When it comes to low-cost mobile app development, India comes first.
Yes, you can find affordable mobile application developers in India who can provide you with the best quality apps.
Having said above, we don’t mean that all the app developers in India are reliable & efficient.
Some of you may have had bad experiences in hiring Indian developers and a few of you may have got even more than expected.
But the question is “How to ensure hiring the best & affordable mobile app developers in India”.
In this blog, we will be talking about 7 mistakes that you must avoid while hiring mobile app developers for your project.
#1 Don’t Just Rely On Their Words
It’s very true that work speaks louder than words.
Don’t just rely merely on the words of your mobile app developer’s words. Instead, insist to check their previous works and see if they can meet your expectations or not.
Many of our clients and prospects have shared their bad experiences with their previous app developers who were quite good at communication & seemed to be confident but their quality was absolutely unacceptable.
Therefore, we always suggest checking the work quality of your mobile app developer before you hire them and award your project.
#2 Don’t Assume Cheap Is Always The Best
Cheap is not always the best. In other words, don’t choose price over skills.
A the end of the day, it’s the quality that matters, and not the price.
It may happen to you that in order to save some money, you may hire inefficient mobile app developers who can never deliver your project and as a result, you’ll have to re-hire another development company, and eventually, you will end up paying more than you had thought.
#3 Don’t Underestimate The Importance Of Communication
Communication skills are of utmost importance when it comes to the successful completion of projects, be it web design or mobile app development.
If your app developer can’t even communicate with you in a proper way, how can you expect him to complete your project?
When it comes to communication skills, you must check and make sure that your apps developer is:
a. Able to understand the project scope correctly.
b. Able to ask you logical questions based on his project understanding.
c. Able to suggest alternatives or new ideas to you.
How should you test the communication skills of your app developer?
Just talk to him over Skype or WhatsApp and ensure that he is the right app developer to hire from India.
#4 Don’t Forget To Check Their Support
What kind of support does your app developer provide?
Will he or she be available after the project completion too?
As we all know that mobile app development is not a one-time event. Instead, it’s an ongoing process. Not only that you need the developer to fix the bugs after you launch your apps, but you may also need to re-hire him again for making modifications and incorporating new features.
How should you check about the support of your app developer?
You may ask your developer to provide you with the details of their existing clients so that you can ask them for feedback on this developer.
#5 Don’t Ignore Lack Of Their Experience
Sometimes you may prefer to choose less experienced app developers over skilled ones because of their cost.
But if you think that you can hire a less experienced app developer and save some money, you may need to revise your thoughts.
Eventually, you may end up paying more than you had budgeted for your mobile app development.
The reason is simple.
Less experienced app developers give pain at a later stage when they are not able to finish the project efficiently and by the same token, experienced developers may charge you higher initially but you will be guaranteed of getting a workable mobile application.
#6 Don’t Forget To Ask For The Source Codes
During our conversations with a lot of our prospects & clients, we experienced that most of them trusted their previous app developers so much that they didn’t even ask for the source codes after the project completion.
As a result, when they were required to make changes in their apps, they had to run after their developers, and sometimes, they also had to get their apps started from scratch.
Don’t let this happen to you. Make sure before hiring any app developer that you will get an unlocked copy of the source codes of your mobile app.
#7 Don’t Forget To Consider Cross Platform Knowledge
Has your app developer got expertise in the development of only Android apps or iOS apps or both?
Before you hire an app developer in India, do make sure to confirm that he or she can develop cross-platform mobile apps.
Conclusion
Hiring an Indian app developer can be affordable but you must follow the above checks to ensure that you hire the right app developers.
