Introduction
When starting a website project, one question often comes up:
Should you work with a freelance web developer or a web agency?
There’s no universal answer. The right choice depends on your project, your budget, and how you like to collaborate. In this article, I share a practical and honest perspective, based on my experience as a freelance web developer.
Freelance web developer: flexibility and direct communication
Working with a freelance means dealing directly with the person who actually builds your website.
Advantages of a freelance web developer
- One single point of contact
- Greater flexibility
- Faster decision-making
- Better understanding of your needs
- More controlled budgets
As a freelance, I handle every step of the project: design, development, SEO optimization and launch.
This allows me to create efficient, consistent and .tailored websites..
Web agencies: structure and larger teams
Web agencies usually work with larger teams including project managers, designers and developers.
They can be a good choice for large-scale or highly complex projects.
Advantages of a web agency
- Multidisciplinary teams
- Higher production capacity
- Established workflows
However, communication can be less direct, and costs are often higher.
Which solution fits your project?
👉 Freelance is usually ideal if:
- You are a small business, freelancer or association
- You need a WordPress website or e-commerce
- You want personal support and flexibility
- You value transparency and responsiveness
👉 An agency may be better if:
- Your project requires a large team
- You have a very complex technical scope
- You manage large or international projects
Expertise matters more than structure
In the end, what really matters is not the status, but the expertise and working approach.
A good professional will help you:
- Clarify your goals
- Build a fast and optimized website
- Support your business growth
I personally focus on performance, UX and SEO from the very beginning of every project.
