One of the biggest challenges for any aspiring frontend developer is breaking through that first opportunity. Whether it’s a freelance project or a full time role, the toughest part is building trust and proof that you can deliver. Dylan, one of our students landed his first freelance frontend client. Here’s how he did it: 👉 He responded to a local ad and pitched his skills directly. This shows that breaking into tech doesn’t always start with big platforms, sometimes it’s about reaching out and solving real problems in your network 👉 He earned $300 for a one day frontend project (+ costs for theme/hosting). A solid first win for building confidence and credibility 👉 He had no prior freelance experience. After sending multiple proposals on Upwork with no luck, this first client gave him the portfolio project he needed to prove his skills 👉 His plan now: add this project to his portfolio website, attract more freelance work, and build consistency while preparing for his first full time frontend developer job 💡 Dylan shared: “Frontend Now taught me more practical skills than my computer science degree. It gave me a clear roadmap to start a career in frontend development.” This is exactly what Frontend Now is here for; helping beginners and career shifters break into tech, build job-ready portfolios, and land their first frontend developer role 💬 What about you? - If you’re starting out, what would your first freelance frontend project be? - If you’ve already landed a client or job, share your story, it could inspire someone else to take that first step

Breaking into tech doesn’t have to mean years of computer science or thousands spent on a degree. Frontend development has become one of the most accessible and rewarding career paths for beginners and career switchers alike With just HTML, CSS, and JavaScript plus the right projects you can build a portfolio that gets recruiters’ attention. But what really makes the difference is showing you can solve real world problems.
