Whether you want to make your company page, a web application, or implement a CMS such as WordPress or Joomla, the right professional to help you is a web developer.
When hiring a programmer, sometimes you can not know how to choose the best, because it is not your professional area or know anything about it.
This can fill you with uncertainty when choosing a candidate and you may feel lost about it.
That is why today we are going to give you some simple but important tips that you must follow in order to be able to hire.
#1. Ask what you need and ask what programming language you will use
The first thing to do is to ask the programmer what you need, so that you can make a proposal based on it.
Websites
If it is your business website, it is a good idea to see examples of other similar business web pages, you can also see sites that are popular to get an idea of what the trends are.
Ask the platform that will use and if you can integrate plugins such as for comments, social networks, etc.
Very important:
Ask the person for a portfolio or links where you can see other sites you have made. Check if you do them using templates and if you can customize them.
When you see your portfolio, check who has made the design proposals of the sites and if you know a little about design
The goal is to know if you can advise you on the visual aspect so that your page is not only functional, but pleasant for the visitor.
Finally, ask if you can maintain your site once you are online.
# 2 Web apps
After you have explained to the freelancer what your project is about and the goal to be clear is clear, ask what programming language will do the job.
This is just for you to do a little research (on the internet or with other professionals) to inform you about it.
It does not mean that you study it, but you get an idea of how that language is in the software development market, since some programming languages are more quoted than others.
Yes, you can save money:
The language in which it is programmed can cause the price you pay to be reduced by half or more. Check the popularity of the language.
The most popular are these:
Java, Python, C #, PHP, JavaScript, Visual Basic .NET, Perl, Ruby or Ruby on Rails, Delphi / Pascal Object, Visual Basic, Swift, Objective-C, etc.
The programming languages that have more demand and less programmers who know it, probably are more expensive, since those resources are very coveted.
It seeks a balance between a programming language with a good reputation and at the same time there are enough professionals in the market that can use it.
Do not forget to also ask if you can provide maintenance and support once the project is finished.
#3. Experience you own
If it is a page for a small business, the best option may be a programmer who may not have much experience, but knows what is necessary and will give you a good price.
In contrast, if your project involves complex controls, processes or tools, the best is a web developer with experience in similar projects, who can advise you and get the job faster, because he knows what he does.
