Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to hire a web developer?

Web developer rates on GoHireHumans range from $30-200/hr depending on seniority and technology stack. A simple business website typically costs $500-3,000, while complex web applications can range from $3,000 to $20,000+. With GoHireHumans' 1% employer fee, you save significantly compared to Toptal (35%+ markup) or Upwork (18.5% take rate).

Frontend vs. backend vs. full-stack — which do I need?

Frontend developers build what users see (design, interactions, responsiveness). Backend developers build the server-side logic (databases, APIs, authentication). Full-stack developers handle both. For a simple website, a frontend developer is usually sufficient. For web apps with user accounts, payments, or data processing, you'll want backend or full-stack expertise.

How does milestone-based escrow work for development?

You break the project into milestones (e.g., 'Design mockup,' 'Frontend build,' 'Backend API,' 'Testing & launch'). You fund each milestone upfront, and the developer gets paid only when you approve the deliverable. This protects both parties and keeps the project on track.

Can I hire a developer for just a few hours of bug fixing?

Yes. GoHireHumans supports both fixed-price projects and hourly work. Many developers offer small task packages for bug fixes, feature additions, or code reviews starting at just an hour or two.
