    FAQ

    What is the impact of the programming language and technical architecture?

    Development languages

    There are many development languages out there, and all of them have their pros and cons. However, choosing the ‘wrong’ language can result in delays, higher costs, impossibilities, a complete rebuild, or even have the project failing as a whole. Therefore, it is essential to not only state your current desire but also elaborate on your future plans / vision. If an agency always sticks to ‘one favorite language’, it is highly likely they don’t operate in your best interest. Whenever the agency goes a bit deeper, elaborate on the characteristics, and let you ultimately decide – you can confidently say the first red flag has turned green.

    Technical architecture

    Besides simply choosing the ‘right’ language, it is also important to think about the architecture. The architecture states if it can scale, how stability will be assured, and many other relevant variables. Any agency should first draw out a proper architecture and be able to thoroughly elaborate on this. This is simply because this will be the core principle of potential success (or failure).

    A fixed timeline and price is always best right?

    Of course, the cost

    The cost is always an important factor while finding the right match with an agency. And of course, it is very nice to know exactly beforehand what the exact costs are. But, let me ask you this: “do you exactly know what your product will look like?”. Exactly, of course, you don’t.

    Therefore, every process – which is free of form – needs flexibility built-in. Meaning that, for example, a range of hours or an indication based on user stories means that the agency knows that they need to be flexible.

    Timeline – how long would it take?

    Similar to the price, a timeline can also differ whenever the project changes. However, sometimes you just need to assure a certain deadline. Therefore, an agency should always take into account a certain % for an unpredicted delay (a third-party API not working for example). Besides, if the timeline is fixed the agency should state beforehand that extra resources can be dedicated whenever extra hours are necessary. Any other way, this would not be realistic.

    This is broadly known as one of the most common mistakes within the development, ruining momentum and delaying product launches off many companies. So be aware, and definitely, be realistic instead of optimistic.
