So why should you make use of a freelance developer?

The main advantage of choosing a freelance web site designer over a large corporation is cost. It comes down to the bottom line again.

Many freelance designers work independently, and often from a home-office. This means a freelancer will have little to no overhead costs, where a large web development company will have offices premises, staff, rents and other costs to make up for, in your quote! – this often results in much higher hourly rate than a freelance web developer would ask.

Many large design and development houses also outsource work directly to freelance developers. This can cause communication delays when your point of contact doesn’t have the technical skills necessary to answer your questions. You’re better of working directly with the developer on a web development project.
