Can you work alongside our freelancer?

Yes. We often take the platform side while a freelancer keeps the design or content work.

Is Axiom more expensive?

Per hour, usually. Per year including changes and maintenance, usually not.

We like freelancers — several of the best builds we have seen started with one. The question is what happens in month fourteen, when the freelancer is on another project and something breaks.

Where freelancers win

Direct personal contact with the maker
