Super interesting. It's one of the hardest things to learn how much to charge for your time. Maybe obvious but I would not have thought of charging based on the value to the business rather than just looking at the time I'd spent on it.
Great to see and I love your designs. A lot of people don't realise that $10,000 websites have $10,000 problems, time, meetings, changes they just take longer and have more scope so you are just earning what it's worth. You don't get $10,000 websites with a scope of a $1000 site.
why not? Like he said a big part of the pricing comes down to the value of the site. A site can solve big problems, but that doesn't mean the scope grows at the same rate.
I love the whole concept and also for the insight you shared on choosing a tech stack on the completion of projects. The main goal is knowing what the clients want and knowing how to solve them, I do have one question though, how do you handle clients who don't want to spend much on a projects.
You have two options, educate them what the value is, and if that isn't possible, then politely decline. Some people will never spend more than a dim on something they don't recognize valuable, and there is sometimes no easy way to change that
I strongly agree with you on that..... Thanks man for the extreme value you share, I'm still new in this field and I have been following you for a while now any advice for me.@@AdrianTwarog
Thank you so much for sharing your portfolio! So much clarity for someone seeking to starting out, esp given it has an Australian context. more videos like this please, thank you
This is really helpful, thank you. Maybe you could do a deeper dive into some of your larger projects? I would be fascinated to see how you go about managing one, from the hiring of photographers, videographers etc.
Nice video! I have a question, What happens when a customer wants to add a product on a custom website for example, who makes the changes? If it is a WordPress they can make the changes them self because it is easier to understand.
Hi Adrian , your content is always awesome as usually :) , please could you make a video to let us know exactly some proven ways to make some good money with freelancing as a developer.. thank you ;)
Extremely helpful video! So who maintains and admins the webpage after you create it? Do you transfer ownership & responsibility of everything once you've created it? Seems like it'd be a great way to make some passive income is to charge them a monthly fee to be responsible for maintaining it.
Are you also charging a monthly rate? When you build a website you have to host it or you leave it to the customer (you just give them the html css js files)? Hosting + domain fees are not to exclude and I believe that the customer is paying for them. But should you add an extra rate on top of that? You are also doing the work to make sure the website is available, maybe linked on a google business... I am seeking some answers mostly for 1k-2k static websites. Nice video now I have more idea on how I could charge on local businesses but I am quite lost on how much I should handle/charge domain, hosting, my managing fees.
Great video. I'm an up-and-coming developer just starting my first professional project. Where do you get your templates for your first couple of projects?
So, what I think is that money is there is developing websites but it requires skill. I'm also in web development, and learned a bit of animations and the only advice by me is to practice to get better, thr next step would be to get clients.
After delivery - how much does the customer pay you monthly to support and maintain each site? Or do you just turn over the final product and let them support it themselves? Did any of those designs include a chatbot or a live chat feature? How much extra would adding those features have cost?
Freelancing is literally you creating a business. What most people do is make connections so that when they do projects they have a design person or a video editing person they know can do those parts for them.
thank you for this video. it's really insightful. does the pricing covers the cost of of domain and hosting? if so, how much does those eat into the the final price?
Hi Adrian, Love your videos! Could you make a video about how one can start an agency like you did? Would love to learn how to start my own business but don’t really know how to go about it and would love to learn as I can. Is it better to code the website from scratch or use website builders such as Webflow and Editor X? These are some of the questions I have. Appreciate all your help and time!
"Doesn't matter if you are using Angular, React, Wordpress, or Shopify - what matters is the result for the customer" - love it! Louder for the people in the back!
thanks, this really helped, can't wait to see more content like this in the future, since most people that watch you are probably beginners maybe make videos about making really small projects like in the 50 or 20 or 100 dollars mark because we can't all start with huge projects like you showed here, thanks again :)
Your work is truly impressive, particularly given that all the websites were created using Wordpress. However, if you desire something more customized with additional features, a custom website would be a better choice. Keep in mind that it will come at a higher cost.
hey in react i am creating a website in when i change pages in navbar with router some images and javascript will not work please give a solution then i need to refresh the page the only that will work
You need to at least double your pricing mate -- you're generating INSANE value for your clients (even with the simple WP templates). You need to be charging for that!
What are the payments plans you give to clients, do you sign a contract with them, dou you make them pay full payments or part payment before you start the project??? You never spoke about that ?? Why??
I’m curious, so I’m trying to get started on upwork and fivver. I’m fairly new but I want to just go for it. When it comes to timelines for delivering a final product how do you establish your timeline? Just based on your confidence level? Also, do they supply you with all of the images and videos, and a preferred color pallete?
Talk to people. class rooms have people filled, the lecturer will have connections to businesses, your class mates might even have parents who run business, put yourself out there
How important to expert in CSS to be working for a company like your? I know HTML and JS(React: CRP, NextJS, Node: express) but it slow me down when it comes to CSS. My question is do I need to know CSS to be a web developer?
Depends, are you trying to sell $10,000 per year or per month with your SaaS, the answer to that question helps better understand what sort of investment you should make in its site.
So, your business model is based on how much a person makes how much you’re gonna make off them. So, if Bill Gates came to you and ask for a website, you’d be aiming at quoting $100 million with that boat logic you were saying in your video. I will just work out my living expenses, and ask a fair price for the time I put in. If you work 40 hours on a project, you’ll get at least 40 hours worth of money. Do you hear yourself speak?
Do you really think that? I totally disagree. In my early days, I was only charging a few hundred pounds (GBP) per website. The amount of time I was spending on them, usually meant that I was almost giving them away. Basic websites from at least £1000 is more than fair… in my view. :-)
Super interesting. It's one of the hardest things to learn how much to charge for your time. Maybe obvious but I would not have thought of charging based on the value to the business rather than just looking at the time I'd spent on it.
It's good to research as that is where most people move towards as they grow in web

