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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
"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!
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?
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?
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.
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 ;)
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?
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!
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!
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??
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?
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
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.
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?
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.
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 :)
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
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.
So true!
That was a gold nugget, man
Great
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.
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 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 😂
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.

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?
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.
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.
How do you feel about reoccurring payments instead of 1 payment?
I'm doing that right now
Thank you very much for sharing. You are the best ❤️
No problem 😊
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
Great to hear :D
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 ❤️
Thank you for your Wordpress tuts. Learned a lot about building custom websites from those.
Great to hear!
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!

Nice idea about pricing. And i like to see more this type of content
Great to hear, thanks
Nice video Adrian!
Thanks!
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.
Great video, loved it.
Thanks!
Amazing, so helpful for people that are just starting!
Thanks!
Love your advice here man!
Thanks Kyle!
Precious information, thank you.
Great video! Great explanation
Very interesting, thank you
Good to hear :)
Cool portfolio. Adrian, will there be any topic with the mechanism of buying / selling goods? It would be interesting to see.
nice video, btw did u do any projects without having to do the design, just the development part ?
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
"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 os much for your transparency. really helps
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

I'd be interested to here how, did you capture the drone footage for the winery? Did they already have 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?
Extremely informative 👏
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?
Nice video... Really helpful..
Good to hear :D
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
debugging and googling until such time as a solution is found is how I would go about it!
@@AdrianTwarog i googled soo much but i am not getting an answer for this
do you make all the figma designs? also you mentioned "custom videos" are you the one doing these videos?
Very helpful. I’d like to see a deeper dive into how the prices are calculated. In other words how to quantify? Thanks!!!
Excellent thanks.
You are welcome!
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!

👍👍
how much time to take complete each project 🤔🤔
That's a whole nother video
Question..what software do you use to edit and cut videos?
Thanks, that got my juices flowing. Now I can justify my price tag.
I was searching for something like this.....are you reading my mind? 👀
:D
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??
Amazing Video

Hey!! Please make a video on how to launch a custom coded website/dashboard!!!🥺🥺 love the content btw!!
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.
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
The right question is how you get deals with those companies and what about competition ?
That question is worth an entire video!
Hi, what font are you using?
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.
well Informative

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
This guy's body language level is: labrador retriever.
Hey what do you use for hosting
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?
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.
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!
Bro took design from gta to that boat website :D
Me I ask what is this 5:05?
Name please

How Much Are You Charging For Monthly Recurring Revenue?
Like $2000
$1500
$1000
$500
$150??
I am interested custom website development
How you get clients?
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!
holy hell, were these solo'd?
That’s a good question, worth’s an entire video
*me trying to repetitively scroll down the websites from the video*
How much will you charge me for a SaaS website?
Depends, are you trying to sell $10,000 per year or per month with your SaaS, the answer to that question helps better understand what sort of investment you should make in its site.
i like the part where he tells us how much to charge for websites
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks!
How do you manage time for all the stuff? 🤔🧐
set a timetable, allocate blocks to do things, and get it done. Its amazing how much free time I used to waste just, browsing, watching tv, etc
@@AdrianTwarog ok thanks. I will try to follow it!
😳
:D
Yooo mrbeast!! Sup?
❤
why you move like that
Website designing skills are assumed to be valuable nowadays
Bro I said 1000$ to my clients and is expensive
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
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.

Your prices are too high for such a thing
They are only going higher!
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. :-)
