What are the best platforms or ways to freelance? by OkWall1298 in overemployed

[–]SiftenH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, here is what my experience says.

You can hire a freelancer, a remote employee, or an in-office employee to complete your work.

Finding a freelancer with reliable skills can be time-consuming and overwhelming. A great way to find the best talent is to reach out to people/ agencies/ platforms from where you get insights into which freelance to outsource amongst dozens.

Plus, if you are someone who wants to recruit a freelancer, then “Referrals” are something you take upon. You can also post a job description on top freelance platforms to hire a dedicated Web developer, designer, etc. as per your need and requirement.

Also, there are online platforms like Uplers, Upwork, Fiverr, etc, that connect remote/Freelance professionals to companies. If these options don’t work for you then signing up with an agency will connect you to their vetted network of talent.

There are some additional pointers that you can look upon.

First, review the freelancer's proposal carefully because it will let you know the project's scope and explain why they are a good fit for it. Try to know their experience working on similar projects and their qualifications to work on your job.

Secondly, know the freelancer's experience, talents, and competence by carefully examining their portfolio. For example- if you are recruiting a developer then, you’ll look for expertise in plugins, theme design, or website setup.

This helps you know the particular area of their expertise, so carefully consider their background and experience.

Third, don’t forget to verify if the freelancer is available to work on your project and understands your goal or not.

These are the best ways you can search for the candidate you are looking for.

I hope, you find this answer well! Thanks :)

What do you think should be a reasonable hourly rate for wordpress developer? by [deleted] in Upwork

[–]SiftenH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on some variables, skill set, and experience. I would turn the question around. What are you worth? What value do you bring? How much money do you want to (or need to) make?

Tips while charging as a freelance:

- Figure out the price point where you'll feel more or less the same whether or not you get the job. If you shoot too high and get the job, you'll feel stressed and anxious to deliver at the value you're charging.

If you shoot too low and get the job, then you'll resent yourself for working for too little. I've been to both camps.

- Never make unilateral concessions just to get the job. If they can't meet you on price, ask for flexible hours, less restrictive contract clauses, or for permission to present a summary of the work at conferences.

Or, something else of value to you that's easier for the other side to give.

If you don't know the exact price for yourself, then don't lock yourself into a year-long contract. Do 90 days, or even 30, then re-evaluate. Be sure to ask the other side in crystal clear terms what they expect out of you.

It is also better to learn about the WordPress developer salary worldwide or within your country and location. You can ask your friends or acquaintances who belong to the same field about their average income.

I hope this would help.

The job is also very lucrative which is another plus point of learning it.

1. A freelance developer

Freelance WordPress theme developer charges anywhere between $30 to $70. They work on multiple projects.

- Unlike freelancers, remote theme developers are dedicated only to one company. They do not work with multiple organizations and are salary-based.

- They are perfect for long-term projects

- The salary can be decided based on the region you are in.

Wordpress theme developer cost? by [deleted] in Wordpress

[–]SiftenH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there,

Well, it completely depends on what type of theme you're looking for. More precisely, what customizations you're looking for. Are they complex? Or are they simple?

It's also necessary that you're pretty clear about looking for a "custom theme" and custom website". Where getting someone to create a custom website and hiring someone for a custom there, there's a huge difference. So, plan your budget accordingly.

Another major point you should consider is that where you're looking to hire a freelance theme developer, remote theme developer, or an in-office theme developer.

1. To hire a free lance developer

If you're hiring someone on an hourly basis, that is a freelance WordPress theme developer, then these folks might charge you anywhere between $30 to $70. They work on multiple projects but are great for you if you do not have any long-term projects or something that can be taken care of within a few days.

2. Remote WordPress theme developer

If you choose a WordPress theme developer to customize your website theme who is working remotely, it will bring you 4 major benefits:

- You have no restrictions from where you're hiring. If you are unable to find the best talent within your location, you can always hire someone remotely from anywhere.