So true!
That was a gold nugget, man

Great to hear :D

Yeah there is a bit to organising a team like that, can do
second this, also compared to smaller < $1000 projects, like some of your very first projects.
Thank you for your Wordpress tuts. Learned a lot about building custom websites from those.
Great to hear!
Thank you very much for sharing. You are the best ❤️
No problem 😊
Im a beginner and knowing this will help me alot for sure .
thanks alot
and we would love to see content like this in the future 👍💪🏽
Good to hear!
Can you make a video about how you tackle the design phase in figma? Or maybe share a figma file with all these grouped views?
Can do!
Nice idea about pricing. And i like to see more this type of content
Great to hear, thanks
nice video Adrian !
Do you a video about how you started and got into web development?
that's a good idea, can do that!
@@AdrianTwarog It would be great ❤️
love it. Thanks for making this Adrian
Adrian these videos are amazing. KUTGW!
:D
Nice video! I have a question, What happens when a customer wants to add a product on a custom website for example, who makes the changes? If it is a WordPress they can make the changes them self because it is easier to understand.
They can hire me on a maintenance contract and I'll do the changes, but many times they want to do it themselves, and then never do
@@AdrianTwarog Thanks for clearing that up! What do you do about products that clients want to add? Or maybe other types of entries?
You can deliver any custom website with a cms backend but as Adrian said I also notice the client never uses it and still asks you to do it 😂
Amazing, so helpful for people that are just starting!
Thanks!
Love your advice here man!
Thanks Kyle!
Nice video Adrian!
Thanks!
Precious information, thank you.
Awesome video! How do you get clients and market your business? And please make some content on the business side of development
Great suggestion!
thanks os much for your transparency. really helps
Great video, loved it.
Thanks!
Awesome video Adrian! Just a quick question - did you do the SEO for the websites aswell? Or are you just contracted for the design/development?
Cool portfolio. Adrian, will there be any topic with the mechanism of buying / selling goods? It would be interesting to see.
Great video! Great explanation
How do you feel about reoccurring payments instead of 1 payment?
I'm doing that right now
Hi Adrian , your content is always awesome as usually :) , please could you make a video to let us know exactly some proven ways to make some good money with freelancing as a developer.. thank you ;)
Can do
Super helpful thank you very much!
4:10 dude made design for this one like it's some shop in GTA 5 😀
Was about to say this too, was exactly at 4:10 when your comment popped out to me.
Very helpful. I’d like to see a deeper dive into how the prices are calculated. In other words how to quantify? Thanks!!!
Very interesting, thank you
Good to hear :)
Nice video... Really helpful..

