For all those who are planning to outsource, we have put together an Outsourcing Costs Guide. This is an all-encompassing guide that will tell you everything you need to know about your costs, calculations, savings, and tips to save more for a successful outsourcing relationship.
With over two-thirds of all the small businesses relying on their web applications to connect with their target customers, ticking-off web development from the business plan checklist should be a priority. Whether it is branding, marketing, remarketing, or simply being out there, having a digital presence is imperative and for that, you need web development services.
One thing that so many outsourcing success stories have taught us is- outsourcing web development is the best option if flexibility, scaling, and leveraging technology in development are things your business requires! However, how your web application, products, or website turns out depends largely on the type of outsourcing company that you choose and how you choose them
In one of our previous blog posts, titled, ‘Outsourcing In 2019: 6 Proven Tips That Ensure Success', we have discussed the importance of screening the outsourcing team like any in-house hiring for outsourcing success. For selecting an offshore company, you need to discuss the experience they have, their qualifications (e.g., does any team member hold associate project management certification),areas of expertise, and definitely check out their testimonials as well. But despite all of this, the guarantee the best partners for outsourcing web development in India or any other country would still be missing. And in order to achieve that, you need to be more specific.
While questions around the price, time to market, and technology stacks of your web product are bound to arise, there are some other questions that are generally missed out. But it is these questions that could determine how your venture of outsourcing web development turns out. This blog is dedicated to those questions. Let’s quickly throw light on them.
You can always start with this question. It tells you not just about the way the company develops a web app, mobile app, website, etc., but also how efficient they are and how much they would be involved with its development. You will also get an insight into the type of technologies they would be using, and how many web developers would be involved in the same. Their development process certainly impacts your final product and you need to be sure that that’s how you want to move forward with it.
We will share a detailed web development process to let you know about the members involved and the time taken in each sprint. Briefly speaking, as you approach us with your requirements, we analyze your idea, target market, and buyer personas first. Next, we research and plan a sitemap or wireframe that would contain major elements.
This sitemap is shared with you and if you need any changes, we incorporate the same otherwise move forward with the development part. Once everything is done, we share it with you and only move forward with the launch post its testing and review.
There is a stark difference between getting a custom-made web app and getting something that is a product of slight tweaks and modifications of existing codes. While all web development outsourcing companies promise custom development, not everyone lives up to their words. If you are planning and ‘paying’ for a custom web solution, it is important to clear everything out beforehand. After all, you wouldn’t want your website to be a replica of another one on the web.
We have expert developers sitting with us that ‘hand-code’ each and every element on your webapplication. If we are promising a custom webdevelopment, you can be assured that each megabyte of virtual space that you own would be developed from scratch and no pre-defined frameworks would be used for its creation.