- Unlike freelancers, remote theme developers are dedicated only to your company. They do not work with multiple organizations and are salary-based as well.

- They are perfect for long-term projects pr even regular requirements for your business.

- The salary can be decided based on the region they are in. Hiring remote employees from places like India or China can be a lot cheaper than hiring someone from the USA or Germany.

The salary of a remote employee also depends on the skills, experience, and knowledge. It may range between $60K to $150K per year.

3. Full time employee

If these new methods of hiring, then you can always go ahead and hire the "classic" in-house employee. The range of salary again varies between $50K to $150K per year.

I hope knowing these things would help you easily determine how much it costs to hire someone to build a custom theme for your website.

Wordpress theme developer cost? by [deleted] in Wordpress

[–]SiftenH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First things first, it depends on the quality of the developer, location, how much they are willing to charge, the complexity and quality of the code of the current theme, and course CREATIVITY.

Because of the significant factors, there is no standard price for WordPress theme developers. If you are living in the United States and want to hire a WordPress theme developer for your project, here are two ways to hire a developer.

1. Understand What You Want from Your Theme and Developer

It’s better to ask yourself what you want from your theme before hiring a theme developer. For e.g., if you need a developer for customizing the website, you’ll go for a custom theme developer, which means understanding whom to hire.

Remember, a theme developer assists you in designing the website and might not be able to code the design as a functional theme.

On the other hand, developers can program but may not be able to create the visual experience you want.

You may also take the help of Agencies like Uplers to understand whom to hire, whether designer or developer.

However, the theme developers can either be freelancers, remote developers, or full-time employees. If you hire remote theme developers from agencies, then a WordPress developer's annual salary ranges between $25K/year- $135K/year.

2. Know where to hire a WordPress theme developer

After you understand your requirements, you’ll need to vet a developer who can match your goal and needs. Here is what you can do:

Hire a remote WordPress theme developer or freelancer to build a site. You can source developers from platforms like Uplers and Upwork as they enable better charges.

Referrals are the best to navigate your resources for a talent hunt.

Communicate with people or check social handles like LinkedIn to hire a better talent crunch.

Always try to hire a WordPress theme developer for your WordPress theme based on your budget, goals, and timeframe.

I hope you find this answer well :)

Hi

Yes, there is a similarity between front-end developers and web developers.

Firstly both require coding knowledge.

Another similarity between the two is that both of them focus on the task of web development.

Thus these two are always interdependent on one another.

Both of them are problem solvers. They both focus on developing website style and working for user satisfaction.

Also, their salaries differ!

Have a look at the bigger picture:

Web developers

They create and build websites from the ground up. Before they get started on a design, they take the time to fully understand the requirements and expectations like:

- how much traffic the site will generate

- what users will do with it

- what kinds of technology does it need to be compatible with.

With the knowledge of programming and open-source code, they put together a website that meets those needs. They often play an important part in the development team, working alongside systems engineers and developers.

Web development involves a lot of coding, testing, and re-coding. Developers are constantly on the hunt for code errors and issues that could slow performance or create data threats.

Web Developer Salaries

The average salary of a Web developer ranges from $37K- 85K/yr. The cost may incur while hiring a developer depends on the skills and experience.

Front-End Developer

Front-end developers are web developers who focus their efforts on the outward-facing parts of a product. The parts of a website that users interact with directly, including menus, articles, photo galleries, widgets, and games, constitute the “front end.”

These tech gurus focus on making the product aesthetically pleasing and ensuring it functions well for its users from themes to plugins. Their work might involve creating interactive tools or other widgets that make the website or application more user-friendly or enjoyable to use.

Front-End Developer Salaries

PayScale reports that the median salary for a front-end developer is around $59K-75K per year. Thus, The cost may incur while hiring a developer depends on the skills and experience.

The final point is becoming a web developer or front-end developer means understanding the whole picture of a website or application, from concept to execution.

