With the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), there is a new debate over whether to use a traditional agency partner or AI for website design and development. One of the key benefits of partnering with an agency is personalized attention to detail (i.e. the human touch). Unlike AI algorithms, humans can carefully consider your unique requirements and goals.
While AI may appear cheaper initially (and certainly has its place in digital marketing), opting for an agency is a strategic investment in your business.
