What To Ask A Coder Prior To A Project
I'm wondering what kind of questions I should pose and a ball park fee range I should be aware of to discuss this with a coder.
I posted here instead of the main forum, since I want to find out the information direct from those who do this type of work.
The software I'm looking to have created is a mind mapping software for the legal market, incorporating some unique features for this industry and it has to be cross platform, Windows/Linux/Mac OS X.
The currently available mind mapping software is lacking in certain features for what I need for this market, but the software would be based on MindNode Pro and FreePlane. (Can't really go into some of the specific features I'm looking for, for obvious reasons. I can say that the product has to be simple to use with a short learning curve.)
I'm a few months out from actually contacting a coder to create this software.
In summary what I'm seeking is:
What type of questions should be posed to the coder;
(I'm aware of some of the basic questions, experience, samples, etc.)
Cost range for a project of this type.
(No, I'm not looking to spend $10K, looking at the low to moderate range for cost. Low being under $500, moderate being under $1,500. I have no idea if this is realistic or not.)
Would this be an easy project or a very difficult one.
Any additional information I should pay attention to or be aware of.
So coders, please share with me the inside secrets of what you would ask of a coder you would have doing a project for you.
Thanks for your help.