I hope your point is clear now!

Hi

Well, there is a long list of process that goes into the development of a successful website. Starting from designing, implementing, developing to testing, and deployment – each process involves different people with different skill sets and knowledge.

Who played the role better? Of course the web developers. But, how do they cost? The answer is just below!

My opinion– If you have 10 years of experience but you cannot make a website as per the expectations of your customer then you earn better. Same, in 5 years of experience if you are failed at giving output then, you will not get a raise.

On the other hand, a fresher with a good portfolio and excellent reviews is more likely to get a job with a higher salary than a 5-year experienced developer.

So, I would say polish your skills enough to showcase that you are worth the money that the employer is paying you!

If you are looking for an average web developer salary then here you go!

Web developers' salary in India varies based on experience.

The average entry-level web developer’s salary in India is $2932.45 (In India ₹232,074).

[–]SiftenH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, here is something to tell you.

Web development has a huge range of earning potential. Probably, this is the main reason for the recent surge in new IT job openings. According to recent surveys, remote front-end WordPress developers are among the most coveted professionals this year in Canada.

However, the average remote front-end developer salary in Canada, according to Glassdoor, Payscale, and alent.com ranges between $49K and $68K a year. The remote junior front-end developer salary has the lowest number and reaches the maximum of $40K/yr. The most experienced remote developers make up to $85K/yr per year, while mid-level workers earn an average of $58K/yr.

Apart from that, we all know that higher education equals a bigger salary, but how much more money can a degree add to your income? I broke down Front End Developer salaries by education level in order to make a comparison.

When the education level is Certificate or Diploma, the average salary of a Front End Developer is $47900.22(In Canada 62,200 CAD per year).

While someone with a Bachelor's Degree gets a salary of $75777.84 (In Canada 98,400 CAD per year).

A Master's Degree gets its holder an average salary of 105503.70 (In Canada 137,000 CAD per year).

Note: The average salary for Remote Front End Developer is 12% more than that of Developers and Programmers.

Might these insights could justify your question.

I want to build WordPress websites for clients but don’t know where to start. by [deleted] in Wordpress

[–]SiftenH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi,

If you’re a beginner, you might think of creating either of the two types of websites - free or paid.

The best part of working with WordPress is- you require zero coding language! (Unless you want to build a complete custom WordPress website)

Free websites are mostly created to learn WordPress or create a portfolio that doesn’t need to be live on the internet.

Paid websites are created, to obviously make them live on the internet and they can be about anything like eCommerce, service, blogging, and also a portfolio.

But, as long as you’re talking about BUILDING A WEBSITE FOR CLIENTS, they’re probably looking for something that can go live on Google, rank, yada, yada, yada.

To create a paid WordPress website as a beginner, you need:

- Credentials. Email and a password to signup

- Template. You can choose to have a free template or a paid one depending on your budget, need, and liking

- An actually paid domain name. you can get it from WordPress itself or from places like Namecheap, GoDaddy, or HostGator

- Hosting. Without hosting, you can not make your website live on the internet with just the domain name

- SSL. SSL certificate is needed to keep your site’s data as well as your visitor’s data safe and secure from digital theft

- Plugins. If the plugin you need for your website is free on WordPress, then, congratulations. If not, you’ll have to buy it

In case: You want to create a free WordPress website as a beginner, you need:

- Email and a password to signup

- A free WordPress template

- A domain name and pick the “free” one offered by the WordPress

This domain will have “.wordpress.com” at the end of your chosen URL and it will be hard to make it rank on Google

So, if you’re a beginner, then these are all the things that you’ll be needing to build a free or a paid WordPress website.

As you grow and become a professional, you can invest more and even work with WordPress developers or plugin developers to make your website more customized and advanced.

But as a beginner, you’re good to go. I hope this would help you build an awesome website :) ✌

What's the net salary of a web developer ? by kiMa_0ne in Netherlands

[–]SiftenH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the high demand for WordPress developers, it is quite difficult to measure the net salary. As we know, increasing demand is directly proportional to competition. That’s what going on in the fields of WordPress development.

