SEOJack vs Freelance Web Designer

Independent designer working on a project basis

A good freelance designer can do excellent work. The challenge is finding one, briefing them clearly, managing the project and then handling everything yourself after launch. SEOJack removes all of that.

£89 GBP to get started covers your first month. Then £89 GBP/month. No separate build fee for the base website. Chatbots, automations and other services outside the base website scope cost extra when requested. All additional charges are quoted and agreed with you first.

Where Freelance Web Designer wins

An excellent freelancer who understands your business can produce genuinely tailored results.
One-off project cost can be lower than years of monthly subscription, if you never need changes.
A freelancer who also does branding or photography can handle more of the project in one engagement.

Where SEOJack wins

Finding a good freelancer takes time — recommendations, portfolio checks, quotes, back-and-forth. SEOJack is ready to start today.
Routine text and image edits are part of the SEOJack base plan. New features and work outside the agreed scope are quoted and agreed separately.
The 'what happens after launch' question is often the painful one with freelancers. Hosting? Edits? Security updates? With SEOJack, that's all included.
If your freelancer goes quiet, changes career or raises their rates, you are starting from zero. SEOJack does not disappear.

When you should pick Freelance Web Designer

You have a strong personal recommendation for a specific freelancer, a clear brief, a budget for the project, and you are confident you can manage the ongoing relationship after launch.

When you should pick SEOJack

You want a professional result without the process of finding, vetting, briefing and managing an independent contractor. You want one monthly fee that covers everything, and someone available when the site needs to change.
