Truth be told, you don’t need a frontend framework.
Complete web solutions can be built without ever needing a frontend framework.
You may need just a tiny bit JavaScript. But that’s all.
Let’s discuss
Is this going to happen where Ai bots can purchase for Humans. What is future of online E-commerce is it going to be replaced with virtual ai agents.
Hello,
I decided to start a little side project and have developed a 4-5 page HTML website for a new sales and marketing company. They're pretty small currently but have massive growth potential. I've built them a functioning website that just needs to be hosted live now. I'm curious if anyone can give me a price range on how much I should sell this to them for.
I've showed them one version and they're interested and have asked me to pitch them tomorrow and show them the full thing.
I know them personally so I don't plan to overcharge them and I'm selling them access to the entire website as a one time fee. I've seen online that web developers sell sites for anywhere from £500-£4000+
Any advice would be much appreciated! Thanks
I am a backend developer who wants to expand my skill. Everytime I see jobs opportunity for QA Tester, Selenium must be written there as requirement.
Is it worth it? And can I jump straight to Selenium without learning frontend?
Just asking this because the the code I'm reviewing are like 1-2k lines of new code per.PR. With at least 1000 lines of existing working code removed..we got some crackpot devs that don't even look their own AI slop code before releasing it..and this is almost daily
Im into web development and copleted some projects using npm.I want to upskill myself in the stream of webdevelopment to be professional i have explored some package managers like npm,yarn,bun etc. need some sugesstions to pick a good package manager to level up my skills.
Hi all!
Background: So I made a wix site a few years ago as a young teen. Since then I have learned code, ux/ui, etc. Made a few sites with springboot/sql the basics. Not a pro.
I am looking for a platform to make a website.
Criteria:
1- That is still easier/structured (not pure coding from scratch) but customizable.
2- That can handle multiple pages and dynamic elements
3- That I can connect to a domain
4- That is inexpensive.
I thought of getting a cloudfare domain. But I still don’t know how to host, connect the domain name, or what site to use.
I know it’s a loaded newbie question, but if you could direct me to a tutorial or other resource that would be great too. Thank you for your time!
Hey everyone,
I’m building a website package specifically targeting solar installation businesses/agencies. It’s built on Next.js and optimized for local SEO and mobile performance.
I’m trying to find the sweet spot for pricing this in the domestic Indian market.
Here is what the package includes:
Given the solar niche in my area (Kerala, India) is booming right now but highly competitive, a fast, high-converting lead engine is worth a lot to these business owners.
What is a realistic price range for a custom Next.js package like this in the Indian market? Should I pitch it as a flat one-time development fee, or structure it as a lower upfront cost with a monthly retainer for maintenance/local SEO management?
Would love to hear from anyone dealing with local SMBs/solar clients in India.

PS: I used AI assisted development while building the site as well as to structure this post (I am not good at English).
PS: I have no idea why the bot flags it as a self-promotion. So, removing the link to the project.
I need honest advice. I'm not entirely new to coding, I can code in python and cpp but only limited basically to algorithms and data structures, just a few math related projects with minimal UI, either straight up in the terminal or pygame lol.
I have no idea what to do or where to start, do I just vibe code it and go insane trying? I will need a database to track user progress (it's a learning site), a way for the user to log in... what is even the first thing to set up, the database? Would you advise to "learn as I go" or to go through a whole web dev course? I actually tried that twice on youtube but it's soo slow it feels like, (at least at the start) and it didn't seem to touch on a login method, a way to set up and process payment. It felt like I was going to waste time so I stopped.
I would not like to go through a whole course but I will if you guys deem it the best course of action and maybe you know the perfect one for my situation.
I'm making a web atlas, dedicated to compile information about every country in a single website, in a fast and convenient way. It uses the Leaflet library, and pyscript.

Hi everyone,
I'm a 3rd-semester BCA student and I'm building a full-stack web application to improve my development skills. I'm looking for the best way to deploy both the frontend and backend completely for free.
My tech stack:
Frontend: React/Vite
Backend: Node.js/Express
Database: MongoDB (or PostgreSQL)
I'm looking for:
Free deployment
GitHub auto deployment
Custom domain support (optional)
Beginner-friendly setup
Good for learning and portfolio projects
I've heard about Cloudflare Pages, Cloudflare Workers, Vercel, Netlify, Render, Railway, Supabase, and Firebase, but I'm not sure which combination is the best in 2026.
