Do you want to work from home and earn a healthy living as a freelance developer? There has never been a better time! Freelance Developers make $51 per hour, on average, in the US. The highest hourly ratings are earned by freelancers outside freelancing platforms such as Upwork or Fiverr—by means of their own websites.
But how do you create a freelance developer website that converts strangers to paying customers?
In this article, I’ll answer this question by example. Each of the top 19 websites shown here is carefully selected based on the respective freelancer’s estimated success.

How to Create Your Own Freelance Developer Website in 5 Simple Steps
Creating a website as a freelance developer is relatively easy. Here are the five steps that you must complete:
- Domain+Hosting: Create your meaningful domain name—like i-help-you-solve-your-tech-problems.com—and a simple WordPress site using a website hosting service (just Google this to get it done). WordPress is still the best technology that can create beautiful websites in very little time.
- Niche+Customer Problem: Find the specific niche and customer problem you want to solve. Go niche. Go small. Don’t fear being too niched down–that doesn’t exist as a one-person freelancing business. Even a world-market of 2 clients a year will do if they pay you enough money. Don’t miss this step—it’s critical. Read more about finding your best niche here.
- Copywriting: Fill your simple one-page site with a description of how you solve your customer’s problem. Make your value proposition obvious from the start. You can find more business education in my Python freelancer course.
- Trust: Add trust elements to your website. What have you already accomplished in programming? Which websites and projects can they check out? What’s your StackOverflow bio? What’s your Github account? What did your previous employers say about you? Add pictures from you and make yourself human! Go deep into your past and find all valuable things you ever did that help you create trust for this specific customer problem you are targeting.
- Pay: Find a way to get paid. There are plugins to embed a PayPal button—but the best way is to ask for an email. Just embed an HTML button with a
mailtosource attribute. You should have a separate bank account to divide your personal finances with your business finances from the start.
That’s it. You’ll revisit everything from time to time and improve your web presence through feedback and iteration. There are more things to do but you’ll figure them out as they appear. Don’t overthink—just do it!
