What should I include in my project brief for hiring a low-code/no-code developer?
Start with describing the project goals. Use simple words and clear sentences to explain what you need. Include any specific tools or platforms you want the developer to use. For a Quebec-based project, mention if there are any local regulations to consider. This will help the developer understand exactly what you are looking for.
How do I check if a developer has experience with low-code/no-code platforms?
Look at their past work or portfolio for similar projects. This can show you if they have used platforms like Bubble or OutSystems before. Ask them to explain a similar project they have completed. This will help you see if they can do your project. In Quebec, ask if they are familiar with any French-speaking platforms, if that matters to your project.
What is the best way to set project milestones for a low-code/no-code developer?
Break down your project into small, manageable parts. Decide what needs to be done first, second, and so on. This will help you divide the work into milestones. Each milestone should have a clear task and a deadline. This helps the developer know what to expect and keeps the project on track.
How can I ensure clear communication with my low-code/no-code developer?
Pick the best ways to chat, like email or video calls. Decide how often you'll have updates, like weekly check-ins. Make sure both you and the developer understand each other's schedules. This is especially important if you are working across time zones, like between Quebec and another region.
What should I include in a contract with a low-code/no-code developer?
A contract should cover the details of the project. Include the specific deliverables, deadlines, and payment terms. Also, mention who owns the final work, usually called 'intellectual property rights.' If you're in Quebec, add clauses for local legal requirements. A clear contract helps everyone agree and keeps the project smooth.
How do I define the scope of a low-code/no-code project?
Start by outlining what you want your app or website to do. Describe any features that are must-haves versus nice-to-haves. Avoid making the project too big—it’s better to start with basics and add later. In Quebec, think about if you need bilingual support for English and French users. A clear scope helps the developer focus on the important parts.
What is a reasonable timeline for a low-code/no-code project?
First, talk with your developer about how long each part will take. Consider the complexity and any special requirements, like integrations or Quebec-specific localizations. A simple project might take a few weeks, but a complex one could take a few months. Work together to set realistic deadlines so the project runs smoothly.
