Let’s decode Australian's market

The Australian market can be varied in terms of pay. I have met Freelance WordPress developers charging 30 dollars to as high as 200 dollars + GST. So what is the reason behind such a massive gap. Let me clarify.

The entry to WordPress development is minimal. And the roadmap to WordPress Developer is fairly easy too. You can grab a premium theme and start developing websites on the go. For this, you don’t even need a development background. WordPress Developer building websites built on premium themes tend to charge on the low end.

On other hand, WordPress developers with great experience and good connections tend to charge a lot higher. Let me tell you, WordPress is massively popular among SME - small to medium sized - businesses here in Australia. And most of the SME have a decent budget. If you are looking to make money, this is where your target should be.

And if the client is really looking for cutting costs, there are a lot of platforms to outsource the website development too. Personally, what I have found from the sites like this based on my experience with clients is, outsourcing to these sites can be 50-50. If I have to suggest you honestly, go with a local WordPress Developer.

How do i charge personally

I charge based on my experience. I have bagged more than 7+ years of experience as WordPress Developer, and currently working as Digital Marketing. My unique selling point have always been SEO, and with me you are hiring an SEO Specialist too.

I decided to charge on ballpark and package based for a while now.

Since I take on my project quite seriously and my work quality is top notch, I think the pricing is very attractive. And most of the websites I have built are ranking quite well too.
