Advantages of working with a freelancer web designer/developer

Well, there are many!

First, let us take this in a pessimistic manner.
Why would you not want to have someone full time?
1. Because you might yourself not have the expertise to guide that person and in turn judge the capability of the person, measure his output!
2. Because you might feel that his cost to company when he sits in office will be higher (insurance, usage cost etc included) than if the person works from home or some remote location.
3. Because You are afraid you wont have work for him working all the 168 hours in a month and so more often than not he would be under utilized.
4. Because, there is a problem in firing him if he does not work upto your expectations. .There are clauses so you have to give him notice period and so on. You have to invest in his training and that takes up the cost as well.

Well, the solution is freelance!
When you freelance, you get exactly what you need and you can bargain for more at the same cost. And the best part about freelancing is that you can actually fire the guy when you like and start working with another since he is not physically present in your office. Saves you a lot of paperwork as well.

My Take.. Learn to scout freelancers well and then hand over the responsibility to one transparent person or company! Want to know more or have a word about your software project with me? Reach me at subhendup@mindfiresolutions.com