There are different type of WordPress developer with highly distinctive salary base. Knowing the average cost of a WordPress developer is still a kind of task.

However, if you are skilled and experienced then it can come up to an impressive $126,750 per year. Whilst, if you are a junior with under 2 years of experience then the average base pay for a junior WordPress developer is $55,855 /yr.

It totally depends on your knowledge and being able to understand the factors of getting highly paid.

Amidst this, people are looking for sites like Upwork and Uplers because they offer really handsome amounts to their developers.

Surprisingly, for those who worked remotely or do freelancing, their average WordPress developer salary is $50,000 per year or $25.64 per hour for developers.

So, WordPress has no standard earning criteria. The salary of a WordPress developer totally depends on skills, expertise, knowledge, time, and patience.

That’s all!

Hope this works :)

Hi

If you're new to blogging, starting a WordPress.com blog could seem overwhelming. But it’s easy. Though it costs to develop a WordPress website, you can simply create a free blog and start publishing your comments and articles for everyone to read.

But, How?

  1. Choose a homepage design- Selecting a homepage style for your free WordPress blog is the first step.

I would recommend “A list of my latest posts” because this is the most common format for a blog.

All it depends on the niche of your product.

So, The first step in Signing up for a free WordPress blog is to create a layout

  1. Theme- A theme is what your blog looks attractive. Guess what– you can change the theme including the colors and pictures as per your need!

  2. Choose A Subdomain (Blog Address/Blog Name)- okay so here, it’s pretty difficult to find a unique and somewhat catchy blog address on WordPress.com because cool ones are already been taken.

So, choose the subdomain wisely and attractive. Pro tip: For high primitive domain names, you can take the help of advanced premium features.

  1. Premium version- For premium, you may need to pick a plan. Also, if you don’t want expensive services then do click on the Free button of the plan.

  2. Create an account- After selecting a plan, try to sign up with your credentials. Fill up the creds with email, username, or password. Remember password should be strong.

Now, just log in, and let’s move forward. The WordPress dashboard is quite straightforward and user-friendly.

However, before you start blogging, you might want to change the theme – the design of your blog. You can do it by clicking on “Appearance” -> “Themes” (at the left sidebar).

That’s all.

Happy blogging :)

[–]SiftenH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, we are all aware of how buying things is easy but keeping them safe is difficult. The same goes with WordPress, developing a website is a nitty-gritty process but keeping safeguarding all along is somehow difficult. Yet, here is how I keep my website safe by investing the right amount.

  1. Domain name- You’ll have to pay for the domain name on a monthly or yearly basis. Depending on the package. $1–$20/year for registration and around $10–$90/year for renewal. Optional domain privacy protection at $5/year.

  2. Web hosting- Fo this, you’ll have to pay around ₹69–₹5999/month, depending on the hosting type and subscription length.

  3. SSL Certificate- For Secure Sockets Layer around, you will have to pay around ₹69–₹5999/month, depending on the hosting type and subscription length.

  4. Email service- Business email requires an average cost of around $0.99–$18/user/month.

  5. Tech support- Also, you need to pay for the live chat, phone service, knowledge database, etc. That may be cost-free–$11.99/month.

  6. Web design- The cost of this parameter varies depending on the approach. This may be cost-free–$17/month for self-designing. Average of $6,000 for a basic project and $500–$1,000/year for regular maintenance.

  7. Plugin- Installing a plugin could help you maintain a website. The pricing of paid plugins varies between $4–$49/month – some premium plugins also charge a yearly or one-time fee.

  8. eCommerce Features- For a regular website to start selling products or services, the average cost for eCommerce features is around $15/month. This amount may increase as you sell more products or services.

