Why Working with a Small Business Might Be the Best Move for Your Website and Social Media Needs
When it comes to designing websites and managing social media, there's often this idea that a bigger organization is better. Sure, large companies have the latest tech, endless resources, and a big team—but there's something special about working with a solo entrepreneur or small business like mine. I may not have the fanciest tools or a massive office, but that’s where some real advantages come in.
Let’s take a look at the differences!
You’re Not Just Another Client
In a larger company, clients can sometimes feel like a number on a spreadsheet. You get assigned a project manager, who may shuffle you around to different teams who are responsible for different areas of your project. With a small business, you get direct communication because I only answer to YOU! That means I’m your go-to person for questions, ideas, and everything in between. We get to build a real relationship, and I’ll understand your vision on a deeper level because I’m hands-on from start to finish.
In order to create the best for you, we work together one-on-one.
I Can Be Flexible
Big companies often follow rigid processes, which can slow things down. But when you’re working with someone like me, I can adapt to your needs on the fly. Want a quick website update? Need a social media post ASAP? I can pivot faster than a big company that has to schedule meetings or approvals. Flexibility means your project stays moving forward with your business, not only during your project timeframe, but beyond, I’m always trying to be available when you need me.
More Bang for Your Buck
Let’s be real—big agencies charge big prices. A large chunk of what you’re paying for is their overhead: their swanky office space, the latest tech tools, and a fleet of employees making up their various teams. But, when you work with a small business, your investment goes directly into the work being done for you. You’re paying for expertise and execution, not unnecessary extras. I value you as a client more than a new fancy desk (although I sure would like it)! I’m only maintaining 1 desk, 1 computer and the necessities that go into working my best for you.
Little overhead means the savings is passed on to you, and I know how important it is to work on a tight budget!
No Over-Reliance on Fancy Technology
Big companies often invest in the latest, trendiest tools, and while that might sound great, it can actually complicate things. Fancy technology doesn’t always equal better results. As a small business, I use tried-and-true tools that get the job done efficiently. I’m not tied to expensive software that forces you into cookie-cutter solutions. Instead, I customize everything to fit your needs without the tech getting in the way. And, more importantly, you will be trained to takeover all aspects if that’s what you want to do. You won’t be left out in the cold to figure it out on your own.
Creative Freedom
With fewer layers of management and decision-making, a solo entrepreneur has the freedom to think outside the box. I’m not constrained by a company’s pre-set rules or a rigid corporate brand. We can brainstorm ideas together and bring your vision to life without any red tape. This creative freedom often leads to more innovative, personalized solutions for your website and social media presence.
To me, the give and take in a business relationship is vital and I always want the client’s ideas and feedback to be a priority. If it’s at all possible I do everything I can to bring your ideas to the process.
A Real Passion
When you work with a small business, you’re partnering with someone who genuinely loves what they do. I’m not just clocking in and out—I’m personally invested in making sure your website and social media shine. I thrive on the success of my clients because it’s my success, too. With a big company, you might end up working with someone who’s just another cog in the machine and someone who looks at what they do as just another job on their resume.
With my experience and willingness to learn new techniques, I promise all of my clients 100%.
It’s All About the Relationship
Working with a small business or solo entrepreneur isn’t just about getting a job done; it’s about building a partnership.
You’ll get more personal attention, better flexibility, and a project that’s tailored to your exact needs—not what a big agency thinks you should have. Your ideas will always be considered as an important component of the project allowing you to be the star of the show!
