Agency vs Partner: What’s Best for Founders Building a Webflow Website in 2025?

You’re a founder. Your to-do list is longer than a CVS receipt. You need a killer website, but you don’t want to play telephone with an agency team—or gamble on a freelancer who might ghost you after the first Zoom call.

I’ve been there.

(Okay, not as a founder, but as the person behind the curtain, the one who actually builds the site while the agency account manager “circles back.”)

Will your project get lost in agency layers? Will you ever speak to the person designing your homepage?

Or…is there a better way?

Let me tell you a story.

I used to work in agencies. I saw founders like you—smart, ambitious, busy—get stuck in a maze of meetings, middlemen, and mysterious delays.

The agency model?

• Lots of people.
• Lots of process.
• Lots of “Let me check with the team.”

Result?
Websites that take months, cost a fortune, and leave founders wondering: “Why can’t this just be simple?”

So, I built a different approach.

HeyAyu: Your Webflow Partner

Not an agency. Not a freelancer. A partner.
Someone who works with you, not just for you.
Fast, focused, and founder-friendly.

Why founders love working with a partner:

Speed

• No “internal approvals”
• I move at founder-speed

Focus

• I work directly with you, not through layers
• Your goals stay clear from start to launch

Flexibility

• Full sites, landing pages, ongoing support
• Clear pricing, no surprise meetings

Agencies are great for:

• Fortune 500 brands
• Big budgets and big committees
• Teams who love weekly updates

Founders (like you) need:

• A site that ships
• A partner who listens
• A process that doesn’t get in the way
