5 Question You Need To Ask When Hiring A Mobile App Development Company

We usually came across with the client stories about the sufferance during their journey of app development , when they initially engaged with app development company . This problem can be overcome by asking them a set of few question , before starting any of your project .

1) Will I Own The Source Code

Imagine you have paid for the whole software , and at the end you are getting only the end product and not the source code . This is nothing other than intentionally holding the right of your application and its intellectual right . Suppose you want to change something in application or want to add on some things , then that developer might charge the price they want and will do work as per their working condition . Secondly , when you want to search for the investors or want to hire own developers , then at that point also you will be requiring source code .

Everyone’s has limited budget , but leaving the source code to any app developer is bad idea just to save few bucks.

2) How Will You Estimate Cost & Schedule Of My Project

Every client is curious at the very first stage of development about knowing the cost of the project and the time it will take to develop the whole project . Well that’s a difficult question !! It can be predicted correctly only if you have the correct estimate of the project . It’s really been difficult to give the correct time on over just 5 minutes phone call . Be wary of firms who offers low bid on your project without understanding your requirement , after a brief meeting with you . They might just want to grab the new project , and probably not bothered about understanding your needs . These type of vendor is good at the beginning but later on will create a huge problem for you and your project .

Well when talking about the time , time can only be estimated in technical field if you have the correct known requirement for your project . But in case you find later on few additional things which are required in your app , then obviously it will take additional time . So handling this kind of situation , you must go on with the hourly basis pricing with your developer , as fixed pricing is generally proven bad for your project .

3) If I Am Not Happy With How A Project Is Progressing , Can I Get Out Of Contract ?

Always make sure that you have the ability to get out of the project or any type of agreement with development company , if you are unsatisfied with your experience . At any point you must have the ability to get the source code and design and move on to some other developer . After all you are paying for the services , and its your choice whether to choose the one or other developer .

4) Can I Meet In Person With App Developers And Designers ?

If your developers don’t have the question to this answer , then that agency is 100 % outsourcing your project to freelancer or any other contractor . That is obviously not the way Winklix work . You can meet our developers and designer spread over Noida , Pune , Mumbai , New York and London .

5) How Do You Test ?

If someone tells you testing is basic QA after the app building , then you must not choose that app development company. Testing is an important part of the project and should me implemented throughout the developmental process . At Winklix , we offer different testing methods to ensure bug free delivery of the mobile application .

YOUR DIGITAL PRODUCT IS DROWNING. A UX REVIEW IS THE LIFEBOAT YOU NEED.

A mobile development company is always focussed on successful launch of app. But it may happen that your app does not get the response that you expected. The reasons behind the unexpected response are as follows:

Impractical Expectation

For the successful launch of an app, only a good idea is not enough. To make a product successful it requires the perfect blend of a brilliant idea, a perfect strategy, good execution of the plan and a bit of luck.

While choosing an app development company, it may happen that you have unrealistic approach which the mobile app development company may not understand. Either the deadline is too unrealistic or you don’t have sufficient funds to fulfil your expectations. It may also happen that the app designers are not good enough to fulfil your expectation.

To create a good design, a decent amount of time, great designing skills are needed. A brilliant design provides a great user experience to the user. Make sure that the designer understands your high expectations so that they can execute the plan according to you high expectations.

App gets out-dated

With time, website designs, apps layout, user requirements changes. With the change in trends, it is essential to keep app and website up-to-date otherwise your product will lag behind. So it is very essential to keep an eye on the current market trends to be successful.

A good product needs continuous evaluation. Analyse the reviews and suggestions by the users. Test your product and if necessary make the changes to your product iteratively. This will ensure that you app does not get out-dated and it continue to improve. Don’t take any shortcuts as shortcuts are way to failure.

Choose the professionals for building you product!!

It may happen that you are a small business company and have a limited amount of budget due to which you decide to build the website by yourself using the services of readymade templates from websites like shopify and squarespace. But by using these websites, most of the times your website will not get success.

So it is better to consult the experts for building the websites and even for apps. These companies provide you a cutting edge technology to build your website or app and will give you an upper hand over others. Winklix is an experienced and reputed company which has a mastery over developing websites and apps.
