• The most affordable option
• You can change your website whenever you have time
• No dealing with a third party
• Minimized security risks

• Finding the right company/freelancer can be challenging.
• Even if a company/freelancer has nothing but 5-star reviews, it doesn’t mean they are a five star company. For example, if you’ve never tasted steak before, you may rate a fast food restaurant as fine dining, the highest quality of food you can buy. Likewise, if you’ve never had a top-tier website, you may think low-quality websites are worth the 5-star reviews. Unfortunately, many Web Design portfolios don’t match the 5-stars they receive.
• If the website they build you isn’t appealing to customers, then it’s almost useless to you.
• Prices can be reasonable to very costly, depending on your needs and the company. Some prices are simply rip-offs.
• The wrong company can be a hassle to deal with, costly, or even risk the security of your website.
• Some companies may find unreasonable ways to increase the price.
• Freelancers are hit and miss. Some offer quality services. Others can build websites leaving you open to hackers, scams, and even unseen pages designed to promote illegal content.

Ideally, hiring a web design company is best for a stable business seeking to grow, while looking to outsource the time, knowledge, and energy necessary for effective digital advertising.

Hiring a company could be short-term (like paying for a single-website build) or long-term (hiring a company for prolonged maintenance and/or marketing).

There are many different options for hiring a Web Designer. with Web Design companies.

• Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t pay for anything until you are 100% confident it isn’t a scam, and are the right company for you.
• If they “guarantee” SEO rankings, know that 99.9% of the time, they are lying. Even if they do produce results, SEO is a field where nothing can be guaranteed. For more info on this, look at the SEO Debunked page.
• If the company has a portfolio, compare the quality of their work to that of their own website. Is it the same quality of work, or are client’s websites of lesser quality than the designer’s own pages. Remember, just because they have five-star reviews, doesn’t mean they are a five-star company.
• Places like Fiverr or Upwork are good places to find freelance web designers while also having a system to protect you against scams or unfair pricing. However, choose wisely. The wrong freelancer could leave you open to hackers, build backdoor entrances, or hide pages designed to promote illegal content. But even honest freelancers may lack the skill or integrity to build you the website you need.
