Hi, i´m a freelance web developer, small agency owner and instructor for six years now. Here´s my experience: How do you get clients? (Comes before How do you price projects)
- Usually from connections from previous work. Any kind of work. I´m a instructor, for example. Some student's ask for my work if they can´t do it. Or old clients recommends my work. Friends usually indicates my work too.
- Internet Marketing myself and my business on Google Adwords and SEO. How do you price projects?
- That´s hard. Too many ways. None is the RIGHT way, i think. Usually i charge R$75,00 to R$100,00 hour (like US$35.00/hour). It´s even harder to predict how much time will be spent in a project. Experience helps a lot here. Do you buy WordPress template?
- Yes, for small projects or projects that don´t demands much customization.
- No, for bigger projects (because i can spend money with my team (i have a frontend designer, a backend coder and a marketing assistant). For projects that´s demand too much customization (startups, business ideas and like) it´s better to code your theme from scratch. How do you price SEO and maintenance?
- The client indicates his monthly budget for the task (site maintenance, for example). My team works X hours according to their budget and our hour rate. |
