This is a suggestion letter for all freelance web developers on behalf of web development companies in India. Freelance web design or web application development is good to earn extra income for you but it has several adverse effects on the economy of India. The following effects can ruin India from various aspects.
1. Freelance web designers are freelancers so they charge very cheap rates for web design; this drives down market rates for the same work. Web application development companies cannot beat the rates offered by freelancers. Ultimately, a new company could die prematurely or not survive any longer. The county loses a business unit and business development stops.
2. Freelancers work on projects to earn additional income, but are not interested in paying taxes for it, so they request payment through various alternative methods, such methods are cash payments. Self-employed workers do not pay taxes on cash income. The country like India loses income tax, if it had been a web development company, it would have paid income tax.
3. An individual web developer works for money and not for reputation, so if the client’s web application project fails, he is not responsible, but the receiving client has a bad impression of the Indian web development industry. Sometimes foreign clients never come back due to bad experience with freelance web developers.
4. Many freelance web developers don’t even have experience when they start offering their service to overseas clients. The client believes that India is very cheap, so the project is assigned to inexperienced freelancers. Finally, a web application developed by Freelance Web Developer is rubbish or unstable; otherwise, a web development company could have been a good customer experience.
5. A web development company establishes a business unit and honest developers are expected in the company. If you are a freelance web developer and still working with a company, then you are trying to cheat your current company that pays your keep.
So if you want to help India your own country then quit freelancing and work for a good web company or if you are an entrepreneur then start a new web application development company.
