Hire a developer or a full app team
There is no single right way to hire. Some Richmond 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.

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:
- 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.
- Expect regular test builds. You should be able to try the app every week or two, not only at the end.
- Get a written scope. A list of screens and features protects both sides and makes the quote meaningful.
- Ask about support after launch. Phones and store rules change every year. Find out who fixes things after launch, and what it costs.
- Be careful with very low fixed quotes. A quote far below everyone else usually means features were missed or corners will be cut.
We are happy to be checked against every point on this list.

Small team, direct contact
You talk to the people actually building your app, not a sales team.

You get a written quote with a feature list and timeline before any work starts.
You own everything
Code, designs, store accounts and data belong to you from day one.
