How can a coder make money freelancing?

Question

css

How to properly organize freelancing? Does it require a permanent job? How to present yourself to the customer? Is it possible to bargain? How? How to learn layout design (together with the layout, this will already turn out to be a whole product)? Interesting other people's experience.

Answer 1

1. The most important thing in freelancing is to meet the deadlines, today this is the main problem. If you can always do the work on time (or earlier) - customers will be drawn to you.
2. Permanent work, oh, how necessary, especially for the first time.
3. As an experienced, but super cheap and fast specialist) Dumping at the beginning.
4. It is possible, but only a little bit. Normal trade will begin with experience and with regular customers.
5. Design is not necessary, and you will not learn it so easily.
What is missing?
1. First of all, you need to learn JavaScript + jQuery and be a front-end developer, not just a coder.
2. Remember, the fattest orders are turnkey orders. So you should have contacts of designers and back-end programmers to outsource some of the work. You can learn some of this yourself, for example PHP + Wordpress, it will make your work easier and make it easier to find orders.

Answer 2

with a minimum division of labor, there are basic professions:
1) web designer
design - idea composition directing, art direction and styling, usability
2) web programmer
transferring designer ideas to js css html php code,
both of these basic professions can be divided into several narrow specialists - including layout designers - therefore, yes, there can be such a profession
and both of these basic professions can be combined into one person,
this is a rarity
, I am just such a specialist, therefore I speak with complete authority and directly
a web designer must know the basics of css html, and a little bit of js and php - but without coding - to understand what bricks everything is made of, to understand the essence of ajax, house, etc.

Answer 3

You need to use your mouth
or hands, that is, with words.
Layout design is layout
