Freelance vs. Company: Which Is Better for Web Development?

Melody Jaimon • April 28, 2021

Every serious business professional today needs web development services. This is a nearly $41 billion industry, so there will never be a shortage of good web developers to find when you need them. 


One of the biggest decisions that you will need to make is between hiring a freelance web developer or going with an established, full-service company. When you're trying to get your money's worth, you can't go wrong hiring a high-quality web development company. 



Quality professional web development is yours when you read on and consider the benefits of hiring a company as opposed to a freelancer. 

A Web Development Company Offers Peak Continuity

Today's websites are fluid since you will need constant updates and a willingness to evolve. When you hire a web development company as opposed to a freelancer, you're getting peak continuity every step of the way with your updates. A full-service web design agency ensures that not only is your site technically sound, but it's also aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly.


This way, your site can evolve without missing a beat. In addition to upgrading your site cosmetically with new themes and designs, you'll also want to optimize the page speed, decreasing the bounce rate, and growing your conversions.


These professionals will help you with search engine optimization (SEO) rankings, keyword optimization, Domain Authority (DA), Page Authority (PA), and other metrics that let you know your website is on the up and up.

Hiring a Company Lets You Verify Their Quality and Consistency

You know what you're getting when you hire a company because their activity is transparent and verifiable. By researching a company's history, you can find out when they got their license, their Better Business Bureau (BBB) grading, and their average of reviews around the most reputable ratings sites.


When you hire a freelancer, it's tougher to nail down their professional history. Since web development is a long-term investment, you need to go into this relationship in good faith, and that only happens when you can verify their track record of turning around a consistent, quality product. 

Professional Companies Staff Word-Class Web Developers

Professional web development companies often staff highly talented professionals. You're getting the best for your money so that your site can be the asset that you truly need it to be.  In the long-term this will give you the best return on investment (ROI), so you never have to think twice about the fees that you pay.


Knowing when you are engaging with professionals is the industry awards they have.  As an example DesignRush has recognised Love My Online Marketing as one of the Top B2B Website Design agencies, the three best rated constantly recognises Love My Online Marketing as one of the top three web designers in Wollongong and the company has won best business 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.


World-class web development companies also often provide ongoing growth services like e-mail marketing, keyword research, pay-per-click advertising, social media and other products that can help you out. 


When you hire a professional company, you will also stay up to date with the latest development trends, techniques, and technology. Professionals can help you with things like adding a chatbot or making use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools.
