by fat vox

Finding the perfect mobile app developer for your business is a challenging job. You can very easily search hundreds of developers online. But you need to be very careful in choosing a developer who can take your idea to the Appstore. Here are a few tips that will help you hire your dream developer:

1. Go for Many

Do not stick to the first app developer you find. Get quotes from multiple experienced developers. You get to learn more about your own project by talking to them. This serves a dual purpose: help you find the right person along with refining your app idea.

2. Stop Being Penny wise and Pound Foolish

Working with the right person is very important than saving a few hundred dollars in building your product. So never go for lowest bids. It may neither be the best nor the cheapest option. There are many cases where going with the cheapest alternative has left business owners hanging midway through their project. Always remember, you get what you pay for. Hire reputable and experienced mobile app developers. Even if you go for a fresher, make sure that he would be able to meet your expectations.

3. Test their Common Sense

You do not need to be an expert to interview a mobile app developer. Just clarify all your doubts and see if they can provide satisfactory answers. Ask them simple questions about the project. Like, will the app work with GPRS? Which social media sites can be integrated with the app? Get all the answers you need. If the developers try to dodge away such queries, run away, fast.

4. Check out their Website

A picture is worth more than a thousand words. Dig through the developer’s website and portfolio prior to the interview. Do the designs impress you? If yes, that’s great. If no, how do you think the developer will impress you? In case the developer does not have a website, please, stay away.

5. Assess past performance

Download their apps from the Appstore. Determine if their apps have the look and feel that you desire. If possible try to contact the past clients to know more about their conduct.

6. Examine their Versatility

You would surely want your app across multiple platforms. Most common of them being iOS, Blackberry OS and Android. Go the app developer who is familiar with these platforms. Moreover, your app must fit a variety of gadgets like tablets, readers, smartphones etc. Make sure they are able to tailor your app for all viewing screens.

7. Ask for Support

Mobile app developers must be dedicated enough to provide ongoing technical support, at least for a few months. Enquire if they are ready to handle the bugs, once the app reaches the customers.

8. Explore the Development Process

Never go for developers who promise to start coding right away. Mobile application development is a meticulous process and requires a planned approach. The developer should be able to explain you different stages of this process

Having a mobile app for your business is the need of the hour. Therefore, choosing the right developer is a crucial decision. Never hurry through it. Examine all aspects of your project and hopefully you can widen your customer base with your new app.
