Powercode

Mostly, we have everything in-house. We have complete teams and don’t need third-party vendors. In case we don’t have a specialist necessary for a project, we recruit them at the client’s request.

I won’t state that we’re the best company in the whole world because then we would stop our development and improvements. I still want Powercode to be even better, so healthy critics from me personally and our employees are always welcomed. However, I can claim that Powercode is a reliable company that always provides services of the highest quality on time. We are a big friendly team that is always ready to listen and hear clients’ demands and needs, and we do everything to follow them. Among killer points that differentiate us from many other software companies is the fact our team doesn’t have junior specialists. All employees are either middle or senior specialists. So, our clients can always be sure no one is going to learn and set doubtful experiments on their projects. In addition, we have a big team, and even if we don’t have a necessary engineer, we recruit them and never leave our clients without a solution.

Most of our clients operate in such industries as business management, education, retail and ecommerce, hospitality, fintech, and enterprise solutions. However, there are also lots of clients from other industries. 
Yes, we have loyal customers that have been working with us for many years. And we really appreciate it. Working with such clients is easier than ever because we know each other through the years and can foresee some desires that may come from such a client.

We use the approach of the "critical path" definition.

Some tasks could be implemented in parallel, others - just in series.
So creating a roadmap, we take into account the distribution of loading and can figure out if there are some blockers for another team.

It depends on the project type and needs a lot.
Some projects have complicated backend (financial calculations, transactions, associations of data from different sources, etc.)
Other projects have just simple work with a single DB and API interface to provide data to the frontend.
 

At the same time, a frontend app could provide just data representing without advanced business logic or vice versa, have numerous calculations, SDK integrations, using local frontend DB, etc.

The  key parameters to be considered before selecting the right framework are:

In terms of the project management approach, the key parameters are:

Anyway, we mostly work with the iterative approach.

JS frameworks - ReactJS, Angular2+, VueJS are our priority for frontend. For the backend, we prefer using PHP - Yii, Laravel, Python - Flask, Django, Node.js,     Express. That’s just a priority. We still can and work with many other languages and frameworks.

The cost of software development depends on a chosen business model, device type and platform, functionality, design specifications, a team of developers, and a timeline.

All three options are available at Powercode. However, usually, we work by Pay per Milestone structure. One milestone normally takes about two weeks.

We don’t set the limits intentionally. If the project is  interesting/promising/extremely useful for humanity, why not take it in?

The min price for a project in 2018 was $10K. The max was $180K. On average, projects start at $30K.

Goodfirms is a great platform that helps both companies and clients to find each other. That’s really a thing that deserves appreciation.
