Who this is for

The writing in this category is for owners and managers weighing whether to have software built: a web or mobile app, an internal system, a customer portal or a booking system. You don't need to read code to follow it.

The questions we answer are the ones that usually come up before a contract is signed:

  • Build or buy? When custom software makes sense, and when an off-the-shelf app is enough.
  • Where to start? How to pick a small first version so the budget isn't spent on features nobody needs yet.
  • How does the work actually run? What happens at each stage, and what you should get to see every week.
  • What is fair to expect from a software house? Price, ownership of the code and accounts, and what happens if the engagement ends.
