-
What's the difference between a freelance web designer and a freelance web developer?
A web designer designs how things look and feel, usually in a digital design canvas, like Figma or Sketch. A front-end developer then brings this to life in the browser, layering on interaction and user experience. I have years of experience and knowledge in both areas, so I can become a great asset to businesses looking to bridge that gap between design and development.
-
Should I hire a web design expert, or a web design agency?
Hiring a freelance web designer can quite often be cheaper than an agency. They generally have less overheads which means lower hourly rates.
