This discussion is about web development costs and how to cut them by around 35%.

Quotes for designing websites/ mobile apps must have surprised you no end. Wild swings in budgets and wilder claims wrapped with a heavy dose of jargon are enough to send people on a spin. If you wish that someone could give a transparent plan that tells upfront what you get and what you have to pay, here are the ideas.

Fixed cost quote:

Typically web development companies give you an estimate for the total project, a fixed cost quote. Based on your brief, lots of points are set out on the features and capabilities that will be built into the website/ shopping cart; or how the mobile app is constructed. The catch is in the fine print that talks of Change Requests and additional costs for extra features.

As the shopping cart/ mobile app gets underway, it’s inevitable that you need changes or tweaks. Believe this, web is such a dynamic environment, no one can plan a project with 100% certainty. And, when you ask the web designer for a change/ additional feature, you are presented with additional budget requests.

The bigger issue that, very few web design organizations allow you to interact with the developer actually working on your app or cart. You won’t have a clue until the demo site is up and usually at that stage it’s too late to make any worthwhile modifications.

Hire your own developer company:

The better possible alternative is to hire remote developers from an experienced design company that offers you the best of both the worlds. A company that provides flexible “Hire as per need” and facilitates direct interaction between you and the developers.

If you think this is in fact a unique model, yes, that’s what we offer.
