Mention the objectives or the parameters critical in determining the time frame of developing an ecommerce app.
Based on this, we can define the level of project complexity and time frames. But once again, in the correct time frame, results are very focused and the result of careful and painstaking work of the team in close cooperation with a partner.
How much effort in terms of time goes into developing the front end and back end of an ecommerce app?
What is your company’s business model–in house team or third party vendors/outsourcing?
We would like to keep full control under the delivery process and the client’s relationships, so at this moment, we consider only in-house teams.
How is your business model beneficial from a value addition perspective to the clients compared to other companies' models?
We build long term relationships. Usually, partners continue with us for the long term. We prefer to deliver instead of a promise. And be very transparent and honest with our partners (whatever this costs for us). We never put profit before quality and relationships.
What industries do you cater to? Are your clients repetitive?
What are the key parameters to be considered before selecting the right platform for an ecommerce application?
- Things to consider when choosing a technology stack:
- The first consideration is what talent do you have. If you have an existing technology team, and you’re not looking to completely replace them, your options have to be limited in your path that you choose. There are adequate e-commerce platforms for most technology stacks. We are advocates for protecting your team and culture to support the scale, so start with your available skillset.
- Have a simple sales model with a basic ecommerce funnel? You probably should look at Shopify or BigCommerce as your focus will likely be building your brand and marketing activities to drive sales. Have a complex sales funnel, possibly subscriptions, maybe direct to consumer and wholesale sales? Now you’re talking about Magento's sweet spot; any type of complex sales funnel or sales process is not best supported by a SaaS platform.
- If you need control over fields, statuses, and workflow in your e-commerce platform instead of being in a shipping platform or ERP, Magento offers open-source technology with full customization capabilities.
- Budget is a factor of cost of building, maintenance, and ongoing cost of operations. If you’re not used to making an investment in ongoing support and feature development within an e-commerce platform, Magento may take a second to get used to.
Which Content Management System do you prefer to use (Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal etc)?
What are the key factors that you consider before deciding the cost of an ecommerce application?
How big is their business, and what are their ambitions for ecommerce?
Do they already have something, or should it be built from scratch?
How complicated should the functionality be?
If there any additional integrations, restrictions, and customization?
How fast should the project go into production?
It is very individual, and there are no standard patterns because each business and client’s needs could be very different.
We deeply investigate how business works, what partners expect to have, their ideas, and wishes. Then after detailed research and analytics, we come back with a report and different options on how it can be done. Partners may choose what fits their requirements the best. After this, we create very detailed and transparent quotations and project plans.
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.).
- Fixed price-per-project: upfront and then pay-per-milestone (defined in the project plan)
- Time and Material: especially if this existing projects which could come to us full of bugs
- Fixed price-per-month: in this case partner hires developers for full-time (outstaffing model)
Do you take in projects which meet your basic budget requirement? If yes, what is the minimum requirement? If no, on what minimum budget you have worked for?
What do you think is the future of the ecommerce industry?
