HII i created a website using lovable and im thinking of selling it to the client but when i download the zip from github and runs npm install and npm run build it doesnt create a dist folder which is kind of needed for hostinger pls anyone can suggest me what to do
In the vast developing of this world like this how would it help by learning coding from scratch because day by day the speed of ai is increasing and most of the times we are also getting dependent on it.
Boy, this is an irritating inquiry or whatever, so first off: my apologies if this isn’t the place. I’ll try to find somewhere else in that case. If you’re motivated, you could try to direct me to a better place to ask.
Regarding my inquiry,
I would love to search Amazon (or any shopping site) by percentage off. So if I could search by “only 99% off products”, or “only products with record low prices”.
This may seem impossible or worthless to most people here, but I figured I’d shoot my shot
A year ago I developed a website for my sister who is a BPO( branch post master). She actually keeps the transaction records made via her in post office account holders. Yes she is a government official and this is her duty to help rural people ease in transactions. She records different kinds of transactions in different registers and finally calculates manually the journal and fills the journal. I developed the website that records transactions in a very fast manner and updates the journal entries on the website. All happens automatically, she just needs to record the transactions. All the user and transaction data is kept confidential and I also put many efforts in it by testing it properly and deployed and she also used it for a few days but after a few days she stopped using it because she didn't make many transactions to become the website useful. I later implemented very cheap plans for users and it was working well. I tested it for security and everything and also implemented razorpay for payment handle and email otp verification method. But because I don't have money so I was not able to advertise it and later stopped maintaining and working on it. Should I start it again because I still own the domain but I would need money to advertise. It will be profitable, I know it because there are over 200k possible targeted users who do the same work as my sister and it is very cheap in cost. Should I start it again? Will anybody help me by funding it?
Not sure if this is appropriate to post here, but since I've been learning WordPress for the past 5 months using advice I've gotten here, I figured I might as well ask.I'm from a developing country, and I've been calling local businesses, offering to develop websites for them and, more importantly, help them with their SEO.The companies are all in the same industry, which actually helped. I created a sample website that they can all see themselves in, including products that each of them sells. I figured having something tangible to show them would be much more effective than simply telling them what I can do.
Three businesses got back to me, and I've managed to set up meetings with all three tomorrow.Any advice you can give a beginner? Are there specific talking points I should focus on, or even advice on how to conduct business in this space?\
I'm mainly looking for advice on how to approach the meetings, what I should avoid saying/promising, how to present my pricing, and how to turn these meetings into actual clients.
Hi, offering a free review of your SEO metadata, JSON-LD, llms.txt, etc. to make sure your site is ready to blow up on Google/Bing and AI searches.
The catch is that I am getting to test my work.
I have made a website that can actually get the leads from all the different sources.Can anyone tell me how to integrate the payment gateway.and also whenever someone pays a small amount CSV file should be emailed to them automatically.
So I somehow landed my first actual freelance web dev project lol.
It's a small local TCG/card shop and they already have a website made through Hostinger Website Builder. The site works, but it's pretty basic and they want to do a lot more with it. I met with the owner and also talked to the guy who originally made the site. The old dev is basically cool with passing the project over to me since what they want now is getting outside of what the current site was made for.
From what I understand so far, they want stuff like:
I'm still waiting for them to tell me the exact POS system they're switching to. I'm not promising anything with the POS until I know what it is and what API/integration options it actually gives me.
For inventory my thought process right now is basically:
POS = source of truth
POS API/webhooks → my backend → website
I REALLY don't want to build them a whole separate inventory system just for the website if they're already paying for a POS that does it. That just sounds like I'm asking for the POS to say they have 5 of something while my database says 7 lol.
If the POS supports it, I'm thinking I could cache some of the inventory/product data on my side and use webhooks to keep it updated, then have a scheduled sync every once in a while to catch anything that got missed.
The other thing I'm trying to figure out is singles. Since it's a TCG shop, a single card could have the same card but different condition, foil, printing, etc. So I'm waiting to see how their POS handles all of that before I even touch that part.
