Most companies these days have a website showing off their products or services and know that they have to have one to compete with the competition. With the website comes all of the manpower and knowledge that you have to either bring on board the company or hire out.

The problem comes in when you have to decide if it is worth bringing on board a webmaster to maintain the website. Is it a very dynamic site that will require lots of maintenance and changes on a regular basis, or is your site going to be static and once it's done, will probably not need many tweaks to it.

For most business owners, it is the latter. They don't have the need to justify bringing on board a webmaster and outsourcing to companies who specialize in creating websites and can have some horrible side effects that you should be aware of.

One of the biggest concerns with business owners and their websites is the lack of knowledge they have as opposed to the webmaster. It is common to hear horror stories about webmasters who put all of the details of a website into the coding so that if the owner wants to make changes to the site, they have to go back to the webmaster, whether they want to or not. Then the charges that come along with this to maintain the site are often more than necessary. However, you can take a stand against these charges. There is a solution that many savvy business owners make and that is using a freelance designer.

The main reason to use a freelance designer to build and maintain your site is the cost. It is usually cheaper to work with a freelance designer than it is with a company that has a large staff and don't care quite as much about the end product as a hunger freelancer who is looking to do a great job and hopefully gain more work.

Second is the fact that a freelance designer is not on the payroll. You don't have to worry about bringing anyone on board and to pay for insurance and all of the additional expenses that come along with hiring a new employee.

Finally, when you are ready for some changes to be made to your site, you can go back to the freelance designer you had build you the site, or you can send the work out to a new freelance designer. The option is up to you and that is the main key of hiring a freelance designer to do the work for you. You have all the options and can pick from the best designers out there.

Take the time to look at using a freelance designer for your websites or logos before going to a large corporation. You will more than likely get the price you want, the attention to detail you need, and the one on one interaction you deserve by working with a freelance designer.
