Before starting a project, we always encourage our clients to share their goals, how they want the project to progress and any other information, as much as possible. Tell us how you want the app to run, look like and function; let us know your desired specifications and budget if possible, we can work it out with Fixed Bid.
Our Account Managers work to help gather requirements, ask the right questions, write use cases, and complete any other necessary prerequisites. Once all those are complete, we will then formulate a fixed cost and time proposal for you. Our agreement for Fixed Bid projects is determined at the beginning, that means all specifications, time estimations, and price will be decided before the start.
Note that we never sacrifice quality. When we offer a price for your project, it could include: 80% test coverage, Cucumber or Selenium for behavior testing, zero warnings on NewRelic report, achievieng our standard YSlow targets, and of course cross-browser compatibility.
