By choosing a software team you are choosing a business partner. So they should have strong technical skills for creating a high quality product that you need and be reliable and open. Trust is a very important criterion, if you know that you can rely on the team you are working with you can focus on development and creativity.

It is any type of the software (application, portal, website) that was created to be sold to users for solving tasks or used by business for its commercial needs.

You need to describe what your idea is, what problems it is supposed to solve and imagine how it should look like or find some alternative solutions that are existing in the area of your interest. When the research is done, the best option is to request a consultation with several software development companies to see their vision and solutions offered.

To share information on the web is enough to use a website builder like WIX, Tilda, etc. To have a website or portal that supports interaction with users is required to have a custom solution. It can be created by developers from scratch taking into account the needs of your business.

If you are not sure that you are ready to start working on the description of your product or you have a lot of technical questions, it is not necessary to hire a team of developers. First you can arrange a free consultation with IT specialists who will help you and explain what is required to proceed with the development and how to optimize the costs.

Development fees are complex and include not only coding itself. If you want to decrease the fees you need to prepare detailed documentation and features description. More precise you are, less time will be used for discussion and less changes will be done when some pieces of it are ready. You might also discuss with the team if there any automated solutions that could be applied in order not to do everything from scratch.

The short answer to this question is never. When the IT product appears on the market, it requires maintenance. You will have users, system will be interacting with some other software, there are a lot of different things that might happen. In the majority of cases every software product requires updates and improvement, so if you want to be on top you need to add new features faster than your competitors do.

There is no definite answer to this questions. It will pretty much depend on the type of the application, its features, design, etc. But you need to realize that you can have the first version of an app within a relatively short period of time which is enough to start working on the marketing and selling your product. In our opinion there are two elements of a successful product – high quality application with neat code and design and strong marketing.
