Frequently Asked Questions
Why hire a graphic designer?
Look:
Stock graphics stand out like a sore thumb.
And do you know what impression they give?
They give the impression that you've taken shortcuts on your business.
When a prospective client visits one of your online channels for the first time, the branding and design work will almost-certainly be the first thing they notice.
By hiring a freelancer to create a set of high-quality graphic designs, you instantly demonstrate the time, effort and consideration you've put into your business to prospective clients.
Still not convinced?
Here are three further benefits of hiring a graphic artist over settling for stock graphics:
Stand Out From The Crowd
An original, vibrant and high-quality set of designs is a sure-fire way to set yourself apart from the competition in an instant.
Retain Creative Control
When working with stock graphics you're forced to try and fit your business to the graphics. Hiring a graphic designer flips this, allowing you to tailor your graphics to the goals and traits of your business.
Do It Right
Unless you have significant graphic design experience, it can be hard to come up with a design that best-represents your business. A freelance designer will have hundreds (possibly even thousands) of successful projects under their belt, meaning the project will be in a safe and experienced set of hands.
What are the benefits of hiring a freelance designer over a design agency?
Great Question!
Here are the three main benefits of hiring a freelance graphic designer over an agency:
Price
Agencies are swamped with high overhead costs (such as office space, employment tax and fixed salary costs). Hiring a freelancer cuts out the middleman, meaning you're only paying for the cost of the work rather than the costs of the business.
Experience
The vast majority of freelance graphic designers will have first worked for an agency to build up their skillset before going freelance. This means that you'll receive a more-experienced graphic designer for a much better price.
Flexibility
By hiring a freelancer, you're able to tailor your budget and working hours to the nature of the project without the hassle of a long-term contract.
