What do freelancers charge for when creating a WordPress site?

Question

CMS

I want to order a site on WordPress, I'm looking for templates on the ThemeForest site. So I chose the theme I liked, installed it, tweaked the domain, everything works. Why do they take money for freelancers when they install these templates for 15-30k rubles?

Answer 1

Creating a site on WordPress in general does not imply a banal installation of a ready-made theme (which, however, also does not always go smoothly).
In most cases, this is a unique design + layout + implementation of the functionality, and for the full scope of these works, 15-30k is ridiculous money, for which not everyone will undertake to implement the task.
Well, in general, it's like an old joke.
The TV technician was called to fix the TV. He looked and suddenly hit the body with his fist - the TV started working. The master says “One hundred rubles from you” - “One hundred rubles for one blow?!!!!” - “The blow costs 1 ruble. 99 rubles for knowing where to hit.”

We all buy, sell, give, find, throw away only one thing - our TIME. This is the only currency we have.
Some value it more, some less. Money is just a measure. Want to know how much time is worth to you? Take the income for the week, month, year and divide by the number of hours in this period, including sleep, food, vacation, vacation ... in total number of days * 24. And get the price of an hour (you can write the answer in the comments)
Then everything is simple. Need to buy something? Estimate your time costs, including the item "understand the topic", multiply by your cost and compare with the offer of another. Either it is profitable to buy the time and ready experience of another, or not.
Good luck :)

1. Not all users understand what ftp is, unzip the archive and install the script on the server.
2. In most cases, the installation also includes optimization of settings, installation of SEO plugins, anti-spam plugins and security plugins.
3. Not all templates from ThemeForest are easy to install, especially there are many problems with installing demo content. I made a comparison with installing a template from www.templatemonster.ru - there all templates are made according to the same standard and there is an auto-installer, but even they have a paid installation and configuration service. There are topics on TF where even an experienced installer will have to fiddle with the settings and instructions.

Freelancers charge money to implement the required business logic. (Not for installing a template.)

Answer 8

Ready site - it's not just a tense topic. This includes template customization and processing, content filling. As a result, the work pulls for several tens of hours, for which they take money. And there is a proportionality of money with the benefits of the product. As for - I supposedly did it, but for what others take money. So, father, we must also check what you did there. Maybe after you it's easier to demolish it all and put it again. For even in small things there are tricks. Some pictures do not compress, some do not prescribe the https protocol, plug-ins are full of holes or do not include CNC, about 20 nuances can be collected and criteria by which it will be clear whether the site is good or not.
On the same example of repairing the hodovka, I myself took and installed the shock absorbers, it turned out that the shock absorbers are good, but they always need to be compressed and decompressed several times in order to "pump". I did not do this and they only lasted 1.5 years. Who is the doctor here is to blame.
