Ignite Software — Waterford

Ignite Software is based at Cleaboy Business Park in Waterford. Much software work can be done remotely, so ask whether the company can take on a project for a business outside the town, and how it would hold meetings with you.

Fees for app development depend mainly on the project scope and features, on whether the work is quoted as a fixed project or charged by the hour, and on whether you hire a freelancer or an agency. The App Developer price guide gives typical prices in Ireland, so you can use it to judge a quote.

For this kind of work, ask Ignite Software which qualifications its developers hold and how long they have built software for businesses. Ask who will write the code and which past projects are similar to yours. Clear answers on experience will tell you more than a job title does.

At a first consultation it is usual for the developer to ask about your business, the problem you want solved and how the software would fit with your current systems. You can ask what the meeting includes, whether there is a charge for it, and what the next step would be. Ask for a written summary of the scope afterwards.

There are no Google reviews for Ignite Software yet, so you can ask the company for references from recent clients. Speaking with a client who has had a similar project can show you how the work was planned, how changes were handled and whether deadlines were met.

Bring a clear description of the problem or goal, the tools and systems the software needs to work with, and any examples of apps or designs you like. It helps to note who will use the software, what a successful result looks like and when you would like it in use.

You can ask Ignite Software for a quote by phone or through its website, or contact it through its Locufy page. Include what you want the app to do, where it will be used, any files or examples you already have, and when you need it to be ready.
