Freelance website devs in eu

This question is only for developers IN THE EU who create websites and act as retainers.

I’m assuming the majority of you have clients create accounts on strapi, Wordpress, sanity, etc and you manage.

If so do you need a dpa agreement between you and the client because acting as a retainer makes you a data processor.

Any tools to generate a dpa?

Custom UI Code vs ToolJet/Retool

My stack for building workflows and internal tools is Python.

Can ToolJet or Retool be used by EU freelancers (I plan to use client credentials, not my own)?

So I wanted to know:

FastAPI + Retool vs Django + React

In what situations is it best for me to use custom UI code to create operating dashboards for my automations (basically, what are the limitations of low-code platform builders)?

Are Retool & ToolJet capable of building operating dashboards when making tools for enterprise-level systems?

How would you deal with IP addressing with a third-party platform for frontend development (explicit clauses you'd use)?

How difficult is acting as a retainer for your automation?

Do you act as a retainer (maintenance and monitoring) for your clients?
• If so (basically, how stressful is it): How many can you manage solo?
• Do you hire subcontractors? Do you have any tips for finding or managing subcontractors?
• Do you struggle to meet timelines (for example, in the contract it could be something along the lines of
"monitoring 24/7 for any issues and will solve any issue within 2 hours")?
• How long did it last? Did you need to offer new features included in the retainer's price to keep clients paying?

Is the solution for senior contract developers to start an agency?

Hi,

I am a newbie exploring automation (like n8n, Make, Zapier) as a potential side hustle.

So my question is for automation agency owners.

I want to start as a freelancer, then one day build up to an agency.

I read contract developer communities, and a lot of them say Get a job; clients run out; I did something else.

So I want to know if running an agency is any different?

Will I run out of clients if the market is weak?

I basically want to know how sustainable this model is, from experienced agency owners: if they had to shut down the agency, why?

Obviously, nothing is future-proof, as any entrepreneur would know (never put your eggs in one basket). I plan to build multiple SaaS products and invest in a diverse portfolio.
