Hire app developers in Washington
There is no single right way to hire. Some Washington businesses want a fixed price for a clear project, others want a developer on call each month. Pick the model that suits your budget and how sure you are about the features.
Fixed-price project
Best when you know what the app should do. Written scope, agreed price, milestone payments.
Hourly developer
Best for small jobs, fixes and ideas that are still changing. Weekly time reports.
Dedicated developer
A developer who works only on your app, about 160 hours a month. Good for long roadmaps.

Finding a reliable app developer: a quick checklist
Most app projects that go wrong could have been saved by asking a few questions at the start. Before you hire anyone, check these:
- 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.
- Agree how you will communicate. Settle on a weekly call, a chat channel and one point of contact before work starts.
- Sign an NDA if your idea is sensitive. Any serious developer will sign one before you share the details.
- Ask about support after launch. Phones and store rules change every year. Find out who fixes things after launch, and what it costs.
- Ask who actually writes the code. Some agencies pass work on to other teams. You should know who is building your app.
Ask us about any of these on your first call.
