With strong demand across finance, technology, automotive, manufacturing, and healthcare, businesses throughout the province are increasingly turning to freelance talent to access specialized skills without the overhead of full-time hires.

Ontario is home to over 15 million people and houses more than half of Canada's tech companies, including Shopify, Wealthsimple, and the headquarters of Canada's Big Five banks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a full-stack developer and when should I hire one?

A full-stack developer is proficient in both frontend (React, Vue, Angular) and backend (Node.js, Python, Java) technologies. Hire one when you need end-to-end development capabilities, want a single developer to handle your entire project, or need someone who can bridge the gap between design and infrastructure.

How much do full-stack developers charge in Ontario?

Full-stack developer rates in Ontario typically range from $65 to $170 per hour. Their broader skill set often commands a premium over specialized frontend or backend developers, but the efficiency of having one developer handle the entire stack can reduce overall project costs.

What should I include in a full-stack developer job brief?

Include your project scope, preferred technology stack (or let them recommend one), timeline, budget range, design assets (if any), and any specific requirements like third-party integrations, authentication needs, or deployment preferences. Clear requirements help developers on freel.ca provide accurate proposals.
