If you’re shopping for a new website, you’ll quickly run into this question: Should I hire a freelancer or go with an agency? Both can be a good fit depending on your business goals, but they aren’t the same thing.
2025 web design focuses on speed, clarity, and immersive digital experiences
Your brand deserves more than a template — go custom, not copy
Websites expire. Design, tech, and expectations change
Freelancers (like NerdiFly): Typically more affordable than an agency. With lower overhead, you get solid work without the agency price tag.
Agency: Higher cost, since you’re paying for a full team—designers, developers, marketers, project managers, accountants, HR, etc.
If you need a strong website on a reasonable budget, freelancers offer great value.
Freelancer (NerdiFly): You work directly with the person building your site. No middle managers, no communication breakdowns—just straight talk and custom work.
Agency: Multiple people may touch your project, which can mean more resources but also more red tape.
If you value a single point of contact and a personal relationship, freelancers shine.
Freelancer (NerdiFly): While a freelancer may not have a full team behind them, experience matters. At NerdiFly, I bring 20+ years of design and coding experience to web development using Elementor Pro, SEO basics, and dynamic integrations (like booking tools, Google Sheets, and e-commerce) into one package.
Agency: Agencies bring specialists, which can be a big plus for complex, enterprise-level projects. (Again, you will pay a big premium using an Agency.)
Freelancer: The risk is that one person can only take on so much. If they vanish, so does your project.
NerdiFly: Even though I operate as a freelancer, I brand my work professionally, use reliable hosting setups, and build sites with future growth in mind—so you get the best of both worlds.
Agency: More hands on deck means more capacity, but you’re often a smaller fish in a bigger pond.
If you’re a growing small business, a freelancer can be the perfect fit: personal, affordable, and flexible. That’s exactly what NerdiFly offers—freelancer agility with the professionalism of a branded agency.
Agencies make sense for big companies with big budgets and complex needs. But if you want someone who listens, builds fast, and gives you a custom site without the corporate overhead, NerdiFly is built for you.
