Freelancer web designer vs Web design company

We often are tempted with this question about a freelancer and a company particularly in relation to website design and development.

First lets understand who is a freelance web designer. A freelance web designer is a person who has learnt the process of designing a website. A freelance web developer is a person who know the programming related to website development. There are several freelance web designer and developer who know both these activities.

Depending on the size of the company it may employ lot of people for this purpose and this would result in greater competitiveness and greater collection of skills
