Who Earns More In Naija: The Application Developer Or Web Designer/develper by kambo(m): 1:49pm On Oct 20, 2006 |
in developed countries web designer's are regarded as code monkeys by core developers cuz of the inferiority of level of complexity a web designer has to face, but in naija , it seems this downlooked folks are charging blood for their services. talk of the millions u have to pay for a 'website' - ( website(naija) : some mindless hack slapped together by some experimental technophile with mediocritic easthetic appeal, basic functionality subpar international ranking) |

Kambo, As a web developer, I take offense to the statements you have put forth, whether or not they are yours. The fact is that, be it a windows app or an online app, the business rules don't make a lick of sense if there is no interface associated with it. It's, as I tell people, like a plane. It can be tricked out 7 ways from sunday, but without a pilot, it is not getting off the ground (unless of course it is an unmanned aircraft, but that's not my point ). Back to the issue at hand, based on what I have found out, I don't think naijans in naija are charging that much for a website, be it a regular site or an app. Prices I have heard (and blv me, I have asked lots ) range from N15,000 to N80,000 *on average*. Only a people or 2 have charged (assuming they were telling me the truth) N1million or more. Granted, there are those who have put the web developer/designer to shame, the same though can be said of the app developer who has written bloated code, crappy code, or code that hasn't been unit tested. I keep telling pple that there is a science to web development. The problem is that not all appreciate who pple do until they get to know it from a distance, not from a 15,000 mile perspective. Back to the statements you have made (because I just can't resist when someone talks without thinking ), I will say this in conclusion: though the web designer/developer may be at the bottom of the food chain, without them, no web app would be what it is. At the end of the day, when I go buying a book on amazon, all I care about is that the site downloads fast, I find the book I want, the purchasing/browsing process be pleasant and that the book gets to my doorstep. I could care less about the JAVA/PHP/JSP, etc that made it possible. Damn it, I just want the site to look good As always, my 2 cents. |

Generally, I wod say most web designers in Nigeria are jokers and these jokers have circulated the idea that a website can go for N15,000, making people not to appreciate ur intent of good quality service when u bill 60k or 80k. They do understand that the sites at 15k generally down play their business or personal worth. 1 Like |

I think earnings depend on your portfolio, quality of your work and professionalism. Don't let other people dull your shine. Know your worth! |
