Freelance Software Development
I offer contract or freelance website and web application development. I have been programming professionally for around seven years and have been programming in general for around ten years, with experience in both the commercial and academic sectors.
Web development, like media article writing, is one of those areas in business that clients can benefit from by employing the services of a professional contractor/freelancer, rather than going the usual way and finding a company to deal with. Here are some reasons:
- If you can find a freelancer to meet your requirements, since they will not have the maintenance costs associated with a business/company, you are likely to get a solution which saves you money.
- Unlike other industries, say manufacturing, where you need to go through a company because only they have enough money to buy and operate the machinery required to manufacture the product you are purchasing, all that is required to development great software is a computer. Also, freelancers are just like programmers employed by businesses/companies, who for one reason or other, instead choose to pursue independent work. Both of these points mean you will not be sacrificing quality.
- Often, when enlisting the software development services of a business/company, you never actually get to directly speak with the person who is writing the software. Instead, you have to deal with a project manager who then relays to the software developer what the client says. With a freelancer who ably manages both the project management and development, you can directly communicate with them about what you want so that the whole process is much more efficient and less prone to miscommunication.
- A professional freelancer will adhere to contractual obligations and stick to dealines.
My preference is for Open Source solutions, which I find allows for greater flexibility and more economical solutions, however I am comfortable with both Open Source and proprietary paradigms.
