How working with purpleplanet is different
purpleplanet vs. working with a freelancer
There are many very skilled individuals to be found on freelancing sites, but more often than not a highly talented developer will be an average designer or won’t know much about conversion optimisation and how small changes to important elements can make a huge difference in conversion rate.
purpleplanet has a broad spectrum of members, our imaginauts, who are specialised and experienced in all aspects of building and marketing successful websites and webshops, and we can always provide the right person for every task and project.

purpleplanet vs. working with another agency
The main reason for hiring an agency is to ensure quality and professionalism in all project phases. Unfortunately, working with agencies very often means slow communication and progress. Sometimes, you will even pay expert rates and get a junior doing the majority of the work.
When working with purpleplanet, you get the best of both worlds; agency quality in a freelancer setting. You can expect only top-level professionals working on your project, and immediate personal attention with fast communication and turnaround.
