INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUSTOM SOFTWARE or MOBILE APPS:
To receive a bid on your software development project, please follow this checklist:

1. Draft a description of what your project is about. Include illustrations or diagrams wherever possible.
a. Storyboards/wireframes, preferably in MS PowerPoint
b. Brief project description with lists of desired features, hardware requirements, flow charts, & desired operating systems
c. Approximate budget – low to high range is ideal. Our rate is: $50-150/ hour depending on the complexity and team required for the project. Different tasks require different skill sets, thereby incurring different fees.
d. User profile – who will use this software, why, when, how, where
e. Indicate desired start date & completion time [days, weeks, months], and
f. Whether or not a NDA is required.
g. Be sure to include your full name, postal address, email address, area code & phone number, company name & title, if applicable, so that we may prepare a development agreement for you to sign once we’ve established working terms.

2. Respond to our estimate. We can work with you to meet your budget whenver possible. Please remember, an agile environment is more costly due to on-going changes incolved with engineering specifications. A fixed environment requires more pre-production effort, but usually cuts down on costs.

3. Send us a formal or informal authorization for work & 1/3 projected fees up front, 1/3 after first version, and final 1/3 upon completion.

4. Suggest any changes to our initial proposal compiled from your specs.

5. Sign off on final proposal so project may commence.
