I am a 14 year old - where can I find work has a web developer?

I'm pretty sure that the US Department of Labor dictates that you must be 16 years old to be hired. Child labor laws, you see. But you may be able to so part time work as an intern. Check with the teachers of the STEM program, if your school has one. They may have contacts in the industry and know of some internship possibilities.

Hi Charlie,

Whilst at the age of 14 I wasn't too concerned about work but that probably says more about me than it does you. My first job was gutting fish and, if I am totally honest, that was the best job I ever had. Anyway...

You're near Banbury, right? The best thing to do, rather than ponder about how to get jobs, is to get stuck in to the local Tech groups. Go and attend their meetups and lunches etc - there's loads going on - and just get to know who & how the local scene works. If you do that right you'll learn loads and meet the right people. That may lead to work, it may not. But just keep going and learning.

Get involved - don't try to sell yourself; don't try to be better than anyone else, just turn up, talk to people about general stuff and see where it leads.

Revisiting the age thing, though, I don't think any of my business contacts would employ a 14-yr old. But, I will confess, I have never asked so that is my, potentially wrong, presumption.

Let's talk - keep in touch - we may be able to sort something out. Shout me on here or on Twitter. Maybe we can figure something out.

I built my first website for a company a little older but around the same age, I feel like human contact is the biggest part, find a local small business or friend and build them a website put your heart into it and give it your best shot. Just walk into a small shop, ask if they have a website, if not offer to do it for free or cheap. This is for more experience then money, if you need money now bus tables or something simple.

KEY PART do not oversell yourself be very clear with what you do and do not know. If all you can do is a static page with a nice design make sure they know that. The balance you want is them to have low needs and for you to have high expectations of your own work.

Give them your best and come back when you learn more, keep learning and improving until you have finally built exactly what they want.

Expect this to take a while and make sure they know that, if you expect two weeks tell them three.

You have plenty of time to grow and learn in this field, your website needs work it feels bland in places and the thanks to a framework feels like a generated site out of a builder.

You have built some amazing stuff, I know because I follow your Github and its pretty impressive. I love the Flask adaption of the eCommerce store!

I would try to take some more design classes (if you are interested in front end I am not and I am fine my designs look ehh). Design critics on Reddit can provide some great feedback for website but they will not baby you, expect harsh comments on the best work, I would suggest only submitting something you consider near the best you can offer.

Avoid online work for now, it is cut throat and you simply don't have the background to stand out yet. I wish you were closer to me and I could give you a hand. You have tons of time, make the most of it and become the best.

Goodluck! --Ricky
