You turn to developers and get quotes ranging from $20,000 to $200,000 for the same app. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Who do you trust?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Should you go for the cheapest option available, or will money buy quality?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As an entrepreneur, it is absolutely important that you choose the right development team to build your app. But it isn\u2019t easy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beyond price differences, different teams suggest different technologies. Your team of executives might not be technically skilled enough to understand these different technologies, and you\u2019ll be left confused.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To help you with that decision-making process we present you with,<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Top 3 Things To Look Out For When Hiring An App Development Agency or Freelancer:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2><b>1. Due Diligence towards Developer Competence<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most important thing for you to ascertain is the capability of the developer. Do they have <\/span><b>the ability<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to do what you want? If they cannot deliver your vision, then it doesn\u2019t matter how low the price offer may be. If a developer is able to execute your vision better than what you can imagine, they may well be worth a higher price.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But how do you check if they have the ability or not? You can\u2019t just ask developers directly unless you want several \u201cyes\u201d answers. However, so many businesses make this mistake of just going by the words of the quoting developers. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, ask for proof of skills \u2014 look at their portfolio of apps and websites. Ask them for their 3 best apps. Use it. See if you like the design and intuitively understand the UI. Have they built an app that\u2019s better in quality and functionality than the app you are trying to build? If not, understand it\u2019s a risk if you just assume they will deliver superior quality just for your app. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t stop with just checking their apps out. Ask for references from previous customers, especially the customers of the apps you liked the most. If you are dealing with overseas developers, it\u2019s possible that they just provide you link to apps that they actually did not work on. \u00a0Contact the client of that app and ask them if they were happy with the developer and if the project was delivered within time and budget.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>These 2 steps are basic common sense due diligence. But it\u2019s very uncommon.\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A shocking number of founders take developers at their word, lazy to do their due diligence and $50,000 later, they experience a rude awakening.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Professionalism is an invaluable asset, and trying to save money with an unprofessional or unqualified developer is a surefire way to waste money, take on stress, and give time for competition to get a head start on you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Detailed Scoping<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second most common mistake entrepreneurs make is to provide a vague scope of their app. There are founders, executives who try to explain their idea over the phone or try to get a quote based on a 1-page brief.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t do that! By doing this, you leave the interpretation of your app to the developer. Unclear instructions are a one-way trip to headache town.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>You need to do the exact opposite \u2014 be hyper-specific.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Create wireframes of every screen of your app, and create detailed user stories covering every feature. Then use these mockups to get a quote from your developer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, this is a lot of work, and yes, the development team has designers as well, but if you give them an incomplete brief, their interpretation might be completely different from what you wanted. Every developer you get quotes from has their own interpretation of what you want. So no wonder the quotes are going to vary a lot. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Creating a detailed document and wireframes of your app also helps you judge your own commitment to your business.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Do you know exactly what you want in your app? Being clear from the start will ensure your project doesn\u2019t overrun on budget or time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create wireframes of every screen of your app, and create detailed user stories covering every feature.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, at <a href=\"https:\/\/appomate.com.au\/what-type-of-mobile-apps-does-appomate-build\/\">Appomate<\/a>, we have a process called \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/appomate.com.au\/why-app-prototyping-see-it-before-you-build-it\/\">See It Before You Build It (SB4UB)<\/a>\u201d, where we help you see your app before we write a single line of code by creating a visual prototype of your entire app. You can take this visual prototype output we create and use that to get a quote from other developers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember, if a developer gives you a fixed quote without this kind of detail, but only based on a phone call or a 1-page brief, <\/span><b>they might just be desperate to get your business,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and will likely overrun on budget and time and never deliver what you want.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Character fit <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you knew for sure that someone is arrogant and difficult to work with, would you hire them?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The character and attitude of the team you work with is much more important than the technology they use. You don\u2019t need to get caught up in specific tech \u2014 that world is constantly changing. Does the developer exhibit an eagerness to learn, adopt new technologies and not use legacy technology? Do they have evidence to support their use of a tech stack? If yes, then this relationship is likely to work well. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is much more important to know if your wavelengths match. Once your project starts, you\u2019ll be spending a lot of time with your development team. There can be miscommunication. You might change your mind about a feature, or a competitor\u2019s action might force a change of direction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The character and attitude of the team you work with is more important than the technology they use. It is vital to know they actually care about you and your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you able to catch up with your developer over coffee? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can you have conversations with them outside the scope of your project to understand who they are as a person? <\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Do you like them?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are they flexible enough to accommodate changes?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the answer to any of these is \u2018No\u2019 at the beginning of the project, then it\u2019s unlikely to improve during the work cycle. If you can\u2019t fully trust them during the sales process, where they\u2019ll likely be at their best behavior, then it might be best to look for someone else.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/appomate.com.au\/about-us\/\">See what our clients say about us<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The more care you put into the initial process, the fewer problems you will run into later. Sadly, many founders rush this critical step of finding the right team and it could be a very costly mistake. You don\u2019t just lose tens of thousands of dollars but you will miss the opportunity and the timing to launch your app to the market. So get out there and be smart about how you choose who to work with. Following these 3 simple steps will ensure you are making the right choice about who you want to invest your hard earned money with. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/appomate.com.au\/contact-us\/\">Sign up for the &#8220;See It Before You Build It (SB4UB)&#8221; and get a quote for your app<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; This Critical Step In Building A Successful App Can Be A Costly Mistake Your app is ready to be built, but who will build it?
