Freelancer vs. Web Agencies – Which One to Choose?

As businesses expand their presence in the digital space, there is an increasing demand for professionals who are well-versed with the changing dynamics of the web space. There is so much work that needs to be done, almost on an everyday basis, that businesses are compelled to work with professionals instead of doing things themselves. There are two types of professionals that will do the job for any business – web agencies and freelancers. Each has their own merits and demerits that you must know about before choosing one above the other.

Making The Right Decision

There is no denying that every coin has two sides. Similarly freelancers and web agencies both have their pros and cons. But despite that, you must take an objective decision that is based on various factors. Once you weigh the good and the bad of both freelancers and web agencies, you would get a clearer picture.

Freelancers promise flexibility but they have to compromise on several other things that they wouldn’t want to talk about. Web agencies on the other hand have more resources at their disposal which means that they can meet client expectation easily. Before you make any decision, take a look at the below mentioned points.

What Freelancers Have To Offer?

Freelancers are working professionals who do not associate themselves with any one agency or firm. They like to take up projects independently without having a top boss veto their choice. They work independently and alone. Let’s take a look at some of the reasons why you may consider freelancers.

  • As a client, you don’t need to worry at all about setting up infrastructure for the freelancer. In most cases, they work on their own using their personal devices. Your cost naturally comes down as you don’t invest in infrastructure.
  • You have the opportunity to collaborate with the best in the businesses. Freelancers do not have any geographical limitations. You could be sitting in New York and the freelancer in Bangalore but the project can be completed without any hiccups.
  • Freelancers work on deadlines. They don’t have a 9-5 schedule like office-goers. They work anytime of the day or night according to their convenience. But the thing they respect is deadlines.

Having highlighted the advantages of hiring freelancers, it is now imperative that the downside of their work is duly spelled out. One of the greatest disadvantages of working with freelancers is that you cannot completely trust their work. Since you don’t have much knowledge about their background or cannot glimpse into their past work, you have to walk in the dark and trust them blindly. This isn’t often easy on businesses who are trying to make a mark in the competitive digital space.

What Makes Digital Agencies Different and More Relevant

Digital agencies boast of having an infrastructure that helps them offer professional services to all kinds of clients. There are many other reasons why you should consider professional agencies above freelancers. Check them out.

  • You can trust their services. That’s the primary reason why you should consider them above freelancers. There is no one person answerable for any performance – there is an entire team. You don’t have to rely on one person to complete a huge project. A freelancer can get overwhelmed with the task at hand but not a digital agency team.
  • You can check past work and credentials. Most digital agencies have their own websites where they display everything from client feedback to customer ratings. It is very convenient for a new client to estimate their efficiency.
  • Work doesn’t depend on one person. Even if one person takes a leave, there are others in the team who can complete the project on time. You don’t have to depend on just one person (freelancer) for the job at hand.

Since here we are talking about a company working for you who cannot simply go offline when they want, it is easier to work with an agency. They have strict rules for their employees that mean you get the benefit of scheduling, deadlines and commitments.
