How to find and choose app developers in Portsmouth
We would rather you hire well than hire us. Use this checklist with every developer you talk to:
- Get a written scope. A list of screens and features protects both sides and makes the quote meaningful.
- Be careful with very low fixed quotes. A quote far below everyone else usually means features were missed or corners will be cut.
- Pay by milestone. Avoid paying everything upfront. Pay for each stage after you have seen it working.
- Agree how you will communicate. Settle on a weekly call, a chat channel and one point of contact before work starts.
- Ask about support after launch. Phones and store rules change every year. Find out who fixes things after launch, and what it costs.
Ask us about any of these on your first call.
