Why cheaper doesn't always mean better. An honest breakdown.
Sound familiar? "It'll be ready tomorrow" — then silence. We provide a real progress tracker where you can see every hour of work.
But when the freelancer disappears a few months later and the contact form breaks — you're looking for a new one. And paying twice. Freelancers rarely offer guarantees, don't always think about loading speed, and you may get a "website" but not a business tool.
| Criterion | Freelancer | TimeKairos |
|---|---|---|
| Landing page price | $100–$2,000 | from $600 |
| Simple card site | Sufficient | Overkill |
| Post-delivery guarantee | Usually none | 30 days |
| Site speed | Often slow | Maximum |
| Google visibility | Minimal | Fully prepared |
| Work transparency | "Trust me" | Online tracker |
| Post-launch support | Hit or miss | Included |
| You own the code | Not always documented | Full access |
| Mobile adaptation | Basic | Perfect on all screens |
A slow website means lost clients. According to Google statistics, each additional second of loading can turn away up to 7% of visitors. A freelancer's site often runs on a heavy platform with dozens of add-ons that slow it down. Our sites load in 1–2 seconds — clean code, nothing extra.
Freelancer: $200 for a site. Six months later the form breaks — another $100. Need a new section — another $150. Freelancer vanishes — the new one charges $300 just to understand someone else's code. Total for the year: $750+ and frustration. TimeKairos: $600 once, support included, code is yours forever.
The freelancer says: "Done next week." Three weeks pass. You have no idea what's happening. Every project of ours has an online tracker — you see progress, time spent, milestones. No surprises.
I'm choosing between a freelancer ($200) and TimeKairos atelier ($600) for a business website. Analyze: 1. Total cost over 12 months (tweaks, fixes, support) 2. Risks if the contractor disappears 3. How site speed affects client acquisition 4. Cost of rework if switching contractors Give an answer with numbers.
