What to Consider When Hiring an App Developer
It is important to hire an app developer who is
well versed in cross-platforms or android apps
development to ensure you leverage the increasing
numbers of mobile internet users. Whether you are
developing an Android, Windows or iOS app, you
should rely on a developer who understands the
guidelines on each of these platforms. These
experts also help make improvements over
time. With so many unscrupulous mobile app
developers out there, you must be cautious to
avoid burning your fingers. Below is a guide to
help you find the best mobile app service and
guarantee a high ROI

Understand Your Target Audiences
Before hiring the mobile app developer, you
should have an idea of the people who will be
using your app. This information will help in the
development stages and the developer expects you
to have an idea of the same. To know your
audience, create personas about them and then
identify their demographics, preferences,
shopping habits among other traits. With such a
profile, it becomes easier to tell the developer
what type of mobile app you need.

The Mobile Developers Portfolio  
There are many individuals who advertise their
services as expert developers but they have no
portfolio to prove themselves. As such, take time
to understand the type of developer you are
working with by asking for references. Look at
the apps they have built for other clients
especially those in your niche and evaluate their
quality and functionality. Ask which operating
system they are well versed in and their UI/UX
skills to determine whether they can efficiently
work on the mobile app you want.
9
The Total Cost
Before hiring a mobile app developer, it is
always advisable to get a several quotes before
finally choosing one. You should ask for the type
of billing, which can be for the total project or
in hourly basis. The contract should delineate
very cost involved including cost of revision
after launch, customization costs, security and
upgrade costs, maintenance costs, agreement
cancelation costs and any other costs that are
expected. This helps you budget in advance.
10
Working Relationship
The person you hire to develop your app should be
easy to work with. They should easily bond with
your in-house team and easily communicate the
strategies they are going to use. A strong
working relationship means ideas are shared
openly and through brainstorming, it becomes
easier to come up with a better mobile app. When
there is trust between both parties, there is
more productivity during the project.
11
Consider A Long Term Vision
The internet market is volatile and there are
rapid changes emerging every day. As such, you
have to develop an app that can easily
accommodate more changes and the developer is in
a position to help with this. More importantly,
ask your mobile developer about the possibility
of upgrading and tweaking the design if need be
and the cost involved in such a project.
12
Conclusion
Well, there are other factors to consider before
hiring a mobile apps development
company including their flexibility, innovative
capacity, ability to monetize, type of testing
the developer proposes, post-development services
and user experience. All these factors help you
to hire the right person for the job and you
should make sure to get a clarification on each
in order to find the best expert.
