September 2025 Archive – What We Covered This Month

Welcome to the September 2025 roundup. If you’re scrolling for fresh advice on making money online, saving on domains, picking a site builder, or starting a new trade, you’re in the right spot. Below you’ll find quick, practical takeaways from each article we published this month.

Freelance Web Developer Hourly Rate Guide 2025

We broke down the current hourly rates for freelance web developers and explained why they vary. Experience level is the biggest driver – newbies charge around $25‑$40 per hour, while senior pros can ask $100‑$150+. Location matters too; developers in North America usually earn more than those in South Asia, even after accounting for cost of living. Skill set is another big factor: a full‑stack dev with React, Node, and cloud experience commands higher fees than a pure front‑end coder. Project complexity and client budget also shape the final number. Finally, we gave negotiation tips: set a clear scope, use a rate card, and always ask for a deposit before starting work.

Can You Get a Domain Name Free Forever? Real Options in 2025

Free domain names sound great, but the truth is they come with strings attached. We looked at the few services that let you register a domain at no cost for life – mostly subdomains or .tk/.ml extensions that aren’t ideal for professional branding. Better options include using a free domain for the first year with a hosting plan, then renewing at a low price, or grabbing a cheap .co or .info domain during sales. We warned about hidden renewal fees, limited DNS control, and the risk of losing the domain if you stop paying. The bottom line: you can save a little, but a reputable paid domain still offers the best security and credibility.

The next article in our archive compared the top website builders for SEO in 2025. We set up a head‑to‑head table that measured core Web Vitals, built‑in schema support, URL structure flexibility, and plugin ecosystem. WordPress led the pack for advanced SEO control, especially with Yoast or Rank Math, but it requires more technical know‑how. Webflow impressed with clean code and fast load times out of the box, making it a solid choice for designers who don’t want to touch plugins. Wix and Squarespace scored well on ease of use but fell short on deep SEO customization. Shopify shone for e‑commerce SEO, thanks to built‑in product schema and fast CDN delivery. Our takeaway? Pick the builder that matches your skill level and the type of site you’re building, then follow the pro tips for meta tags, image optimization, and internal linking.

Finally, we published a step‑by‑step guide on becoming an electrician in Tennessee in 2025. The piece walked you through the two main licensing paths: the Licensed Journeyman Electrician (LJE) route and the Local Labor Engineer (LLE) option. Both start with an approved apprenticeship, usually 4,000 hours of on‑the‑job training paired with classroom tuition. After completing the apprenticeship you must pass the NEC exam, pay a modest fee, and submit paperwork to the Tennessee Department of Labor. We also covered the costs, average salaries, and the next step – obtaining a contractor’s license if you want to bid on jobs over $25,000. The guide is a handy checklist for anyone thinking about switching to a stable, well‑paid trade.