For stuff the POS isn't responsible for like events, bookings, accounts, admin tools, etc. I'm assuming I'm gonna have my own backend/database for all of that.
The main thing I'm trying NOT to do is accidentally scope creep myself into hell on my first client lol.
My current plan is:
I'll make one design direction with around 4 of the main pages/flows so we can actually agree on what the website is gonna look like before I start building everything. Limited revisions too. If they decide to go forward with the full website, I'll deduct that money from the development price.
Before I give them the actual development price I want everything written down. What accounts can do, how booking works, what the admin can do, what the POS actually needs to connect to, etc.
Right now I'm thinking 50% of the remaining development cost before I start coding and the other 50% before launch/handoff.
I told them around 1 to 2 months, but that was assuming the scope stays reasonable. I'm definitely gonna make the actual timeline based on whatever we agree V1 is.
I mentioned around $75 to $100/month depending on what I'm actually maintaining. That would be updates, minor fixes/changes, keeping stuff working, etc. If they randomly ask me to build a whole new feature 3 months later I'm not counting that as "maintenance" lol.
Originally I threw around $2k in my head for the build, but the more I actually talk to them the more I'm realizing I should probably shut up about the final number until I know the full scope lol. If they really want accounts + bookings + admin + POS/inventory integration this could obviously turn into way more work than just redesigning a small business website.
I'm also working on getting an actual reusable web dev contract made/reviewed. I want scope changes, payments, client provided copyrighted stuff, reusable code, third party APIs/POS problems, maintenance, portfolio rights, termination, etc. actually written down instead of just hoping nobody gets mad at each other lol.
Coding the individual parts isn't really what I'm worried about. My bigger concern is architecting and pricing this correctly since it's my first project this big. I don't wanna say "$2k sounds good" and then 3 weeks later realize I basically agreed to build this man's entire business software for $2k.
So for anyone that's done freelance projects around this size:
Mainly just trying to find out where the landmines are before I step on one lol.
Any advice is appreciated.
Hey guys, now we’re migrating a project to AWS, and our builds are taking around 20–25 minutes.
On top of that, things keep randomly breaking/failing, so we often have to stop, fix something, and run the build again. This makes the whole process even more painful.
From what we’ve seen, we could probably get the build time down to around 10–15 minutes by using a different approach, but that would also increase our AWS infrastructure costs by roughly 10–15%.
Is there any way to optimize this further without increasing infrastructure costs? Maybe there are some AWS/build optimizations we’re missing that could both speed things up and make the builds more reliable?
Would appreciate any advice.
Hey, I want to build a marketplace sort of website where individual users can create profiles and gallery pages and sales of digital products would be linked to payment processors. (think something like InPrnt.com)
As someone that knows nothing about webdev, what's the best place to start when it comes to this? on the front and backend. Basically my skills right now are 'can html a Neocities site' so any guidance you can give would be great.
I'm not hoping to do this immediately, just not sure how to start figuring it out and the list of skills i'd need to accumulate.
I'm hosting off of Linode and when a wave of bots hit my site, Linode CPU usage shoots up to 100-200%. My Linode plan is only 1 core, so this is not ideal because it slows the site down. However, when I run 'top', or look at the pm2 usage, the maximum CPU usage I've seen has been 1%.
I'm working on better rate limiting/firewalls, but what is this discrepancy from? How are these bots able to aggressively spam my site and slow it down (open file errors) but the processes on the computer never seem stressed?
I'm in 3rd CSE student and I'm learning Full Stack Development from previous 9 months and i done very well recently in June-July I made a very good project also using on MEVN stack I haven't ship/deploy it I'm thinking to deploy it in end of 3rd year. Last year I choose Developmment over DSA because I have interest in that at that time while my mostly friends choose DSA.
Now i came to know that DSA is necessary for placement and i trying to learn DSA from 2-3 weeks and also doing leetcode question recently i know DSA should done in pattern wise approach I also trying that but I'm unable to processing in DSA while when I was doing Development I got rarely or never this type of feeling or tiredness because I love to build products.
