Our software project evaluation process consists of several steps:

1. Gathering initial requirements

2. Rough estimation.

   And if our project proposal and rough estimate make sense to you as a client, then we sign the NDA and all necessary documents and begin our collaboration.

   But the project evaluation is still ongoing to provide you with the clearest and most up-to-date numbers.

3. Discovery Phase

4. UX/UI design

5. Final evaluation

6. Continue work or revise of contract

   To avoid misunderstanding: the cost of discovery and UX/UI design phases are already included in the ballpark estimation.

   If the final estimation looks too high, there is always an option to cut some features or use a simpler, not-so-scalable solution.

   Finally, if the estimation of application development doesn't work well for you, there is always an option to use the results of discovery and design prototypes to raise funds with angel investors or small VCs.

The first step in a project is to learn more about your (customer's) software ideas, requirements, or expectations.

This will help us properly evaluate the project and ensure the smoothest and clearest communication possible.

As we said on the page above, we are Agile evangelists: flexible, customer-centric, and market-driven.

In other words, a product for us is a solution that competes with other existing solutions to be the best for the obvious and non-obvious pains of customers.

If your idea was to build a SaaS with automation and optimization features, but your co-founder discovered that your final users want to see blockchain, big data, or machine learning, we’ll surely follow your co-founder.

Not because we don’t like you, but because he or she talked to your final user, and don’t just imagine the product functionality.

Nope. We’re a full-cycle agency that covers everything under one roof: design to quality assurance.

At the moment, in SpdLoad, there are more than 50 developers and 20+ non-development specialists: designers, sales, marketing, HR, recruiters, and management.

There is no strict answer, but in general, the answer is that it depends on the product and how you approach marketing and customer development. If you know how to attract users and are ready to listen to them and analyze what insights they could share, there will always be work for updates.

Yes, but on different stages, it could be different people. Initially, you’ll talk to our sales representatives: Andrew or Max. Once the project is started, you’ll talk to your project manager: Olga or Kate. But for sure, you’re able to contact anyone at any time.

We always sign all necessary documents to ensure you’re the only owner of all IPs.
