"Why do I need to hire you?"
I hear:
"I'm creative, I can do it myself"
"Designers are too expensive"
While the question is logical, and the comments may be true in some cases, what people fail to realize is that you're hiring a professional for that very reason: they are a professional. Designers may charge a seemingly high hourly rate or a flat rate that makes you take a step back but they are saving you money in the long run. How?