But DSA i'm thinking that i can't do or it is not made for me. When i do Development I really enjoy it I can do it all day and all time but in DSA after like 2-3 hrs it very hard to concentrate but as i said i recently know DSA is necessary for placements.
Give me some advice.
So, it's a grid of dates of course like a normal calendar, but it's for historical events, so an intuitive layout is that scrolling upwards should go backwards and backwards in time.
What would be some smart ways to implement this?
Hi guys newbie here (first year student) and I recently started learning web development and I learnt html, css and javascript ( basically learnt frontend now) and built a basic to do list and then built a student card dashboard where I take input and then display card after adding the info
I know they are all basic and stuff but yeah that's what I have done till now
Then I think I'll be learning MERN stack and then will be going to build full stack projects
So my doubt is am I doing the correct thing or am I in a good place as a first year student
And since I'm learning for the first time if you guys have any advice itd be very nice if you dropped'em here
And do you think the tech stack I'm learning is good and worth it in 2026??
Most of the testing IDE’s I have tried so far are too developer heavy for my purposes. I
just need something to record user journeys and make sure our UX doesn’t break.
What QA tools exist that run reliable tests but don’t require a developer to operate
them?
Hey everyone! I’m in the process of starting courses at my technical college that contribute to Web development/design for the first time. I know in this line of work would require networking and a strong portfolio. Is there a way that I can prepare for these courses besides tutoring? Free tools are preferred. I also have ADHD so this is something that made me consider something like this so I want to be prepared.
So I've been handling this ecommerce site that's built in .Net as backend for quite some time now. The problem that Is noticed is that the frontend code is all over the place. Some of the pages are using vanilla js. Some are running on handlebars. There are pages that using angularjs.
What I want to do is to just use one framework for the whole site with the following considerations in mind
* It should not be an SPA. The backend code is not something that we can recode and convert to API only so easily.
* I want to encapsulate specific site features into their own standalone components. And that they should be something I can use on different pages.
* I'm worried about SEO. I'm thinking it should be something that can work with server-side rendering
* It should'nt be something that's totally new. I need to use something that I can say is reliable. Something that has been proven to be a good option and not something that I'll be pioneering in our company.
* Something that's testable. Something that has support for TDD.
I'm thinking of using react first but when I started thinking about the factors that I just listed, I'm having second thoughts if react is actually the right choice for it.
So, is react a good option for this or is there a better framework I should consider?
Hey everyone.
If you were migrating your infrastructure today, would you choose AWS or Azure?
On paper the credits and pricing look pretty similar, but from what I’ve seen Azure can become more expensive and a bit harder to manage at scale.
Which one would you pick and why?
I've been away from software development due to medical reasons and am now trying to get back in. I have ~3 years' experience in backend/full-stack development (Java, Spring Boot, React, Angular, Node.js, TypeScript).
I'm considering starting with small, fixed-scope contracts (20–25 hrs/week) before returning to full-time work.
For anyone who's done something similar: did contract work actually help you get back into the industry?
Just now realised I kinda messed up with my hosting lol
I paid around ₹1500 (Indian rupee) [$15] thinking I was renewing my domain + hosting, but apparently that was just for the domain. now it’s asking another ₹3k + tax for hosting.
I already have the domain, but I really dont wanna spend ₹3k+ every year on hosting when my site is still tiny.
rn it’s just a homepage + a few blog posts. I’m planning to add more blog posts, html/js calculators and some simple tools tho.
it’s on wordpress rn, but since I’m just starting, I’m open to switching hosts, CMS, or even something like Astro.
I’ve seen people mention Astro + Cloudflare Pages for free hosting. would that make sense for this kinda site or are there better options?
i dont mind learning a bit and setting things up myself tho.
aka what would you guys do if you were me? 😭
tldr: Hosting is asking ₹3k+ for hosting, but my site is tiny. I already have the domain. It’s a WordPress blog + some HTML/JS tools later. Open to Astro or changing CMS if it means free hosting. Any options?
