Finding the right developer for your website/system is very important and is also a tedious process. However, you are not alone. Here are some of the best questions to ask your developer just to ensure you are selecting the right one(s). 

 

  • What service(s) do you provide?

Different developers provide different services which mean their package, pricing and delivery times are different. It is your duty to ensure that they are able to deliver and the service they provide works for you. Make a list of the features that you wish to include in your package and ensure that these are discussed and can be met. 

 

  • What is the delivery time on this project?

Having a deadline for your project and knowing if the prospective developer is able to deliver in that particular time frame is rather important. Knowing such information saves you time. As all developers work with different timelines and it is important to know that this aligns with yours.

 

 

  • Have you worked on projects similar to this one?

 

If the potential developer has worked on a project similar to yours, you know that it is easier for this developer to be able to see your vision. This also will give you peace of mind that the developer will be able to meet your deadline. If not this may take a longer tab as the potential developer will need to do research so as to deliver complete work.

 

  • Are you able to show some of the work you have done?

If at all your potential developers are hesitant you are looking at a possible “red flag”. This is usually where the potential developers are happy to show off as they will be selling themselves and you will be able to evaluate the competency of the individual you will be doing business with.

 

  • Will I have read-write privileges? 

It is necessary for your website or systems to be updated on time, as it is inevitable that information changes as time goes by. It is a need to know how your potential developer will incorporate this feature. This can be done through your updating or the developer offering maintenance service.

 

  • How involved will I need to be on the project?

In getting the result(s) that you need you should have this conversation with your potential developer letting them know what level of involvement you want to have. This is just to let the developer know if you want to have a say in the major and minor decision or they have complete anatomy. 

 

  • Will I be able to revise the project with a member of your team?

The answer to this question should always be a resounding yes. Your potential developer should always be willing to work with you to ensure that your project is well done. 

 

  • How close are you willing to work with my team?

Your potential developer should feel comfortable with working with your team as you are both aiming at one common goal. Your potential developer should naturally feel like a team member and not just someone you hire.

 

  • How will we keep in touch during the process?

This is important as you will need to keep up with your potential developer. At Larvation Web we currently communicate via email, phone calls and meetings, these are usually frequent.

 

  • What is the cost of your service?

Last but never least the talk of price. It is important that you remember only you know what you can afford. As you may notice most web development companies never post their prices Larvarion Web is one such company. You are always free to do your research and compare your prices.
