Comparing ourselves to other options: the honest comparison
· by the Agence Web Premium team, Guéliz Marrakech
Direct answer: you have five options for creating your site: a local agency, a freelancer, a platform like Wix, offshore development, or us. This comparison indicates honestly in which cases we are not the best choice.
A comparison where one company wins all the points has no value. This specifies situations where another option will serve you better.
Us or a Wix-type platform?
In short: Wix if your budget is less than 1,500 MAD and your site remains purely showcase. We whenever SEO or performance matters.
Choose Wix if: you are testing an idea, your budget is very tight, your site has three pages and you are not targeting Google.
Choose us if: you want to be found on Google, you're aiming for real display speed, you need specific features, or you don't want to pay a lifetime subscription.

Us or a freelancer?
In short: A good freelancer can be excellent and cheaper. The risk is availability: if he is sick or overloaded, your project stops.
Choose a freelancer if: you know one recommended by someone you trust, your project is simple, and you have no strong deadline constraints.
Choose us if: you want continuity of service, monitoring over twelve months, and a contact person who can be reached on a Saturday.
We say it bluntly: on a simple showcase website, a serious freelancer at 1,500 MAD does a decent job. Our difference is over time.
Us or a large agency in Casablanca?
In short: A large agency provides resources and a brand. It costs three to five times more and is not a priority for you if your budget is modest.
Choose a large agency if: your budget exceeds 100,000 MAD, your project is complex, you need a dedicated multidisciplinary team.
Choose us if: your budget is between 2,500 and 30,000 MAD, you want a direct contact, and you prefer a response within an hour to a monthly report.
Us or another agency in Marrakech?
In short: Compare on four objective criteria: displayed prices, model before payment, duration of monitoring, and actual speed of the sites delivered.
We will not criticize our Marrakchi colleagues by name. Instead, we give you the method to compare:
- Are prices displayed? If not, ask why.
- Is a model provided before payment? Ask the question directly.
- How much follow-up time is included? Three months or twelve, the difference is considerable.
- Test their sites delivered on PageSpeed. It's free and perfectly objective.
If an agency scores better than us on these four points, take it.
Us or a developer abroad?
In short: For a Moroccan client, development abroad poses problems of language, time zone and recourse in the event of a dispute.
International platforms offer very low prices. Difficulties arise afterwards: communication in English, time difference, lack of recourse, and inability to meet anyone.
For a Moroccan customer, proximity has real value. For a European customer, however, this is precisely what we offer — see our page offshore web agency.
In what cases do we refuse a project?
In short: Budget incompatible with the expressed need, unrealistic deadline, or request contrary to the client's interest.
We regularly decline projects:
- A store with 2,000 references with a budget of 3,000 MAD: impossible correctly, we are moving towards Shopify.
- A complete site in 48 hours: we refuse rather than deliver something shoddy.
- A request for a “Google first position guarantee”: we explain why it is impossible, and some go to a colleague who promises it.

| Foreign developer | 500 – 5,000 MAD | variable | rare | very tight budget, English speaking |
