Outsource Web Design or Hire a Freelancer?

Searching for a website design freelancer usually means you need a site designed and nobody inside the business has the time or the eye for it. Marketing managers, founders and in-house developers without a designer all end up here. Before you choose, it helps to know what a web design freelancer does well, where outsourcing the whole job to an agency is safer, and what you should expect to own at the end.

Key takeaways

A freelance designer is a strong fit when the brief is clear and someone else will build the site.
Outsourcing design and build together avoids the handoff gaps that slow many website projects.
Ask early who owns the design files, the domain and the hosting account, and get it in writing.

Where a Web Design Freelancer Shines, and Where It Gets Hard

Freelance designers are often talented and good value. If you have a developer lined up, a firm brief and only need page designs, one person in Figma may be all you need.

Trouble tends to appear in the gaps. The designer hands over mockups the developer cannot build within budget. Nobody plans the copy, so pages launch with placeholder thinking. Mobile layouts, forms and accessibility get decided late. When you outsource web design to a team that also builds, those decisions happen in one room.

There is also the question of what happens after launch. A freelancer may be busy with the next project when you need a new page or a fix, while an outsourced partner can keep a light monthly arrangement going. Neither is wrong; it depends on how often your website changes and how much you rely on it to bring in enquiries.

How an Outsourced Design Project Runs With Us

We work remotely and keep the process visible, so you always know what stage you are at.

Discovery
Goals, audiences, competitors you admire or dislike, and what the site must do, from enquiries to bookings.
Sitemap and Wireframes
Page structure and content layout agreed before any colors appear, which saves rounds later.
Visual Design
Desktop and mobile designs built from your brand, shaped by our UI/UX design practice.
Build and Content
Development on the platform that suits your team, with copy written or edited where you need it.
Launch and Handover
Testing, redirects if replacing an old site, and a walkthrough so your people can edit pages.

Accessibility and Search, Built in Rather Than Bolted On

Two things are expensive to fix after launch. The first is accessibility: color contrast, keyboard use, headings and form labels. Our website accessibility work sets these up from the first wireframe. Accessibility rules such as the ADA are something we plan around with you, not something we certify.

The second is search. If you are replacing an existing site, page URLs and content need mapping so rankings you already earned are not thrown away, which is why our website redesign projects start with an inventory of old pages.

What Outsourced Website Design Costs

Each project gets a fixed quote in writing before design starts. Website builds start at $1,000, and the figure grows with page count, custom design, copywriting and integrations such as booking or CRM forms. Our web design pricing page goes into those drivers in more depth.

If you want a design partner on call after launch, monthly plans start at $1,000 a month, run month to month and end with 7 days' written notice. Hosting, domains, premium plugins or site builder subscriptions are billed by their providers. You keep the website, its content, the design files and your data.
