What do front-end freelancers do?

Question

Freelance

I know only 1 freelancer. PHP developer. Well, everything is clear here, he writes scripts for the backend, always necessary. I study frontend as a hobby, I like it. And I thought: why not try to freelance in the future? But the problem is: people have free or cheap templates, all kinds of wordpresses, etc. And that's it, the site is done, it remains to pay the backend developer. So what is a front-end developer to do? Create templates to get very little money?

Answer 1

there are free or cheap templates, all sorts of wordpresses, etc. And

In this case, designers and backenders also have nothing to do: after all, there are ready-made templates and WordPress.

Answer 2

And why do you consider ten thousand dollars or what thousands that a good template creator cuts per month as small ones? He rivets templates, and money drips, today a thousand bucks, tomorrow a thousand bucks, like a penny, but it pleases, of course, you can’t live luxuriously with that kind of money, but it’s quite possible to exist

Answer 3

It seems to me that if the template is paid and popular, the money may turn out to be far from small. Five old women - a ruble ...

Answer 4

In my opinion, you somehow don’t quite understand the difference between the work of a layout designer and a front-end dev, a layout designer is just creating templates and “pulling” them onto a CMS, a front-end developer works in a slightly different field of activity - creating interfaces, working with data, etc. d., most often through js. Guys from the first category, if not pros in their field with a good rating on the stock exchange and a client base, get 100k only in dreams, for a front-end developer, this is a junior + / middle salary
