Do you have an app idea but don’t know where to start? Outsource it! That is how!

We now live in a world where the saying “there’s an app for that” has become literal and the norm. Because there really is an app for everything and we have reached a point where businesses need an app to thrive in this very competitive business field. But truth be told, it will be a huge headache for businesses because not everyone has an app developer on their team and hiring one will be difficult as talent is in short supply and expensive to maintain. The solution? Why not outsource it? Why and how? Read on, you might find that it’s easier than you think.

Define

Making an app is not as easy as making a website. It can involve a lot of self-reflection and asking deep questions. Why an app? What is the app for? Is it an extension of your website? Is it for a service or promotion or program of your business? Is it just for one time use or do you want to monetize it and make it sustainable? Android, iPhone or both? Who are your audience? Is it for your employees or your customers? These are some questions that you need to answer and define before approaching an application developer. You need a solid foundation and definition of what the app is for; otherwise, it will leave the application developer confused.

Investigate

Once you’ve defined and put everything in place and have a solid concept of what you want, it’s time to find a developer that hits the sweet spot you want. Outsourcing can be suspicious and if you don’t do your research to find an app developer to take care of your app, the consequences can be costly and time consuming. Check the background and experience of the developer. Are they more competent and skilled on iOS? Can you afford another app developer who specializes in Android, or do you want someone who specializes in both? You may also want to check out their body of work and testimonials from other clients so you can get a better understanding of your potential partner. Outsourcing requires trust and giving up some technical and creative control, so you better find someone worthy of your investment in this business.

Communicate

Knowing your potential app developer or partner is crucial, as you can ask the tough questions to clear the smoke and clearly prepare them for the plans you have for your app. On outsourcing projects as large and expensive as this, you need to have clear communication with them. This is also a time when you can observe and evaluate the person or company that creates the application and get to know them well. Hosting a meeting can help you all negotiate the price, and if the price is too high for you, it also provides a platform for the app developer to explain and justify the price for doing so. This is much more professional than completely ignoring a future developer just because you find it expensive, it’s also a learning experience for you!
