Questions

Common questions

How much do freelance programmers charge?
Rates vary widely by experience and specialty — hourly or per-project pricing are both common.
What's the difference between frontend and backend development?
Frontend covers what users see and interact with; backend handles servers, databases, and logic behind the scenes. Full-stack developers do both.
Do I need technical knowledge to work with a programmer?
Not necessarily — a good developer will translate your goals into technical requirements, though a basic understanding helps communication.
Can a programmer maintain my app after launch?
Many offer ongoing maintenance and support — discuss this when scoping your project.
How do I know if a developer is qualified?
Review their portfolio, ask about similar past projects, and check reviews from previous clients.
