Guide for Freelance Web Developer and Designer
Written by Dave Barlow
Over that last several years for quite a few practical reasons freelancing has really become super popular. Designers and programmers, the kind of "geeks" as they're usually proud to call themselves a geek, after all are simply the kind of people that often like to work independently. But there are also some really incredible designers out there that much prefer the camaraderie of working in a small team approach to web development.
You might just be better off working with a professional team of designers, instead of going the freelance contract route if you're looking for professional results with a good balance of efficiently, affordability, and superb design. Now obviously, we're a little bit biased because we are proud of our web team design approach, but we'll still try to be fair and reasonable to freelancers out there too.
Freelancers might do a fantastic job on a web design project but think about this are they really having the resources and depth of players to pull off the bench to really get the job done with a well-rounded game plan? most of the time the freelance web designers are faced with doing the planning, the business end of the deal, the wire framing, the graphic design part of the project, and only then having to code and program the whole thing to work effectively and correctly.
No matter who's doing the work-a professional team or a freelancer it’s not an easy task. But one thing is reasonably easy to determine that a web development team that includes incredibly knowledgeable experts all working in synergy together is more likely to provide a better balance finished product. It’s just really difficult to be an expert at all different component of web development-especially when some are so creative and then other parts of the job are at the opposite end of the spectrum.
The analytical mindset required to logically devise and implement masterful programming solutions is not as the same creative side of the brain that puts together artful graphic design. A person who works for hours on end implementing SEO on the back end is not always the same person that's really great at managing customer relationships. Of course, there are plenty of exceptions, but the point stands. It just takes all different kinds of skills and ideas to make web development go around.
