Ask HN: Would you hire an agency or a freelancer to create your website?
Was just wondering if people feel more at ease if they hired an agency or a freelancer to create their website. Both has their certain advantages. For example a freelancer would be cheaper and closer to you discussion wise. While an agency would be faster, reliable and professional.
Keep in mind that this is just in general, some freelancers are more professional than agencies, and some agencies are more client oriented
- MariuszGalus 11y agoMost freelance websites have agencies behind the freelancer accounts that do the work for dirt-cheap but not always perfect, the site then may be needed to be cleaned up or not how you wanted it due to a language barrier. However, if you're technically inclined, it's always a good 80/20 rule route.
- chloealpert 11y agoI think it depends on the scale of the project? I do a bit of freelancing for front-end projects, and the sweet spot has been for landing pages and projects that people want to move fast on. I think in general it's best to work off of referrals and look at hiring an agency or freelancer in the same way you would hire any employee - due diligence.
