Hiring a Freelance Web Page Developer
Make the right business connections in the world’s
fastest-growing freelance marketplace.
A web page developer is a combination of a creative designer and a programmer. Web page developers work to assemble creative and function elements into a completed site. While a freelance web page developer isn't generally the person to hire to create an entire website concept from scratch, he can help you make changes to your existing site, often at a much lower cost than you'd spend hiring a freelance web developer to create an entirely new site for you.
A qualified freelance web page developer will have a good understanding of all website elements, including markup (HTML/XML), client-side and server-side scripting, web graphics and typography as well as multimedia formats. A freelance web page developer should know when to use CSS and when to use HTML to best optimize a site. He should know when a site would best benefit from Flash or Java, and he should know when using Flash or Java would take away from the functionality of the website.
An experience freelance web page developer will have lots of previous work samples available at his disposal to show you the quality and integrity of his work. Since your website is crucial to your online business, you want to make sure you hire someone who has a solid past record of providing high quality functional work to his previous clients. Usually a thorough browsing of a freelance web page developer's previous work samples will give you a good indication of whether or not he is qualified to tackle your project. If his work is sloppy, you will definitely want to go another way.
When hiring a freelance web page developer for your business website, you could greatly benefit from hiring someone experienced in your industry. Although the standards of web page development are the same across the board, a web page developer experienced in working for websites geared toward your market can help you better target your web page layout to your site visitors. Someone experienced in your industry will already know what your customers are searching the web for, what sort of interaction they want, and what types of contact forms, shopping cart softwares, rating systems, forums or other options could benefit your business.

Testimonials
"I took a chance one day when I was flush and sent a few bucks to gain access to the Go Freelance Professional Edition. Since then, I've edited a sales letter, a follow-up letter, an 11-page Web site, and a brochure. I'm 'on call' to do pinch-hit proofreading for a medical newsletter editor in Florida ..and I've landed a gig editing a new Canadian magazine coming out this fall. All this from taking a chance on Go Freelance."
