Start by defining what you want the finished project to look like. Break it down into smaller parts and set milestones. Use simple language and include any features or functions you need so the developer knows what you expect.
What should I include in the project brief to help the developer understand my needs?
Include the purpose of your project and your target audience. Describe in simple words what the app or website should do. Share any designs or inspirations you like, and list specific features you want included.
How can I check a developer’s experience on similar projects?
Look at their past work or portfolio. Ask for case studies where they've used low-code/no-code tools to solve problems similar to yours. This will show how they tackle challenges and their success with previous projects.
