How much time do you spend on layout?

Question

Distant work

Hello!
There is a bitter experience of working remotely as a coder. And I was a little struck by the rates of time to complete the work. To a site where the main page is in the form of a landing page of 10 sections (a gallery with a filter, several carousels, feedback, a dynamic Yandex map with marks, a project calculator, etc.) and plus 5 more pages (a product card with tabs, a catalog in in the form of a product page as in an online store, etc.) requested to be done in 1.5 days!!! This is another plus, everything should be animated and natural with adaptive and without validation errors and everything else.
I understand that I am not yet an experienced specialist, but I wanted to ask just experienced typesetters for how much they would make up such a finished project?
In general, according to the price, they gave such a project 10 hours, or rather 1 hour for a regular section, 2 hours for a section with a slider, 5 minutes for animation, 5 minutes for checking, and plus 1 hour for internal pages! Already now I understand that the time is not correctly calculated even on the inner pages, since it is much more difficult there. Now my speed is such that I do 10 sections as it should be in 2 days, I understand for a long time, but I am confident in my work. How much time do you spend on layout? I just want to know how much faster I need to work)))

Answer 1

Send the customer on a walking erotic journey.
For me, a QUALITY layout of such a project (I looked at an example) will take 4-5 days for 8 hours.
Evaluated the main, internal and various possible jambs with adaptability.
This is on the condition that all content is provided and there is no need to rack your brains.
Stupidly work as a code generator.
In 10 hours there will be a lot of shit code, a lot of jambs.
In general, with such a customer you will be left without money.

Answer 2

As already mentioned, without a layout it's hard to guess. But according to the description, I tend to believe that in 1.5 days you can only nagovnokodit in the style of "well, it seems to work approximately." Need pictures.

Answer 3

It's unrealistic. Even with the use of some tools, such work should be done for at least a week. And even two.
And this is if you pedal for 8 hours.

Answer 4

Without seeing the layout it is difficult to assess, but I suspect that it will be difficult to do it in 1.5 days.

Answer 5

Low-skilled layout is dying out.
Personally, I have been using either frameworks for a very long time or I buy ready-made (high-quality) templates for ridiculous pennies.
You are trying in the market, which requires cheap layout, to work according to the methods of the market, where expensive layout is bought.
Use CSS frameworks (more precisely, master 1 piece properly).
1.5 days is not enough. Take more expensive - as at an urgent rate.

Answer 6

I estimate such work at about 40-48 hours. Roughly speaking about five working days. But it turns out that the layout is of high quality and matches the layout to the last pixel. If such a customer has come across, then let him go to hell, as I understand the process is completely absent. In general, the time of readiness and the clock should be written not by the downloader, but by you. And only then the one who ordered looks at your assessment and decides for himself: look for another or entrust the project to you.

Answer 7

I was a little surprised by the rates of time to complete the work.

Well then, I advise you to stop being amazed as soon as possible, having familiarized yourself with the realities of the website creation market today.
Roughly speaking, studios today have 2 models of earnings:
1. Expensive and exclusive development;
2. Cheap, conveyor, sweatshop using cheap and rapidly rotating freelance slaves, which are unlimited on the market today ("Promotion! Landing for only 10,000 rubles, in just 3 days!").
You, due to the lack of proper long-term experience and a portfolio for exclusive developments, got to the second option. You have few options - either agree to their sweatshops, but on a stable salary and always at work, or go free floating on the exchanges. And there you can already take a period of 5 days, and set the price 2 times more (not 2500, but as much as 5000 rubles). So count - 4-5 landings per month, 20-25k rubles. But can you consistently recruit these 5 landing pages per month, provided that 40-50 snouts are thrown at each such order (often with a rather big portfolio, by the way)? Or is it better to grit your teeth and fuck on the assembly line for a stable 35k?
The answer is simple - give up on the layout of landing pages, upgrade in the JS frontend and break through to foreign customers. Believe me, in the CIS there will always be those who want to make a "landing page for 1500 rubles by morning tomorrow", this market will definitely not disappear without you))
I agree. And the further, the more relevant this phrase will be. But for the market of "creating websites / layout of landing pages" the phase "overabundance of cheap specialists" has already begun. So make up for a portfolio of top-notch landing pages to demonstrate your level, but move on to what is paid and in demand - the client side of the progressive web app.
