How to carry out projects for non-technical founders?
You have one of the greatest ideas of your own software business, but you don’t have a technical background, huh? You don’t have to become a developer at a straight moment. It just doesn’t make sense. Instead of focusing efforts on developing your project you’ll end up swamped with poor, lonely fragments of code that simply won’t work.
“Look… I’m not a coder, but I’ve got this concept in my mind...”
You have one of the greatest ideas of your own software business, but you don’t have a technical background, huh?
You don’t have to become a developer at a straight moment and possess the Ruby, HTML, PHP, JAVA (or other languages of pronounceable or non-pronounceable acronyms).
It just doesn’t make sense.
Instead of focusing efforts on developing your project you’ll end up swamped with poor, lonely fragments of code that simply won’t work. How bad that sounds?
So, let’s make things straight: You don’t need an IT background if you want to succeed in a Startup business.
Your success depends on choosing the most suitable startup web development company.
Once you have the perfect vision and know exactly how should it work you can start looking for developers to hire. There are numbers of dev houses that offer variety of services, numbers of skilled developers, the best Project Managers and many more.
But that’s the tricky one. The decision of choosing the most adequate dev house shouldn’t be based on numbers but on: quality, transparency and communication.
It’s all about business philosophy.
Satisfied client and successful startup worth more than a single infusion of capital.
It is a well known fact that lack of communication is an usual problem that crashes every project. Doesn’t matter if developers are about to code for technical or non-technical founders. We all have to make sure we’re all walking the same direction. There are tools that help you control the workflow and communication within the dev team you are working with.
This is why it's important for you to express your ideas and intentions. Thoroughly. Don't be afraid to be as specific as you can, visualize how your product should work in a real world. No worries, you don't have to use technical language. Web experts will handle it for you.
Probably you'd be rained you with a lot of precise questions - mutual understanding is the key to your success.
Technical issues will be carefully described to you. You'll be informed about everything you’d like and should know. Your opinion does count when it comes to choosing possible solutions, the best options and alternatives.
If you choose so, you can be deeply involved in the development process itself and have significant influence on every important decision. If you feel like considering and analyzing the User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) - that's also your right.
As you can see, lack of technical abilities doesn’t have to be a roadblock on your way to success, you can still have your own stunning app or software! On the contrary, it could be one of a kind advantage. Just imagine - by outsourcing the development process, you’ll gain a lot of valuable time you can spend on promotion and marketing of your app.
