Front-End Development & Hiring

“Front-end” is the client-facing portion of a web application. The responsibilities of front-end developers include website security, code quality testing, cross-browser and device compatibility, performance, scalability, and more. Globally, the annual salary of front-end developers stands at $51,000. Front-end end developers in the U.S. can make significantly more, with salaries ranging from $61,000 - $101,000. The hourly rate of freelance front-end developers usually ranges from $61-80, though these figures will vary depending on where the developer is based, and how much experience he/she has.

Keep in mind that the above rates may also fluctuate depending on your hiring needs, whether you're looking for a full-time, part-time, contract, or freelance Front-End developer. The cost of hiring an on-site versus a remote developer may differ as well.

How to negotiate Front-End developer hourly rates?

Whether you already have a development team or want to build a new one, hiring a skilled freelance Front-End developer can help accelerate your projects. The key factor when considering a freelance Front-End developer is your budget – how much you have and how much you're willing to invest. The hourly rates of Front-End developers can vary based on their location and your project's scope.

Let's begin with location. Hiring remote developers offers the advantage of choosing from various geographic locations and time zones that align with your project requirements. For instance, if most of your development team is based in North America, you might want to explore freelance Front-End developers in the United States, Canada, or Mexico for better worktime overlap. On the other hand, if you're on a tighter budget, consider working with freelance Front-End developers in South American countries like Argentina, Brazil, or Colombia, or in Asian countries like India, the Philippines, and Malaysia. Hiring freelance developers outside North America often allows for negotiation of lower Front-End developer hourly rates.

Another significant factor influencing the Front-End developer hourly rate is your project's scope. Typically, more complex projects mean higher overall costs. However, if you plan to engage with your freelance developer for an extended period, you can discuss a reduced Front-End developer hourly rate. Providing freelance developers with a consistent flow of projects incentivizes them to lower their hourly rates.

To accurately determine the total cost, have a detailed discussion about your project with your freelance developer. Ensure you convey your ideas comprehensively, which will enable your freelance developer to provide a precise Front-End developer hourly rate estimate. While estimating development timelines can be challenging for lengthy coding projects, offering the developer as much detail as possible will help align the estimate closely with the actual cost.
