Website Development in Turin: When to Choose a Freelance Developer or an Agency

I’ve been working as a freelance developer in Turin for years, and this is the question I get most from clients and entrepreneur friends. The answer depends on project scope, budget, complexity, and timeline.

Choose a freelance when: budget is $2,000-8,000, needs are clear and defined, you want direct communication with the developer, no extreme rush. Advantage: lower cost ($30-50/hr) and flexibility.

Choose an agency when: budget is $10,000+, you need multiple skills (design, development, marketing, copy), tight deadlines, team continuity. Agency costs more ($50-100/hr) but offers guarantees and multiple resources.
