Freelance web developer in San Diego
Velour Web is run by Alexey Chasin, a freelance web developer based in North San Diego County who builds custom websites and web applications with Next.js, React and TypeScript. Business websites are quoted as fixed projects at $3,000 to $8,000; web apps after a discovery sprint. You work directly with the developer, get a written scope and a launch date, and own the code.
Why hire a freelance web developer instead of an agency
An agency puts a project manager, a designer, a developer and an account manager between you and the work, and bills for all of them. A freelance web developer does the work and talks to you directly. Decisions take minutes instead of meetings, the scope stays honest because the person quoting it is the person building it, and the price reflects one senior developer rather than a team.
The trade-off is capacity: one developer takes a few projects at a time. We tell you the start date on the call and hold it.

FAQ
Common questions
How much does a freelance web developer cost in San Diego?
Freelance rates in San Diego run $75 to $200 per hour. We quote websites as fixed projects instead: $3,000 to $8,000 for a business website, so you know the total before work starts. Hourly work for existing clients is $120 per hour.
Are you available for hire right now?
Usually within two to three weeks. Ask on the call and you get a start date in the written quote.
Do you work with startups?
Yes, for MVPs with a clear scope. WPro.AI was built here from the first line of code. A discovery sprint comes first so the scope and cost are fixed.
Can you take over a project another developer started?
Yes, after a short audit of the code and hosting. Sometimes it is faster to rebuild; the audit tells you which.
Do I own the code?
Yes. The repository, the hosting accounts and the domain are in your name from the start.
