What are the features of a freelance web designer or developer

Hi Friends, now I'm discuss with you very important features for a web designer or developer that he or she must take if they want to be successful freelancer.  Please not that these qualities are not about the web designing or development expertise, but these are the things that play a role for freelancer’s incredible success.  Because everyone can be a freelancer, but not every freelancer can work longer as a freelancer, if not adopt and follow the things they should have.

“ Freelancers are very lucky guys, because they have no boss or head. Freelance gives you a state of satisfaction, but on the other hand it is necessary to carefully manage this satisfaction and maintain the maintenance position.”

Register online at major workplaces.

A good option to find some good customers, but do not take it easy pal, because you are going to wait weeks or months, even some to get a project. Well, some lucky individuals are hired on their first day.

There are many job portals where people are looking for good developers. If you create a good profile, add your experiences, what you did and what you can do as a freelance web designer or developer. Do not get excited and fill the profile with many things. Just add what you have experienced. Be specific, add one more example of their work and links to web pages that we have developed. If you have no previous work to show then set their skills to establish more accurately what to show the customer what you can do.

Active in Social Networking Websites.

Very important for freelancers who are new to try to find good customers. If you are a freelancer, then you happens to newcomers often asked "How to find customers." And you should ask: Do you have any profile on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn? So, is it really important to any online profile or portfolio. If you're nobody, then nobody will like. Get a profile on these websites, follow the tech blogs and see what is happening in the world of web development. Put your participation in any ongoing discussions related web. Show that you are someone who also knows programming. In the profiles, clearly state who you are and what you do. Always use your full name in the professional profiles, rather than short names and false starts because trust from its name.

Some good social networking sites listed below:

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Digg, Reddit, Orkut, Stumbleupon, DZone, Design Float, Technorati, DesignFloat, Delicious

Show what you have and do what you can do.

If you cannot work in WordPress does not try to add it in the portfolio. It will make your resume heavy and customers may think that the most experienced than they originally are. Show what you have and do what you can do. If you do not know how to fix a WP website not attempt to bid on a project in WP websites jobs. Should be more careful in the tender full of projects. New users to bid on more projects without consulting the details of the project and its scope. If you receive any project you cannot do, then you are in step one to ruin your work profile. Therefore, always bid on projects that you are safe.

Communication and Customer Management.

If ca't communicate to your customers then you are in big trouble. Communication is a very important and key tool in building customer relationships. If you use emails or messages to communicate then use the right words in your message, not discuss things related that can not hide their original purpose of discussing. Be specific and give always important what the client is saying and what he is looking for. Customer satisfaction is much more important than doing things problem.

Verify Customers Bio data.

Always try to find the person you are hiring. Sometimes people get involved in discussions false only know their views about their ideas. I always try to find who is elsewhere. To do this, you must have the contact address is being communicated as Email address, Facebook, Skype, MSN or whatever you are using. Put that in Google and let me show you what is related to that person. Ask the person to use a professional email address. If you are still unsure about it or could not find anything about it and then let it go with speed until it reaches an agreement.

Choose the right time may be better for you and your customers.

Are you working at different times each day? Then you are missing something. If a customer is expecting something from you at 10 hours after not deliver at 4 pm. Building a proper time table that should be good for you and your customers. Normally there can be no difference of time and self-employed customers, so we chose the time that can be better for both. Different times during work creates direct communication gap resulting in weak relationship.

Use your own Hosting Server.

Freelance work professionally and you must have an accommodation space in which you can show progress of their work to clients. Do not send the work together with the client. Load on the server and send your customer a demo url to check progress. Keep that safe public access url. It is best if you have your own blog or any domain name that will help you use for that purpose, and also give their work a name brand.

Easy to approach customers for you.

This is very important for the ease with which a customer can contact or talk to you? So for this you should always check email twice a day at least. It will be better if you can be online in a mobile device, so customers will feel comfortable and be in your mind that you can be contacted at any time needed. Use simple meanings of contact, do not give your client a list of email addresses or phone numbers. Try to use the email address only or direct emails from the account of all to one another, so you do not lose any email.

Estimation of work and expenses properly.

If you got a new project, give it some time to gather all the requirements. Read everything and make it clear in your mind. Find their complexity, how much this is going to take time. If something is unclear please ask your customer. Try to remove all points. Schedule talk or chat client meetings, so many hidden things project may see. In fact, you may wish to give specific days for estimating a project, because if your estimate is good it will enter the next level of trust with the client, which is to be put more work.

The Conclusion.

Freelancing is a good thing, but it is not easy to do. Always a man of rules. If its time for some work and show the client, then do not go out and enjoy with your friends if you are working in a company after having achieved a good thing, but if you work independently and have a number of potential customers, making much of a monthly salary, then this job is best.