Freelancing is literally you creating a business. What most people do is make connections so that when they do projects they have a design person or a video editing person they know can do those parts for them.
@@TheItchybutthole thnx for clarifying that, i'm worried that i might have to do design work because I've tried it and i really hate it.
never actually! all projects required design
I think it's important to note how much each website takes to finish in each price range
For an expert with 10plus years of experience. A simple webpage, no sales, maybe 2 hours?
Do you have any videos on how to get clients and how do you reach them?
Hey!! Please make a video on how to launch a custom coded website/dashboard!!!🥺🥺 love the content btw!!
thank you for this video. it's really insightful.
does the pricing covers the cost of of domain and hosting?
if so, how much does those eat into the the final price?
Hosting and domain are separate, and depending on the clients needs usually

thanks I'll see what I can do
I'd be interested to here how, did you capture the drone footage for the winery? Did they already have it?
Thanks, that got my juices flowing. Now I can justify my price tag.
The right question is how you get deals with those companies and what about competition ?
That question is worth an entire video!
Amazing Video

👍👍
how much time to take complete each project 🤔🤔
That's a whole nother video
do you make all the figma designs? also you mentioned "custom videos" are you the one doing these videos?
I was searching for something like this.....are you reading my mind? 👀
:D
Question..what software do you use to edit and cut videos?
Me I ask what is this 5:05?
Name please
Hey what do you use for hosting
How would i go about finding client for this? Im in Uni and doing this in a smaller scale would be such a great side hustle.

Bro took design from gta to that boat website :D
This guy's body language level is: labrador retriever.
Hi, what font are you using?
*me trying to repetitively scroll down the websites from the video*
You're right man all developers are selling themselves short we add sooo much value 40k is not enough, charge em 400k next time!
For sure!
How important to expert in CSS to be working for a company like your? I know HTML and JS(React: CRP, NextJS, Node: express) but it slow me down when it comes to CSS. My question is do I need to know CSS to be a web developer?
yes for me i'm currently learning HTML, CSS and JS because it's really the basis if you want to be a very good web designer
How did you sell them your services?
As a full-stack (mern) developer can i sell my each websites? Can you tell me about this?
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter which technology you are using
Nice content! Adrian your video cuts off at the end👉
Maximum watchtime, if people see an ending coming, they usually leave the video early, which causes the video not to perform as well as it could!
How you get clients?
I am interested custom website development
holy hell, were these solo'd?
That’s a good question, worth’s an entire video
i like the part where he tells us how much to charge for websites
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks!
thanks
How much will you charge me for a SaaS website?
Depends, are you trying to sell $10,000 per year or per month with your SaaS, the answer to that question helps better understand what sort of investment you should make in its site.
How Much Are You Charging For Monthly Recurring Revenue?
Like $2000
$1500
$1000
$500
$150??
How do you manage time for all the stuff? 🤔🧐
set a timetable, allocate blocks to do things, and get it done. Its amazing how much free time I used to waste just, browsing, watching tv, etc
@@AdrianTwarog ok thanks. I will try to follow it!
Yooo mrbeast!! Sup?
❤
why you move like that
Website designing skills are assumed to be valuable nowadays
Bro I said 1000$ to my clients and is expensive
😳
:D
noice
Thanks
First 🥇
🥇
I will make you website for $15
interesting price, why that amount?
@@AdrianTwarog for :with sub domain
limited space for a full dynamic website with free domain for 1 year unlimited server space it will be 250$
you charge extra for animation LOL
put the mic a little away from your face
I was thinking of putting it closer! Technically I found quality significantly drops as soon as it’s further away
