Web development services from $1

What you can have built or fixed

Small, well-defined web jobs are exactly what this works best for:

• Landing pages and single responsive sections.
• WordPress setup, theme edits and plugin fixes.
• Bug fixes and HTML/CSS/JavaScript changes.
• Making an existing site mobile-responsive.
• Contact forms, integrations and page-speed improvements.

Turnaround and pricing

Delivery time is shown on every gig — small fixes are often same or next day, while pages and features take longer. Prices start at $1 with no platform commission or buyer fee, so a small change costs a small amount, not an agency minimum.

Match the developer to your platform

Web work isn't one skill. If your site runs on WordPress, Shopify, Wix or Squarespace, look for a developer who lists that platform — the fix is usually quick for someone who knows it and slow for someone who doesn't. If you have a custom-coded site, match the language or framework (plain HTML/CSS/JavaScript, React, PHP, and so on). Each gig states what the developer works with, so filter for your stack before ordering. For a brand-new small site, a developer can advise whether a page builder or custom build fits your budget and needs.

How to scope the job and what to provide

The clearer your handover, the quicker and cheaper the result. Provide access to your site or hosting (or a staging copy), a precise description of what you want changed, and a screenshot or reference of the desired outcome. For a bug, include the exact steps to reproduce it, the page it happens on, and the browser or device. For a new page, share the content and a layout you like. Each gig lists the deliverable and revision policy up front.

Check the work before you approve

Before you mark a job done, open the change on the devices and browsers your visitors use — most sites are viewed on mobile, so check there, not just your desktop. Confirm the thing you asked for works, click around the affected pages to be sure nothing else broke, and check the page still loads fast. Raising anything within the gig's revision window is far easier than coming back weeks later.

Keeping your site safe during changes

Ask the developer to work on a backup or staging copy where possible, and always keep your own recent backup before granting access. Grant the minimum access needed for the task and revoke it once the work is delivered and reviewed. Because payment is held until delivery and every gig carries public reviews, you can start with a small fix to confirm a developer is careful and communicative before trusting them with anything larger.

Make sure you own the result

Before you order, agree that you keep full ownership and access to everything delivered — the code, the accounts, the domain and the hosting login. Ask the developer to build on your own accounts rather than theirs, so nothing is locked to a person you can't reach later. Reputable freelancers expect this; anyone reluctant to hand over access is a red flag.

One-off fix or ongoing upkeep?

Some web work is done once — a fix, a page, a feature. But sites need occasional upkeep too: updates, backups, small changes and the odd thing that breaks. If you'll need regular small changes, you can reorder from the same developer as things come up, or arrange a light monthly check-in — cheaper and more responsive than an agency support contract.
