Is it necessary to learn frontend + backend for freelancing, or is one frontend enough?

Question

Freelance

As I understand it, clean layout of small tasks, or one-page sites - that's enough frontend. So it is necessary to study the backend, but how thoroughly?

Answer 1

Frontend is enough. But... there is more money in the backend, of course, but the duration of projects and the responsibility for the error are higher.

Answer 2

Hi, if you want to understand how the server works, then you definitely need to learn, it will still come in handy, for the backend I would advise python, here is the article goo.gl/NAjfFn , about layout and frontend answered here goo.gl/8cO4t3 , I also recommend reading mine last post, good luck!

Answer 3

Freelancing in terms of sites is roughly divided into three categories: web design, layout and backend (although there are more words like “stretch” and “fix” in the course). So choose: either focus on design and layout, or on layout and backend. This is what the soul lies in and what works better. For design, artistic taste is important, for backend, a mathematical mindset.

Answer 4

Absolutely not necessary. I deal only with the front, the last time I touched the backend at the very start (if you do not take scaffolding on the node into account), when I made sites on Bitrix for food. The flight is normal. Normal people appreciate specialists who are well versed in their field.

Answer 5

There is a frontend direction, and there is a backend direction. And to combine them, or to learn both: it makes no sense, because you will know a little there, and a little there. You are either here or on the other side of the barricades. It doesn't matter if it's freelancing or an office.

Answer 6

I'm not sure if it's worth wasting energy.
master one of the popular cms. for most tasks, this is usually enough.
if the order is beyond your power - delegate.

Answer 7

Here it is worth considering how much you want to earn, if a lot, then it costs, no, and one front will do. And full-stack specialists are more valued, but here it is worth considering that enough time must be spent to become one.

Answer 8

If you are going to be engaged in front-end, then I advise you to study the back-end just enough to understand whether it will be possible to pull your layout on some popular CMS at all. And then sometimes they send something that looks like normal, but it’s impossible to use it.

Answer 9

For small tasks - you need to know everything, small projects are done in one.
For large ones, you can work great and earn more, being specialized.
