    My freelance web agency website

  • So about a year ago, I wanted to make a transition from being a full-time employee to being a freelancer. First I've created many social media accounts, spread my business word-by-mouth and developed my own website. I have to say that I am really happy I've took the step. To up til now I've had way better results when it comes to developing websites and web applications compared to being an employee: better performance, speed, accessibility, less bugs, etc. I'm just more productive doing freelancing. And normally, being happy makes a human more productive. Compared to being an employee, I feel like I am doing true craftsmanship: building apps for my clients from zero to the last feature. And later on extending them even more. And I am not only talking about making simple websites with WordPress. Some of my mid-large sized projects are custom made with code like Next.js and Laravel. I like to keep my clients under contact so they always come to me to extending features and have a long term partnership. And having written the code myself, I intimately know almost everything of the project, allowing me to pick up where I left off without much effort. This is because I always create a "private readme" and an one page documentation so I know from where I should continue and I also have my own private mini-Notion like SaaS tailored for freelancing.
