Find the right app developer: what to check first
We would rather you hire well than hire us. Use this checklist with every developer you talk to:
- Ask who actually writes the code. Some agencies pass work on to other teams. You should know who is building your app.
- Get a written scope. A list of screens and features protects both sides and makes the quote meaningful.
- Make sure you will own everything. The code, the designs and the Google Play and App Store accounts should be in your name, not the developer's.
- Pay by milestone. Avoid paying everything upfront. Pay for each stage after you have seen it working.
- Expect regular test builds. You should be able to try the app every week or two, not only at the end.
Ask us about any of these on your first call.
