A freelancer builds it once. We build it and keep changing it.
A freelancer quotes the build, and bills each change after launch by the hour. We post one price to build and one a month, and content changes are part of it.

Use a freelancer if
- You have one you trust, and they have the time.
- You need something built that isn't a business website.
- You'll rarely change it after launch.
Use reddysite if
- You change your site often.
- You want one price, not an invoice per change.
- You'd rather not wait on one person's calendar.
Questions
What does a freelancer charge?
For a small-business site, $500–$5,000 for the build (DEV Community). Changes after launch are usually billed by the hour: $50–$150 an hour (DEV Community).
What does a change cost with you?
Nothing extra. Content changes are part of the monthly: text, photos, pages, posts. New features are quoted first.
My freelancer built my site. Can you take it over?
Yes. We rebuild it and redirect every old address to its new one. Your old site stays up until you say go.
