Managing your first CarPark

It’s the question we get asked all the time.

“How much will my app cost to build?”

The only honest way to answer this is, “It depends”.

When you’re designing and building software you’re not creating widgets that you can later produce on an assembly line. You’re creating something bespoke that hasn’t been built before, and won’t likely be built again (otherwise – why are you building it in the first place?).

And while there are definitely some things most apps or websites have which can be turned into reusable libraries and components, there will always be a unique set of features your app needs which makes it very difficult to anticipate how much time design and development will take.

We’ve previously written a short article on why good software takes time to make, and it’s the main reason why it’s so difficult to give a useful answer on how much a certain app or website will cost.
