What is the probability of getting a project on upwork with such a stack?

Question

Freelance

Good afternoon!
I plan to switch to upwork tightly, but I have one doubt. I am a pronounced back-end php developer, I love and actively use laravel and I can’t stand layout (i.e. screw it up - garbage is a question, but it’s not my thing to type it myself). In my projects I use bootstrap, it is quite enough for my purposes.
Actually 2 questions:
1. Will I be able to find projects in which it is necessary to write the project logic from scratch (on laravel'e if it is chosen by me), take the layout from the customer (or together we will choose one of the ready-made layout options, as there Do these options include?) and work quietly?
2. As far as I understand, upwork sometimes hires remote employees for full time. How much laravel-schiki is in demand there?
Questions 3-4 are not related to the topic, but in order not to create a new topic, I will write them here, probably:
3. How is the code transferred to the customer? I pour everything into my bitbucket storage, demonstrate it to the customer, then get access to his repository and upload the code there? Well, don’t he really throw off the archive?
4. Who is responsible for setting up the server for the "final" project? Does it happen more often that the customer does not hover his head and it falls on my shoulders? It is easier for me to use, for example, LaravelForge for this - how justified can this be?

Answer 1

As for Laravel, I now often see vacancies. And most often serious. If not even from scratch, then large projects. This may not necessarily be full time, but it may be, for example, close cooperation, hourly pay for 30+ hours a week.
Often there are also "visiting" clients who use upwork to find people in a remote state and want to pay past the upwork (which is risky in itself and threatens with a blocked account). If you see a classic "vacancy" according to the description, payment method not verified and a large amount - that's them.
In terms of layout, they either want a human-combine (which I never understood - perhaps they are looking for teams?), Or they have a design in any form. You can also find projects with a regular front-ender. The main thing here is to define the terminology. I myself am still swimming in this, but as far as I managed to understand from stuffed bumps, Graphic designer is our designer, and just designer is a layout designer. They also often write PSD-to-html.
As a rule, the customer simply invites to his rap (bitbucket / github), you push there. Setting up the project either for you or for another member of the team... The customer, of course, rarely does this himself.

1. We go to the upwork and look. https://www.upwork.com/o/jobs/browse/?q=laravel
2. Go to upwork and look at https://www.upwork.com/o/jobs/browse/?q=laravel+backend
3 How to agree initially or after the fact. The main thing is to display the "change" movement in the upwork itself.
4. As agreed initially or after the fact.
