Framer Experts
vs.
In-House Hires
Why pay a $120,000+ salary, benefits, and wait months to recruit, when you can plug an elite Framer squad directly into your company in 48 hours?
The reality of full-time hiring.
Hiring in-house is great for your core product. But hiring a full-time employee just to build and manage your marketing website is a massive drain on resources.
The $120k Salary Trap
A senior frontend developer costs over $120,000 a year, not including health benefits, taxes, software seats, and equipment. It is a massive fixed cost added to your burn rate.
The Recruiting Slog
Writing job descriptions, sorting through hundreds of resumes, conducting 3 rounds of technical interviews... It takes 1 to 3 months just to get a developer in the seat.
The Utilization Drop
What happens when the website is finished? You now have an expensive full-time employee with not enough work to do, leading to idle time and wasted budget.
The "One-Man Band" Myth
When you hire an in-house developer for your website, you are asking one person to be an expert in UI Design, UX Strategy, React Coding, Framer CMS, and Technical SEO.
That person practically doesn't exist. If they do, they cost $200k/year. Usually, you end up with a great coder who creates ugly designs, or a great designer who writes terrible code.
With our agency, you get a specialized squad for a fraction of the cost of one employee. A dedicated designer handles the visuals, while a React engineer builds the architecture. You get perfection at every layer.