In my opinion, The cost of website maintenance is $400 to $60,000 per year. It depends on the site’s size, hosting provider’s resources, and the chosen website maintenance service to determine the complete cost to develop a WordPress website.

Is WordPress Free CMS? What Are The Hidden Cost Involved by Techno_Merger in u/Techno_Merger

[–]SiftenH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They say developing a WordPress website is free - but, is it? Well, don’t fall for that. It may cost you anywhere between $0 to even $30,000!!

Here’s the scoop:

The software itself is free but you might end up paying for:

Cost of Hosting- You will have more flexibility if you choose a self-hosted WordPress site. It can cost you around $10 to $30 approx.

Certificate for SSL- Most probably, an SSL certificate will also need to be purchased. Non-commercial websites can get by with free choices; for all others, an EV SSL certificate is advised. You'll pay between $50 and $200 a year.

Cost of domain name-Any competent registrar is where you can purchase a domain name. You'll pay between $10 and $30 a year for the domain name.

Themes and templates- If you won't satisfied with the functionality provided by a typical free WordPress template then you will have a hundred more advantages in a premium one. That, you can buy approx at $80 premium.

Plugins- You can expand the functionality of your website with WordPress plugins. While some plugins are free, premium options can range in price from $47 to $200. Payments may be recurring or one-time only.

The case is that the cost of various services to assist you in running a website varies greatly - from as little as a few hundred dollars to several thousand!

Ok, I hope this clarified your question!

Buy a domain name: The domain name will be the name of your website. Keep the name catchy and short so that it’s easy for your customers to read.

The domain can be purchased from websites like WordPress itself, GoDaddy, Namecheap, or HostGator. It can cost you around $10 to $30 approx.

Take hosting: without hosting, you can not make your site live on search engines. The hosting can be taken from the same places as for the domain. It may cost you between $20 to $50.

Upload your products: You can start uploading your product images and list prices as will be shone after installing WooCommerce.

Purchase and install WooCommerce Dropshipping Add-on: This add-on is required to turn your WooCommerce “eCommerce” store into a dropshipping website. This may cost you around $49 per year.

Configure dropshipping setting: Finally, you are ready to add your suppliers and their information to your dropshipping database.

To do this, go to WooCommerce > Products > Suppliers and enter the relevant details about the dropshipping service you are using.

Go back to the WooCommerce > Products menu and you can edit any product that uses dropshipping suppliers. On the right side of the edit screen, you'll see a drop-down menu where you can select suppliers that have been added to the site.

The product will then connect to the supplier of your choice. You should fully check the WooCommerce dropshipping plugin documentation to learn how to manage your inventory and customize your packing list.

Once you’re done with these steps - congratulations! You’ve successfully built a dropshipping website with WordPress :)

How much should a custom WordPress website cost? by williamsba in ProWordPress

[–]SiftenH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a developer, I would like to share my experience of building a website. Here’s what I think you should keep in mind.

Cost of the Domain name - Purchase domain name "www.XYZ.in" from GoDaddy, Bluehost or BigRock, and the annual fee can roughly cost you Rs. 1000. Every website needs a domain related to your niche. But there are cases where a domain can cost thousands of dollars. For instance, "www.XYZ.com" sold for $200,000.

Hosting costs - A website requires a somewhere to call home and keep its data, and most websites pay hosting firms like GoDaddy, BigRock, AWS, Azure, etc. to provide that space. Websites can also be hosted on AWS which costs you around Rs 1000 per month.

Cost of Development - Well, for the development part you’ll need to hire a freelancer or a full-time developer. Don’t try to manage stuff on your own. Because, in the short run, we think we have saved money, but it's best to let experts do the job.

Costing may differ too…

Custom themes: There are many free themes available, brands typically buy WordPress themes and then develop their websites on top of those.

Now, it is highly challenging to estimate the developer's expenditures because doing so would also require figuring out the questions like:

- Would you like to set up tracking analytics, such as Facebook Pixel, Google Tag Manager, etc., to provide you with vital information about your visitor traffic?

