A106 - What should you be able to create as a web developer before starting in your freelance career?

Author: Jason Resnick July 23, 2018 Duration: 6:38
As a freelance web developer, at the most basic of levels, you should be able to create a stand alone, functional website. But nowadays, you will want to figure out whether you are going to be a front-end developer, back-end, or maybe full stack developer. That will help you build that solid foundation for your freelance career. However before that even, the biggest thing you need to think about creating for yourself is a track record of good work.

Jason Resnick runs a web development and design business, and he’s heard all the questions that keep independent creators up at night. Twice a week, he opens up the inbox for Ask Rezzz, turning those real-world frustrations into practical, actionable advice. This isn't about abstract theory; it's a direct line to someone who's navigated the same tricky terrain. You'll hear Jason tackle the messy, everyday problems-like dealing with a perpetually late client, figuring out how to build a stable stream of recurring revenue, or shifting your practice to attract clients who truly value your work. The tone is straightforward and conversational, focusing on sustainable strategies over quick fixes. If you're building a creative business and find yourself feeling stuck or overwhelmed, this podcast offers a regular dose of clarity from someone who gets it. Each episode feels like a focused coaching session, designed to help you move past the hurdles and grow a business that respects your time and expertise.
