Fractional JavaScript Developer

I don’t bill by the hour, and I don’t track hours. I’ve found it to be a very inefficient and unpredictable way of working with clients.

You might find some freelancer on Upwork for $35/hour and think “I could hire them at the same price and get 200 hours of work!” But that’s like comparing apples to oranges.

My focus is on delivering results at a consistently high level of quality and as little risk to you as possible. Without that high bar of quality, more hours of work just means more code to fix in the future.

I know hourly billing is entrenched in this industry, and this may require a mental leap you’re not yet comfortable with. That’s why I offer the money-back guarantee. Try it out and see for yourself.

I ship one or two meaningful deliverables each week, on average.

Because tasks can be of wildly different complexities, bigger tasks might get broken up into smaller parts. For example, “Improve validation on our checkout page” is much different than “Build an integration with this third-party API.”

Along the way, you will get a steady stream of updates and progress. No more dealing with developers that “go dark” for weeks or months at a time.

I want to make sure you are getting consistent value out of our relationship.

No. I keep meetings to an absolute minimum. It’s one of the big reasons why I’m as efficient as I am. But don’t worry, you’ll know exactly what I’m working on at any given time.

I’ve streamlined my process and made it completely transparent, so routine communication and check-ins are unnecessary. It’s better this way!

If you already have a project management system we use, you can give me access to that and start assigning tickets to me right away. If not, I’ll set you up with Trello, a card-based project management tool.

I love context and knowing more about what you’d like me to build.

Record a short video clip using any tool you like, and link it in the issue or ticket. If something is still unclear, we can set up a brief chat as needed. In my experience, though, that’s usually unnecessary.

Nope! Once you’re subscribed, you can add as many tasks to your queue as you’d like, and they’ll be delivered one-by-one.

You can move requests around and set your own project priority to ensure your most important tasks are finished first.

No worries!

Development is an iterative process. Unlike an agency that will charge you extra for change orders, you get unlimited revisions until you’re happy with the work.

The cost of a hiring full-time senior JavaScript developer averages over $150k/year, plus benefits. And if you don’t have enough to keep them constantly busy, you’re stuck paying for time you aren’t able to utilize.

With Fractional JavaScript Development, you pay less than half that. And unlike a full-time employee, you can easily pause my services at any time, and restart them when you need more work.

If you don’t have enough work to hire someone full-time, Fractional JavaScript Development can give you access to expert-level JavaScript expertise and keep your business moving forward.

Just me, Chris Ferdinandi. Unlike big agencies, I won’t farm your work off to junior developers or outsource things. You get to work directly with me, a senior developer with over a decade of experience.
