You can speak to or ask for references from their old customers. Or if you don’t find their portfolio in the first place, you can directly reach them to ask about your queries.
Experienced Development Team
If your project involves a detailed interaction with the project development team, always ask which technicians are involved in your project. In order for them to understand your point of view and develop the project as required by yourself, it is important to discuss with them before development. This is very important, particularly if your project is a long-term project. A more suitable way is to have a project manager for your project. Ask if the company can assign a project manager for your task. If you get one, you can directly communicate with him/her to get the updates and progress of the tasks as well as deliver your comments on those to the respective personnel.
Pricing Structure
