You are probably trying to figure out which kind of person to call.
If you typed "who do I call for a website" into Google, you are probably running a small business — or starting one — and you have realized you need a website but the whole web-design industry uses confusing language. Here is the plain-English breakdown.
Web designer = designs how the site looks (layout, fonts, colors, imagery).
Web developer = writes the code that makes the design work in a browser. Often does the design too.
Web agency = a team of designers + developers + project managers. Larger projects, bigger budgets, more overhead.
Freelancer = a one-person operation. Often cheaper, often less reliable (no team backstop if they get sick or busy).
Template platform (Wix, Squarespace) = self-service tools where you build the site yourself from templates. Cheap and fast, but limited.
ThatDeveloperGuy = solo studio operated by Joseph W. Anady. SDVOSB-certified, hand-coded, focused on small business + federal contracting. For most small businesses, that is the right call.
Who you should actually call.
| Your situation | Who to call | Budget range |
|---|---|---|
| Personal portfolio, blog, hobby site | Squarespace or Wix (DIY) | $200-$500/year |
| Small business, basic 5-page site | Solo developer (ThatDeveloperGuy) | $1,997-$4,997 one-time |
| Established business, 10-20 pages | Solo developer or small studio | $4,997-$11,997 one-time |
| E-commerce, 50-500 products | Solo developer (Shopify) or small studio (custom) | $5,000-$25,000 |
| Federal contract, SDVOSB set-aside | SDVOSB-certified developer (ThatDeveloperGuy) | $30K-$147K |
| Enterprise / Fortune 500 | Mid-size agency (15-50 people) | $100K-$2M |
Conversational questions about hiring a website builder.
What is the difference between a web designer and a web developer?
Designer = visual. Developer = code. Many studios do both. ThatDeveloperGuy does both — you talk to one person from start to finish.
Should I hire a freelancer, an agency, or use a template?
Under $500: template. $1,997-$11,997: solo studio. $30K+: agency. Most small businesses sit in the solo-studio range.
How do I know if a web developer is legitimate?
Verifiable GBP with reviews, live portfolio, verifiable identity (LinkedIn, ORCID, SAM.gov for federal firms), no upfront payment without a working demo, clear written quote.
What do I need ready before I call?
Business name + current URL, rough page list, examples of sites you like, target budget, timeline. ThatDeveloperGuy quotes with less but more context = tighter quote.
Do web developers work remotely?
Yes. ThatDeveloperGuy works fully remote nationwide. On-site available across SW Missouri / NWA at no travel surcharge.
Or just call.
