A faulty app on Facebook can cost you dearly as users may be driven away by an app that doesn't do what it's supposed to do. That is why; you must be very clear in your search for the best Facebook apps developers. You must be clear in your objectives and should be open to brainstorming with more than one Facebook application development team, about the app you want and how they can deliver it or improve it. An initial interview with the chosen few companies will give you a fairly clear idea, about how they work and what are their capabilities.
Here are some of the things you must see before short listing the companies:
- They must be very clear about Facebook and its marketing principles. This will help them make your app suitable to a wider audience. They should be good at building the apps and also promoting them. An easy way to see if they have delivered in the past is to look into the apps they created previously. How the app works and what feedback it received, knowing this will help you understand the true potential of the Facebook app developing team.
- The next thing is that they must be aware of the latest advancements and changes that Facebook introduces time to time. Facebook is a constantly evolving platform and they keep adding features to their APIs and changing business page platforms. That is why staying abreast of new features is a must for the app developing team.
- How long have they been in the app development business? Surely enough time to understand the huge viral nature of Facebook and the huge impact apps can have on the fans and followers. To know their depth, try to gather an idea of how many applications they have made. Another important thing is to know if they have worked with businesses similar to yours. This will be an additional benefit if they have experience in making what you are looking for.
- If you have liked what you have seen so far, see how they stay connected and deal with the clients. What is their availability on the email, Phone and Live-chat? How often do they report to you and how can you convey your observations to them? Will they be available if you need minor edits done?
To hire Facebook developer, all these requirements need to be compared against your budget for Facebook apps, and then you need to make the final call. With a suitable app, your business page on Facebook will be thronged by fans- giving you branding, traffic and of course customer feedback.
