How to find the right app developer in Pittsburgh
We would rather you hire well than hire us. Use this checklist with every developer you talk to:
- Ask about support after launch. Phones and store rules change every year. Find out who fixes things after launch, and what it costs.
- Get a written scope. A list of screens and features protects both sides and makes the quote meaningful.
- Agree how you will communicate. Settle on a weekly call, a chat channel and one point of contact before work starts.
- Ask who actually writes the code. Some agencies pass work on to other teams. You should know who is building your app.
- Be careful with very low fixed quotes. A quote far below everyone else usually means features were missed or corners will be cut.
Ask us about any of these on your first call.