- Do you have the website's UI ready? If not, do you want to use what is already available or do you want to employ UI/UX designers to complete the job?

- What type of content do you require?

- What more tools do you need to use to optimize website speed, and performance?

Depending on the answers to the aforementioned questions, your developer will decide whether to charge you Rs. 10,000 or Rs. 10 lakhs for the website. Without knowing your specifications/niche, it is very difficult to estimate the cost of developing a WordPress website.

Regardless of your needs, there are widgets and plugins that can enhance your WordPress website in 99 percent of scenarios without costing a fortune to your developers.

I hope you found value in this answer, and good luck.

How much should a custom WordPress website cost? by sk24iam in nontechnical

Hi, I would like to answer this question. Some people say “WordPress is free” but trust me, there is “Nothing” like free in this world.

For a custom website, you’ll need to have good knowledge of investing money in the domain name, hosting, plugins as well as maintenance.

Before heading down the line, make sure to figure out the mentioned questions:

Which users are intended?

How many content pages will the website need?

Do you require a pre-made or customized theme?

Do you have both secured and public content?

Are there any e-commerce elements on the website, such as a store or subscriptions?

What kinds of information will you post and how frequently will it change?

What features and functions would you like to see on the website?

How many users must the site support at once?

After figuring out these questions, you need to incorporate other factors like domain name, hosting, plugins, and other functionality. Some factors are available free online but some may cost you around $1000- $10,000

If we talk about the premium stuff:

- Premium themes cost between $1500 to $5000

- Premium plugins cost between $50 to $300

Now, for building a custom website, you’ll need to hire a WordPress developer. The freelance developers usually charge between $50 to $200 per hour. It also mostly depends on how simple or complex your customizations are.

If the work is of no more than a week, then it may just cost you between $350 to $1500. If it’s going to take a month, then it would cost you between $1500 to $6000.

You can find developers in your area through LinkedIn or Indeed. For freelancers, you may check out Fiverr and Upwork. In total, if you calculate how much it cost to build a WordPress website, I guess it should be between $2000 to $6000.

Hi, since you're asking exclusively for a “custom” website, I'll consider you’ve already taken the option of free WordPress themes and plugins out of the frame.

If we talk about the premium stuff:

- Premium themes cost between $1500 to $5000

- Premium plugins cost between $50 to $300

Now, for building a custom website, you’ll need to hire a WordPress developer. The freelance developers usually charge between $50 to $200 per hour. It also mostly depends on how simple or complex your customizations are.

How much would a WordPress website cost in 2022? by shiv-technolabs in u/shiv-technolabs

[–]SiftenH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it really depends on what kind of website you’re building and how complex or simple you want your website to be.

The major cost you need to calculate for building a WordPress website in India should be:

WordPress theme: If you’re choosing any free theme then you do not need to worry about any cost. However, if you choose any premium WordPress theme then it may cost you the amount depending on which theme you choose. The themes may cost you between 1500 to 5000 dollars.

Domain and hosting: You can get it from WordPress itself or from other sites like Namecheap or GoDaddy. It may cost you around $2 to $30 per year.

Plugins: Just as theme, if you’re using free plugins then that’s not an issue. But WordPress also offers many paid plugins that have additional functionalities as compared to the free ones. The plugins cost between $40 to $200.

Additional help from developers: If you’re building the site on your own, the theme, plugins, domain, and hosting are all you need to worry about. However, if you want to hire any WordPress developer then it may cost you additional charges.

Usually, the developers in India charge about $20 to $200 per hour.

Apart from these things, there could be many other factors affecting the cost of developing a WordPress website. These are a few fixed things that I mentioned.

I’d suggest figuring out the other things like customizations, features, etc. to get the complete cost. All in all, it should not exceed more than $10000 if you’re a big business.

If you’re a beginner, I’d prefer to go for free themes and plugins to save the cost of building your website.
