The cheapest quote is rarely the cheapest project. Cost-effective development means spending on the parts that are expensive to change later, and saving on the parts that are not.
Spend here
- The data model — it outlives every screen built on top of it.
- Authentication, payments and anything regulated.
- Automated tests and a deployment pipeline from the first sprint.
Save here
- Custom design for internal admin screens — use a proven component kit.
- Features nobody has asked for yet.
- Native apps when a responsive web app would do the job.
Reading a quote
A good quote lists what is in scope, what is out of scope, and what happens when the scope changes. If a quote cannot tell you those three things, the low number on it is not the number you will pay.
Topics
- Budgeting
