How to price your web design & dev contracts as a college student
Never charge hourly when starting out — clients will question why a bug took 3 hours to fix. Charge per project milestone: - Milestone 1: Wireframes & visual designs in Figma (30% upfront) - Milestone 2: Functional staging deployment (40%) - Milestone 3: Production domain launch & handover (30%). Never deploy to their live domain until the final payment is cleared in your account.
How we got our first 500 college users without spending ₹1 on ads
We built a simple WhatsApp bot that sends daily mess menus and laundry token alerts for our campus hostels. Distribution playbook: 1. Shared on unofficial batch WhatsApp groups during lunch time. 2. Put small stickers with a QR code near the water coolers on every hostel floor. 3. Word-of-mouth did the rest: 500 active users in 72 hours. Solve real localized inconvenience.
