I saw web devs arguing about SEO just last week, and it was cool seeing how people were proving reasonable points, but I rarely see Nigerian devs brag about their knowledge of data compliance, cookie policies, accessibility, or GDPR, even as a “website designer.”
If you understand these, you can unlock high value opportunities, sometimes earning more than the dev work itself, especially when working with international clients.
I once worked with a WordPress developer who specializes in WordPress accessibility and charges between $5k -12k per project.
Website design is way beyond aesthetics. It is about functionality, compliance, and trust.
If you send a client an invoice that incorporates these compliance elements, a serious enterprise client will appreciate you more and see you as a strategic partner, not just a service provider.
For instance, if your site is not ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant, you could be sued and fined between $5k - $50k, depending on the case and court.
So, If you are tired of just building websites, just like me, you should definitely explore these spaces. There is real value here, and you might actually have fun doing it and definitely stand out.
