Boss what kind of design do you do?
Flyers or what?
Thanks for answering.
Whatever the client needs... some client don't know what they really want. Na your job to walk them through.

I've never had to do a backdrop for a baby-shower party in texas. But it's what you give in there that matters.

I'm sure I answered someone here about this kind of thing. What you sell is Value not your skillset.

Your skillset is what begets value.

It actually started from a logo design.


Recently, I saw mtn changed their logo, and I smiled. Person ask me why I smile, I say nothing. But e get why!
Christianity Etc › For God So Loved The World � by niel63(op): 7:12pm On Feb 26, 2022
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son, that whoever believed in him shall not perish but have an everlasting life.

When I tried to check the original meaning of these words, I was marvelled.

Don't misjudge me, if I have to challenge or ask questions about what I already know, it means I want a different answer.

I used the Animate On Scroll library sir, then built components for each type of specific animation style I wanted and wrapped the component I wanted to animate with the animation component.
Good job bro.
However you should take a look at those 2 I mentioned. You'll be happy you did.

Also, I will like you to improve your UI and color management. You have a good eye for minimalistic designs, however you need make them crispier.
Make e dey shine... even in minimalist

I just because of you go do another unnecessary Google query just to prove a point.

1. REPEAT AFTER ME. YOU DONT HATE JAVASCRIPT.
You might be using whatever you are using at work place but from what I've read here, you don't actually hate the language... you just hate it's approach on a very personal relationship and reasons.

Somebody just mentioned testosterone... lol grin grin grin

I get checklist to cross, babe dey talk about testosterone.

Na when you get rest of mind sex dey make sense... otherwise, it's just another bang bang cum race.
Who has time for that now? Unless of course, you get hope say family and friends go sort you out. Otherwise, the race I'm interested in is the one that settles my old age. Being broke young is a serious heartache. Have you imagined what it'll be like when you're old ? That's a chance I'm not willing to take.

Sex can take a long queue biko. angry

For non company projects. I have charged like 300 USD for a simple JavaScript carousel which had like ten lines of code. I however charged someone in Nigeria like 800k to build a WordPress theme. Only 150k was paid and I kuku locked the site. They no send till today. That was the end for me and working for Nigerians.
grin grin grin

That's another thing to talk about. For me, I don't lock client's site oo as long as there's been a commitment even though you owe me.
I believe every reasonable individual should be able to follow through in an agreement. The work has been done, I don already put in my efforts. Keeping, locking or limiting access to the site or project is what I don't do.
What's really the point if you asked me though.

chubbyswit:
you are quite lucky to have Nigerian clients who pay well for your services if what you posted is true because most I have encountered don't.
I don't think it's entirely based on luck bro. I'd go with the fact that it's based on hardwork and trusting your own value.

Honestly, I know how typical Nigerian clients can be but omo, if you know what you know and give them what they know is true, you'll be the number one person they'll refer their friends to.

I've had someone insist that I host his website on my own server... now you see how I technically sold 2 services? Funny thing is, my server has an almost perfect uptime except from when there's an error in the server kennel updates or other minor issues, which most times I enter better SSH and sys-admin mode... not an expert but I know enough to power a solution.

Adding all these, comparing to other services abroad which they might or might not have used before.

The honest truth is to educate your clients on what you proffer as services


Modified: Some of my clients are now requesting I build their private hosting to accommodate all their websites, app and emails. They are all running away from shared hosting. grin grin

I have a client who paid me just 35k for website design in 2015 and as at 2021, she paid about $700... what do you think changed?
Value!

Modified again: Shey you know there are people who wants a wedding website here in Nigeria? Now this isn't a business website or anything. A wedding website. How long do you think they need it for? But they still had it done. Wedding don pass, domain don expire since but the *rsvp* and *qrcode* invite thing I did for them worked. So e no really matter.

150usd in 2 days is something that is 81k, omo I like those type of quick gigs. you are in our group right ?
Yeah Yeah...

What most people don't understand is.

Money is Value.

What you put out there is what will bring in money for you.

What Value are you building? Add a price to it, make your Value unique and you will get the money you put on it.

See my proof of yarns... make dem no think say na lie. I urge myself and everyone to be better each passing day.


Pamper your clients. New or Old. Regardless what they say initially, if you're good they will pay.

@Op
As a freelancer what to charge varies from customers, timeline, and project needs.

for Wordpress, Opencart, Magento, Silverstripe, Joomla and Drupal... I charge between $400 - $800


for Wix, Shopify. I charge between $750 - $1500

for Custom development: it's between $1,500 - $3,500

for custom server setup, VPS configuration, relay email server configuration: it's between $200 - $750


Depending on what you requirmemt is, the aforementioned prices are set to change ooo...

I've actually submitted a quote of $12,000 to a client. Problem was he was bidding for $4,000 as what he can afford. Well, the project is still pending until he gathers enough resources to fund it.

In rare cases, I've actually done a website as low as 40k... (you'll know how quick this will be)

The more money a client pays the more attention I pay to the project. That's called Value for Money.

But the client don't come everytime ooo, so what I do when I don't have any client is, I learn a new thing. You see... Still expanding my Horizon.


FYI: 99.9% of my clients are Nigerians

You will reach a point regardless of what you earn, money at hand quickly means alot. But I can't make you believe you me anyway so
Bro.. don't say much. I can totally relate. It doesn't matter how much you earn. Sometimes you need money that aren't even in what you earn. We call it emergency money.. cos it comes and go.

As as dev myself, sometimes I delve into selected graphics jobs just to settle some bills. And my graphics job, no matter how small. It's $50. So If I run 3 designs in a space of 24 - 48hrs, that's $150. Convert to naira... aboy you go flex weekend small.

A CRM huh

And if you're looking to build that which I saw in both links, your project description no match at all.

1. Commot affordable for your comment
2. Depending on your timeline, you might need developers NOT a developer.

Oh... I remember you want a reasonable and courteous one too.

I have one question. Do you want the same quality as service as both links?

Then, you'll really need to have a very long talk with your developer.
