    INTRO 
    Wow. That's disappointing. I'm not sure if this will help, but have you thought of marketing the "information architecture / UX" angle? Back when I was doing websites, I hired a professional writer that was very passionate about IA. I needed someone that could organize a site well, not just...

    Glad you found the walkthrough helpful. I'll be sure to fill it out more so it will be even easier to follow. Yes. Namecheap offers cPanel, subdomains, etc. When you're just getting started, you should just focus on having a single site, so the first-tier shared hosting will be perfect...

    Hey all, Freelancing can be a great way to turn a skill into a quick income. In my short time on the forum I've already seen many talk about getting started. In an effort to help, I thought I'd share some easy to follow instructions on how to get started with some of the basics. I'm a full...

    Hello, I'm Ana Gutierrez from Spain,another lost newbie trying to figure it out in the online jungle

    INTRO 
    Welcome! For a while, I supported my family doing web development on Upwork (then Elance), and I found it very doable. Many job postings see a high volume of applicants, but most are promptly ignored because no thought goes into providing actual solutions for the given problems. If you're...

    Quality App Developers (Freelancers)?

    Try contacting the organizer for your local JavaScript meetup. They may know someone personally that they can recommend. I think you'd be more comfortable with the process if you're able to speak face to face with someone local. You're more likely to get burned hiring off Upwork / Freelancer.com...

    Programming Own App vs. Outsourcing

    SOURCING 
    I'm a software dev and here are my 2 cents: 1. Build your prototypes using tech that your future devs won't hate. Why? When your idea takes off, you'll be looking for professional developers, and that will be much easier if you can hand over a code base that is somewhat professionally put...

    Quality App Developers (Freelancers)?

    If you have the $$ go for a dev that is eager to learn and has good experience taking an entire project from start to finish. That dev should be comfortable creating the app and deploying it somewhere, managing a server on a service like DigitialOcean or AWS. You'll also need someone with the...

    Need help for finding someone to develop my App

    Hey, I could take a look at this. I'm a software dev with web app experience. Which means I know how to build apps that run in the browser (mobile or otherwise) and that can be installed on the homescreen of your device. These are called "progressive web apps", and in the opinion of many will...

    Coding bootcamp business - is it worth to start?

    Just test out the idea. Get involved with some local meetups - WordPress, JavaScript, whatever your experience. Get to know some people. Do some free sessions for a full day somewhere. If the cost of venue is too much, ask for a small amount to cover costs. This is a good way to cut your...
