This is exactly what I was looking for! I am about to have my first client and needed a little help on going about this project. I’ve been self taught, learning off and on, for the past 5 years. After many obstacles I faced, like imposters syndrome, I am finally going to dedicate my extra time to go full force!

Hi Dylan. Thanks for the helpful video. I’m just starting out and I’m trying to understand the best approach towards paying for hosting and domain name.

@dylanalbertazzi

2 жыл бұрын

You can. I love Squarespace and Wix for that because updating on their own is really easy. The other option is to set up a monthly 'maintenance fee' where you are paid monthly to make sure the site is running properly and do any small updates the ask for. It's a win-win bc it gives the client reassurance - no one wants to scramble to find a developer when their site is down and it's relatively passive income for you!

Hello, great video and learned a lot but was just wondering is you use monthly payments or just how you do the payments in general.

Thank you so much for this information. This is EXACTLY the content I was looking for except for ONE thing I'm still a little worried about. You see I've designed websites, but I've never actually deployed one. Heres a couple of the things I'm wondering: - Hosting is a reoccurring fee. How do I go over that with the client? Deciding where to host their website and how they will manage the monthly fee and all? - If the client already has a website and domain name, how would I switch their page out with the new one I've created?

@dylanalbertazzi

Жыл бұрын

Hey NightOwl, good questions. It's standard to have the client pay for the hosting fees... shouldn't be any backlash there. As far as where to host, it depends. I like Wix and Squarespace for simple sites but if you're a designer those tools might be restrictive for you. Transferring the domain is common and is slightly different depending on where you host. There are plenty of tutorials that will help you out once you decide on a hosting provider.

What's the difference in you using serverless framework vs aws amplify? Really excited to shift from server setup myself (although I like that stuff a bit) to these kinds of easier to maintain technologies!

@dylanalbertazzi

3 жыл бұрын

That's a great question! First off, serverless framework is cloud provider agnostic, you can use it with aws, azure, etc. Both overlap quite a bit because they use/are infrastructure as code (hence being easy to maintain). I think of the serverless.yml file, which is the heart of serverless as an easy to write cloudformation template. Amplify abstracts any cloudformation away from you. For practical use, if you want to get started in the cloud I would use amplify because they make it really easy to get started and hook up the front and back end. And as you get more comfortable with cloud concepts learn serverless framework and consider it for projects that will need to scale. Serverless makes it easier to customize more complicated architectures. With that said both are fast growing projects, and will likely add a lot of functionality in the next year! -Dylan

I wrap that up into hosting costs. They are ultimately responsible for paying that. Wix has some good features for making that process simple with clients. I recommend making the site on the clients Wix account and then adding yourself as an admin.

Great Explanation ! I have been searching this since a month. Its a better start for a beginner. But have a question, do you deliver the site to client by transferring it to his email or by any other way. And last one do you need to teach them about making changes in website wherever they need?

@dylanalbertazzi

Жыл бұрын

If you're using Wix and Squarespace your can either set up the account under the client's email and add yourself as an admin, or transfer afterwords. As long as you get paid both works. You can teach them how to make changes. You can also charge a monthly 'maintenance fee' to make changes when they come up. Or charge an hourly rate. The maintenance fee provides more value to the customer if you're doing SEO for them because you're adding value every month.

question: While getting a domain or the CMS provider who is paying for it and at what stage of the development? When registering to CMS who gets the credentials to maintain and update the page? If the page showcases a gallery of some sort, a lightbox, how does a client create more galleries and uploads more pictures? Am I as a dev responsible for such updates?

@dylanalbertazzi

The client should pay for all services. You can point them on how to set up an account etc. Then in the case of the CMS make yourself an admin. The other option is to build the website yourself then transfer ownership once it's complete and they've paid.

might be of a noob question but how do you transfer the website to them? ssh keys?

The courage to ask a 'noob' question is a sign you're on the right path. If you use wix or square space there is a button in the admin panel to transfer ownership.

Hey Kajean, ... that's kindof like asking how much a car costs, it depends. If you're going to do something for a small business, let's say a chiropractor who needs a landing, about, and contact page. And it's your first website I'd charge $300. If you think you can make them the best chiropractor website in town I'd charge at least $1000. If you're new start small and work up... you'll get there. Also, pricing is very subjective. If you're the best at what you do you can price based on value (not hours) and charge significantly more. If you have a specific example I can give more guidance.
