It took me to find a freelancer here recently to make a website. It would seem, and what's wrong with that? There are enough web developers in the country! I'll find it in a couple of weeks, I thought, in a month at most. As you may have guessed, I didn't find it.
This longread is about freelancers in particular, and a little about web development in general, on behalf of the customer. I perfectly understand that most of the regulars of Habr are performers, and customers here periodically arrive . And yet I would venture to speak out. Hope it will be fun.
Here you need to make a small lyrical digression so that you can immerse yourself in the context. So, my colleagues and I have a small pet-project in the field of education. More precisely, in the field of pronunciation. Inside this pet project, there is another nested pet project class - a YouTube channel where we test different ideas, collect feedback, and do a little market analysis.
Gradually, we have accumulated a decent amount of text material - articles, analytics, various test problems, and the like. In parallel, the YouTube channel has gained several hundred thousand subscribers. We also began to notice that the share of search and external traffic on the channel is approaching 50% (this is a lot). Moreover, search phrases correlate well with the "necessary" high-frequency queries.
In general, we have matured to our site.
We write the terms of reference
An adequate customer is distinguished by a good understanding of what he wants. The problem is that we needed the most common content site. We even fell into a stupor for a while, how beautiful it is to paint. By and large, the terms of reference could be something like this:
