Glossboss Websites vs. hiring a freelancer.
A good freelancer can build a nice site. The question is what happens after launch day. Here's the honest difference.
Side by side
| Typical freelancer | Glossboss Websites | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | One project fee, sometimes cheaper upfront | A low setup fee, then monthly |
| After launch | The project ends; changes are billed by the hour | Hosting, updates and change hours every month |
| Hosting and updates | Often yours to arrange and pay for | Included |
| The tech | Often WordPress and plugins that need updating | Nothing to update, patch or log into |
| Booking | A plugin, if you ask for it | Built in from Stuttgart up |
| Launch date | Depends on their other projects | Fixed, 14 days from kickoff |
| Local SEO | Varies a lot | City pages from Stuttgart up, ranking report on Autobahn |
| Knows detailing | Depends who you find | Built by a detailer |
| Who owns the site | Usually you, code included | Your domain and content are yours; the site is licensed while you're on a plan |
When a freelancer is the better pick.
If this sounds like you, go with them. We'd rather tell you now.
- You want to own the code and host it yourself
- You need something unusual that no detailer site does
- You have someone who can keep the site updated after launch
