Questions to Ask Before Any Web Development Project

Questions to Ask Before Any Web Development Project

Do you want to start a new web development project but don’t know how? Here we prepared for you the top 5 W-questions that you, as a business owner, should ask yourself before choosing an executor for your web project.

1. What is this project aimed at?

Frequently clients can’t predict what will be better for their business. As for Exposit, we start the project only with deeper understanding of client’s motivations. We know how to help their business grow as we provide software that is not only good-looking but functions properly. Firstly, you must ask yourself such questions:

  • What devices do my clients use?
  • Is my software project intended for a corporate use?
  • Can the mobile app run without a web version?
  • Do I need data management for things like e-commerce or content development?
  • Is it necessary to customize chosen web app?

2. Who is our Target Audience?

When developing a project from scratch, it is essential to clearly understand the customer’s target audience. All necessary information should be collected from the client, followed by providing feedback on the technical feasibility of the project and the relevance of the requested functionality.

For example, in one case the client requested both a web and a mobile application. After analyzing the requirements and target audience, it was determined that a responsive web application would be sufficient. This approach helped optimize both time and budget.

3. When do I need Backend or Frontend developers for my project?

The type of web developer to engage depends on the specific functionality that needs to be implemented in the web application.

  • Backend development is essential for tasks such as improving server performance, designing application architecture, managing data, implementing APIs, integrating blockchain technology, and enabling the frontend to function properly.
  • Frontend development is required when building the client side of a web application. This includes creating user interfaces based on design mockups, developing adaptive and responsive layouts, and ensuring cross-browser and cross-platform compatibility.
  • A balanced option is to involve Full Stack Developers, who work on both the server and client sides and can provide end-to-end solutions, such as developing plugins or integrated tools.

4. Where to find a good web developer?

As an entrepreneur you may have a long list of concerns, as there exist many software solutions companies. You may choose outsourcing or local company, small startups or huge software programming companies. But there prevails one big advantage. It is better to choose medium-size firms that have already been on the market for more than 5 years. They know their value and have aspiration to grow in quality and quantity.

5. Why do I need this web developer?

The right web developer is someone who is not only excellent at what he does but also in tune with what the client wants. The person who will listen to your suggestions and give you useful advice from a technical point of view on how you should approach the project. Your web developer should better capture your vision for the application.

Remember: when choosing a web developer, you are very much choosing a marketing partner for your business.
