Need some Portfolio Tips as a Freelance Web Developer?

Follow these 🧵👇
What is a Portfolio Website?

It's a website where you can show your skills, experience, and services to potential clients.

You need to SHOW what you've DONE.

Not TALK about what you can DO.
Don't mention your skills in a rating like:

- HTML 92%
- CSS 87%
- JavaScript 83%

It's completely relative and unhelpful for a client.

What does 83% even mean?

Are you a Freelance Web Developer?

Struggling to get clients?

Here's all you need to know on how to get clients 👇
So many freelancers focus on “getting clients”.

Instead, your focus should be getting the “right clients”.

This CAN make all the difference 👌
Who are the “right clients”?

✅ Clients who you are passionate about helping.
✅ Clients who see value in your services and pay you accordingly.

Nobody wants to work with a client who:

❌ Doesn't pay
❌ Has a lot of demands
❌ Treats you like they own you

Freelance web development pricing tips.

Follow these pricing tips to earn more as a freelance web developer.

ALL you need to know 🧵👇
❌ Too many developers are quick to say $'X' for a 5-page website based on what the “going rate” is.

Or they just charge whatever hourly rate they think is fair for their level.

I’m going to share why I think there is a better approach.
There are 3 main pricing options most web developers choose:

1 → Hourly Billing
2 → Fixed Price
3 → Value-Based Price
