Point Checklist before accepting the Web Development Projects

Whenever a client approaches you with a particular project, you first need to go through a few details in order to decide if the project is suitable for you or not. In this blog, we are going to discuss some points which could possibly help you decide whether to accept a project or not.

Let’s discuss some of these points in brief...

1. Timelines

Time is always a major factor in any project. Many companies claim to deliver the project in short time but just claiming isn’t enough. Also if you’re working on multiple projects at a single time, you will be overburdened with work and so will your developers. What if the client is expecting for the product to be delivered within a short span of time but your developers are already working on other projects then you will not be able to deliver the project on time which will leave your client unsatisfied. Always keep a track of time schedule before accepting any project because you don’t want to leave your customers unsatisfied and your developers overburdened.

2. Budget

When talking about project budget, budget and client’s requirements go hand in hand. A client should be aware that their overall budget will put the project in a certain direction. The more the requirements of the client, the more the overall budget of the project. Although we try our best to offer the best services in the affordable budget still there are some situations in which we cannot do much. Also, we don’t want our clients to face the problem of ovto pay for many more such as maintenance, marketing, 3rd party services etc.

3. Technology

Technology is certainly one of the most important factors. Clients sometimes have a desire to build their store on a particular with a particular technology. The problem occurs when technology is not fit for a particular project. It is very important to know whether a specific technology is suitable for a project and to which extent. Technology is the key and technology fit is undoubtedly one of the important factors to be kept in mind before accepting any project.

4. Expectations

It is important for both the sides to have a good understanding of the project. That’s the only way to have healthy relationships. We need to be aware of our roles, work that has to be done, our responsibilities, only then we will be able to maintain and build a relationship. Fulfilling expectations of clients is our duty but promising something that we can’t fulfill leaves a very bad impression of your company on the client. Just promising something for the sake of accepting the project is the worst thing you can do. This will create distrust in the mind of your clients for your company and every promise you failed to fulfill will come back and haunt you in the future.

5. Future perspective

It is difficult to even start a project without a perspective. We need to take in consideration of the client’s needs, business model as well as their short and long term plans. It is important to foresee future together and work in that direction because tomorrow’s fate is depended upon today’s planning. Sometimes, everything might look perfect but if we don’t have the vision we can’t reach there. Having a future perspective is thus very important for the business to run smoothly in long run.

6. Communication

Having proper communication from both sides is very important. There should be proper communication and the developers should be available to solve client’s queries and questions regarding their project. If your client or agency has a problematic, delayed communication, your project might be delivered late than the promised date. The communication gap can have many different reasons such as the other side is too busy, the person who you’re talking with doesn’t understand the project etc. You need to take care of all these things and manage to have efficient communication with the other party.
