design, development, search optimisation), the capacity to absorb a large project.
• Limits: more intermediaries, a generally higher budget.

The criteria that matter

The size of the project, the need for support over time and the skills required often decide for you. Look at the published work and the verified reviews, and ask who will actually be working on your site.
