Mention the objectives or the parameters critical in determining the time frame of developing software.
The most critical parameter is to be as detailed as possible in terms of technical requirements. Another key factor is how fast the client answers to additional questions and who is associated with the processes described in the technical specifications. Two more important points are desired project releases and allocated budget.
How much effort in terms of time goes into developing the front end and back end of software?
It’s hard to say because it depends on different factors including the type and complexity level of the project.
What are the key parameters to be considered before selecting the right framework for developing software?
Depending on the project stage, size and type, our specialists recommend to the clients the best technology stack and help them to set up the most efficient workflow.

What are the key factors that you consider before deciding the cost of software?
Regarding the estimation, a lot of factors influence the final price and time. The detailed specification and user stories are very helpful in the first stage. Also, we always take into account deadlines and required team structure (CEO, CMO, business analyst, etc.)
What kind of payment structure do you follow to bill your clients? Is it Pay per Feature, Fixed Cost, Pay per Milestone (could be in phases, months, versions etc.)
We are working with Time and Material model and charge our clients per hour. We send them invoice twice per month. For new clients we usually ask for prepayment in the first week or two.
