Work directly with the designer who builds your website

There is no handoff from an account manager to a separate designer or developer. You discuss your goals with us and agree on a clear visual direction. We then design and build the site in the same team.

Direct communication, clear choices and one person who takes responsibility.

We consider design, feedback and technical feasibility together. Nothing gets lost in translation, and the website stays true to your business.

What you get from a freelance web designer

You work with us directly, with a structured and transparent process.

Direct contact

Your feedback comes straight to the team. We make the decisions and carry them out, with no ticket queues, handoffs, or sales intermediaries.

Design grounded in technical reality

We build the design in the browser, so we consider speed, accessibility and content management from the start rather than after approval.

Flexible scope

Whether you need a focused redesign, a landing page or a complete website, you get the right level of support.

Freelance web designer or agency?

A freelance web designer is a good fit when you want one experienced professional to challenge your ideas and your project benefits from direct communication. An agency may be the better choice when you need many disciplines at once or a larger team to handle daily campaign work.

At Straffe Sites, we combine web design, frontend development, technical SEO and content structure. If the project needs expertise outside that core, we tell you early which specialist to involve. That way, you know who is responsible before work begins.

Websites with a character of their own

Websites that reflect the businesses behind them.

How we work together

Clear and personal: you always know what is happening, what I need from you and what the next step is.

  1. Initial conversation

    We discuss your business, your customers, the bottleneck and what the website or workflow needs to achieve.

  2. Choosing a direction

    You get a clear structure and visual direction, with choices I explain in plain language.

  3. Building and testing

    I do the build, share work in progress and check the content, speed, technical quality and mobile usability.

  4. Launch and follow-up

    After launch I stay available for maintenance, performance tracking, and targeted improvements.

No agency, but a senior team

Frequently asked questions

Straightforward answers before you decide whether this service fits your business.

What does a freelance web designer do?

We help with page structure, wireframes, visual direction and responsive design, then turn it all into a working website.

Do you also build the design yourself?

Yes. At Straffe Sites, we handle both design and frontend development, which keeps the details aligned with what is technically feasible.

Can I hire you just for a redesign?

Yes, if the existing technology is suitable. We first check what can stay and where the current structure limits the design.

Do you work on-site?

Most projects run smoothly with video calls and shared previews. We can arrange focused on-site meetings when useful.

Is a freelancer cheaper than an agency?

Not necessarily. A freelancer usually means less overhead and fewer handovers, but the total cost still depends on scope, content and technical complexity.
