Far too many founders pay for an app twice because they don’t know what questions to ask and what to look for in a development partner.
We created this guide after having founders hire us to fix the app they had someone else develop.
Don’t let this happen to you. With this guide you will navigate app development like a pro – even if you’re not technical.
This means you will avoid over paying, getting misled and losing your Intellectual Property.
You will learn:
1. Why formal requirements gathering is necessary for a successful build – and do not need to pay $5,000+ for it.
2. The 4 build types you must understand before you hire anyone.
3. How to prioritize must-haves vs. nice-have features so you can stretch your budget.
4. Why your Minimum Viable Product (MVP) must make money.
5. The measuring stick you need to use when evaluating developers.
6. How to determine if you need to adhere to security and compliance laws and when to incorporate them so you avoid paying twice.
7. How to determine if you need a mobile native app or a progressive mobile app and what’s the difference.
8. How to access government funding so you don’t have to pay for the entire build yourself.
9. The importance of owning your code, and development documentation, from day one.
10. How to determine the actual cost of your app so you’re not lured in by a lowball quote that explode in costs later.
The number one question we are asked is “How much will it cost to build my app.”
And the answer is “it depends”. That’s because the cost of app development is determined by the complexity of your app.
An estimate with out formal requirements gathering is just a wild guess. And, this often results founders overpaying for costly reworks down the road.
That’s why we created the App Cost Calculator.
It walks you through the questions our developer needs to understand so we can provide you with an accurate quote.
Formal requirements gathering costs upwards of $5,000.
Which is why most founders skip this critical step – and end up paying for it later.
We don’t want this to happen to you.
We’ve made the App Cost Calculator free to use so you can give some consideration to the features and complexity your app may need.
