Recently, we were contacted by an old client for some work. It is always a pleasure to hear that customers are satisfied with your work. This is the greatest compliment a digital agency can receive. We had heard the story of this client before.

The client initially sought a single web designer to provide some services. He expected the work to be completed by a specific date. Our client was informed by our client weeks later that the freelancer was leaving the country. He had no warning and was ready to leave his job in order for him to pursue new opportunities.

While an international move does not have to be huge, the closing of a freelancer’s business is. Our client was a business with deadlines and our abrupt “out-of-business” notice put them in a bind. Although we were happy to take over the work and did great work for our old client, this story is much more common than you might think.

Your website is your online company’s face. We’d like to tell you why you should hire an agency instead of a single person for web design work. This will ensure that you don’t face the same challenges as others.

1. Stability is more important for a design firm

We have dealt with similar cases in the past. Our client encountered the same problem as other clients: the possibility to quit immediately. Although it may not happen every time it is easier for a solo web developer to close their business than a web agency.

Although exact numbers are difficult to find (freelancers are individuals and not corporations), we can get an idea of how many web designers go bankrupt in a matter of minutes. The first is the fact that 90% fail in tech startups. Those are small businesses with the backing of investor capital, too, rather than a solo designer working paycheck-to-paycheck. Even if you are able to deliver consistent work, it is possible that you will be the sole client and may have to move on to something else.

Especially in the past year,

The American Health Care Laws have changed, making it more appealing to work for an agency. Designers may find it more appealing to join a firm in order to obtain good insurance. Many clients have been in this position and we’ve heard of many who were left holding the bag.

2. Clients love a Chain of Command

This is not what you want as a deadline bears down upon you.

Freelancing is complete. This is one of the best aspects. Many of us who work in the digital industry have freelanced at one time or another. Being Your Own Boss is part and parcel of the American Dream. In practice, however, this means setting and following your own goals and timetables. It’s sometimes more work than working for a boss. Numerous popular blogs explain why freelancing is such a problem.

A part of hiring a website design agency is paying for a pre-existing system to get things done. If someone is putting pressure on you to respond to emails quickly, it will make it more difficult for you to get them. This accountability structure applies to communication and deadlines, but also all aspects of the business.

3. There are more experts, which means you can get more done better

A web design team is more than just a supervisor who ensures that employees meet deadlines. A digital agency in Los Angeles is able to offer many more skills than a single web designer because of its size.

The creation of design work is a conversation between the client (or the creator) and the client . Every client knows that the best work comes from a passionate creator . Wireframes can be frustrating for a designer who is skilled in graphic design. Many web design projects involve many components. Multiple people can work on the parts they are most passionate about. A company may just need a logo design. However, it is possible to get someone to create a few mockups. A project with many moving parts will require a greater investment than a quick fix. Multiple employees can work together to create a web design company in Miami . Each employee can focus on their own area of expertise, which is their passion.

Many companies prefer solo web designers because they believe that a company is less personal. Everyone on our team understands that each member of an agency brings the same dedication to their jobs and their businesses as a freelancer.
