@tahnik No, full sites (6 - 100+ pages). We do use a platform we built as the base. Most homepages are completely custom (depending which package they bought). The inside pages are mostly as is but there's a lot that has to be done still - add images and swap out the text, import their inventory feeds, css, scripts, carry over Iframes and 3rd party stuff and complete any customization they want.

hiken18778y@CodingPrincess sounds like a case where having more devs (well structured teams) would be a good thing
-
Roughly 3-5 websites each month at max. Im solo so i do all the meetings. Changes,too. What you do will burn your mentallity. Its an overkill
-
Whoa. Way too much!!! I usually have 10 projects at the same time with different due dates (though usually my company lets clients bully them into flexing time so I still get overloaded). It sounds like they need to hire more devs or you need to get out of there 😕
-
unknown18398yMost of time 1 or sometimes 2 projects at the same time. Each dev is working on that project. Besides that, we have smaller projects that needs bugfixes only, or new small components. Each dev gets 1 or 2 'subprojects' for that week.

Fully committed to only 1 project at a time, with a few side projects at the very most. You need to push back!
-
kaosmos08yI'm used to have 2, or at most 3 at time plus plenty (10 or more) in additive maintenance. Everything with different deadline.
-
@CodingPrincess that sounds exactly like my first job in the industry. You need to get out ASAP. That combination of tasks is poison.

zshh38538yI did a part time when in college as developer. What they didn't tell me was that 99% of the time it was not only development but everything. Talk to client about requirements, prototypes, development, testing, deployment and everything in between.
I pretty soon realized that it was a shit job (with shit pay) so I got out of there. You should not have to handle clients when you are also writing the code, its too much work!

Aitkotw12Started working in a company as an intern, they want me to do everything whether I know how to or not.
Web Devs - How many projects do you typically work on at once? I am currently developing 24 websites at once, most of them custom (homepage). I just feel like that is absurd and my company is absolutely insane. Not to mention I'm the front line for client communication as well, pretty much the project manager AND developer. We're a huge company too, not a start up. Just feel like not having project managers for web dev industry is unprecedented except for freelance. 😡👎🏼