What would you recommend? If you know any good YouTube tutorials or documentation, please share them.
Thanks in advance!
Let say you have a logo like this where "B" is a stylized character that is an image.
Is it better to have the entire logo as an image?
or have "B" as an image but "oat" as just text for better SEO?
So I work in a company with front and back end development separated and I am in the back end. I have noticed that when we are discussing some feature's bug, there seems to be this disconnect of where the bug lives. When I see it on the back end I have no problem raising my voice and saying the why it might be that, but when it seems to be the front end... Silence, complete silence. I used to say "this is s front end issue, the need to do X, Y, Z and should be it", not the actual solution but like the overview of the business perspective solution, but I noticed some rejection from the front end lead towards me because of it.
I decided to be a bit more careful since some people are more sensitive, in a more doubtful way and saying "maybe this could be it", still complete silence and no ownership of the problem nor a discussion.
I just wonder, from your perspective, what has been your experience and yoir behavior in those scenarios?
I guess no one likes to be put in "evidence" or on the spot but being afraid to say "I was wrong" or not to offer a point of view is crazy to me.
I’m a self-taught web developer with no formal education. So far, so good. But I keep wondering about the gaps that may appear later on that a degree would have covered.
I’d like to hear from people who are already working. What was the hardest thing you found as a self-taught? Or does it not matter so much anymore and you can just pick up what you’re missing on your own as you go? Now I'm trying to figure out where to put my attention, so any experience helps.
I developed an app and I contacted a possible client. The client told me they liked the app, but it had no value since with AI everyone can do it.
This hit me hard. It is true that AI helps coding, but coding is not the real problem when designing a commercial app. Rather, the design itself, whiteboard work, development, UI… all of that is the work
It looks like nobody understands where professionalship enters the equation and this piss me off too hardly.
What do u think about this?
Recently finished my first professional project (as in the client is actively using the website) and wanted to see if there were ways I could evaluate the overall structure and performance of the webapp (Full-Stack, E-commerce with custom CMS for admin purposes).
The average is:
Performance: 96,
Accessibility: 96,
Best Practices: 96,
SEO: 100.
Is this a reliable way to evaluate my work after-the-fact?
I recently completed a full-stack website project and learned a lot during the process.
Features included:
• Responsive design for mobile and desktop
• Fast-loading pages
• Contact forms with validation
• SEO-friendly structure
• Admin dashboard for content management
One thing I noticed is that many small businesses still rely only on social media and miss out on opportunities that a dedicated website can provide.
For developers here:
What feature do clients appreciate the most when you build websites for small businesses?
I'd love to hear your experiences and suggestions for improving future projects.
Please post your requests for feedback on your projects in this thread instead of creating a post.
I've been a Front-End Developer for 10+ years, but I've never contributed to an open source project before, mostly do to lack of time. I have time now and have been looking at open source projects on Github, but I'm overwhelmed by the number of projects there and need help narrowing my search down.
Ideally I'd like to find a good cause that is in sore need of UI/UX work. Something where you love what they do, but they can't afford much. I'm passionate about the environment and about helping families.
What are some of your favorites?
Hey everyone 😁 I recently hosted my first website for myself to create these viral tiktok simulations for football score predictions. Other apps have been blocked by paywall or had limited customization so I decided to make one for myself. Then it hit me, it would be good to try and monetize it. Times are tough lol even extra 5 dollars a month would make a difference. I've introduced an idea of coins, users can purchase coins to unlock custom teams , themes, ball designs etc. It's free to play without an account but with limited features. I also applied for google adsense but verification can take weeks..
I'm promoting my app on my tiktok channel (3000 views per average sometimes it reaches 20k). However when I look at Firebase analytics over the past 4 days I had 48 unique users in total, none of them created the account and the average time spent on a website is 10 seconds.
My question is: how to increase user engagement to increase average time spent on a website and I'm looking for a honest feedback.
Can you tell me why would you exit this website. What am I doing wrong.
Thank you in advance 😄
