Benefits of Working With a UK App Developer: The Pros and Cons

After reading positive reviews and looking at a great work sample, you hired your current mobile app development team. Although the mobile development company is in another country, they offered very competitive rates which was the cherry on top. A few months later, the exciting journey that began was turned into a nightmare.
The development process is slow and frustrating. Now you want to turn over the source code of your app. Developers are pushing back. Now that they know they will lose future revenue from app maintenance and updates, they are asking for thousands of dollars more than the agreed-upon fees. You’re far away and have already paid thousands of dollars to them for the development of the app. You have no other choice than to comply with the demands of the developer.

This story should not become your company’s reality.

There are around 21 million software developers in the world, and 12 million who specialize in mobile app development. Picking an app developer can be difficult with so many options. However, it is much easier to focus your search on local companies.

There are many benefits to working with app developers UK. These include a faster idea sharing process, less delays, greater local economic benefits, and fewer legal issues. Both parties will experience a smoother and less stressful end result.

Local app developers allow for more natural idea-sharing

Distance can sometimes hinder the idea-sharing process, even with modern technology. Although screen sharing and video conferencing are possible, it is not as effective as meeting face-to-face. There have been many compelling arguments for the advantages of face-to–face meetings over video conferencing.

Working with a local business allows you to have regular meetings with them throughout the entire process. This increases your chances of getting a product that accurately represents your vision.

Avoid Timezone-Related Delays

It’s not uncommon to experience significant delays when working with app developers in other parts of the globe. These delays are caused by time zone differences and especially when approval is required to move on to the next stage.

Let’s suppose your developer is located on another continent and sends you a mockup of an app design to approve. After you have left work, it arrives at 6 pm. The developer will have finished his day by the time you send the email the next morning. Your reply won’t be viewed until 8 pm your time, which results in a loss of 24 hours. This can add up over the course of a multimonth project, and could lead to delays that could take weeks. You might have experienced a quicker turnaround if you worked with a local company. This could result in a shorter project timeline and greater productivity.

Avoid potential intellectual property and legal challenges

Sometimes, an unethical developer might be reluctant to give over the source code of an app. This is most common when the client wants to maintain and update the app internally, but the developer doesn’t want to give the source code. They fear losing recurring business. If the developer is far away, a financially strapped client might demand a higher payment in return for the source code. Usually, the only option is to pay a higher fee.

In cases where a client hires a developer to create a custom function, it is not unusual to run into intellectual property issues. This new technology often has significant market value. Some developers are unable to resist the temptation of selling their new software.

When you live in different states, issues surrounding IP theft, infringement and disputes over source codes can become complicated. It becomes even more complicated when the client is located in a different country with completely different laws. These cases are not covered by written contracts due to the high cost and uncertainty of pursuing legal action in another country.

Working with a local developer is a great way to avoid these nightmare scenarios. In the unlikely event of a business relationship going sour, both you and the developer have legal options. This provides greater security, particularly for clients who intend to invest large sums to develop proprietary technology.

Refer to Local References for More Vetting Opportunities

It can be difficult to evaluate a company when working with a developer from another area. It is not possible to rely on key information sources like the Better Business Bureau and the Chamber of Commerce. It can be difficult to tell if a company is trustworthy, regardless of what they say. Even if they only have a website, developers are skilled at creating websites that look professional and legitimate, even if their apps fail.

Local tech companies will give you the advantage of local referrals. Some of their clients may be familiar to you.

Get a greater local economic benefit

Working with local app developers will allow you to invest money in your community, rather than sending it to some remote place. In some cases, the total dollar amount can be very significant. It could reach hundreds or even thousands of pounds over its life.

A local approach to business can also be beneficial for public relations and marketing. Local businesses are preferred by many locals because they offer several compelling benefits.
