:jbhmm:

I tried working with an Indian developer and got burned in the past :francis:

I want to know if any brehs can build apps or websites and what your experience is and how open you are to working with another breh just trying to make it. I don't want anything unfair and don't expect free work :whoa: but I have a ton of ideas that I've sketched out and wireframed on paper but me building or developing a mobile app would be like trying to teach a fish how to thumb wrestle.

Any brehs interested in networking and seeing if we can develop something good?

Upwork is pretty reliable if Coli Brehs don't come through.

$200-$400 a month will get you a solid developer.

Good info, I have a few ideas that I'd like to see materialize into an app but the toughest part will be determining how many billable hours are needed for completition

For how many months?

:dwillhuh:

A basic mobile app on Upwork from an Indian developer will probably be a few thousand minimum and a proficient developer doing something with some complexity is probably around 5 to 10k.

OP, give some general idea of what you're trying to build.

Buy this: WordPress Themes Loved By Over 400k Customers. Specifically the DIVI visual builder is what you want but they offer tons of other great items in their yearly package.

Its intuitive and easy to build really great responsive/mobile websites with. Need wordpress, I believe. THEN, go to Upwork and shell out a few 100 bucks to have developers customize the base layout you create. Another great thing about DIVI/Elegant themes is they have a support forum that will often times customize anything you want for free.

Do not. I repeat. Do not pay a developer to build from scratch.

We need to hear the general idea before we direct one way or another. WordPress is easy to use and can be used for most ideas, but I had something developed not too long ago that was a custom application that could have possibly been integrated with WordPress, but not solely used, so it required a developer on Upwork. You can't use WordPress on your own for everything.

OP if your idea is fairly basic I can help you with WordPress.

Y'all are really dropping jewels in this thread. Gonna research this site and see if I'm able to modify a template to build a foundation before shelling out $$$$ for someone to start from scratch

I thought this was a mobile app template page but props I'm sure someone wanting to build a mobile site can use the templates

I got a few ideas and I worked with a local developer and things didn't really work out.

I had the idea, I mapped it out (every page every button), I paid a graphic designer to come up with renders, and then went to a developer and it just didn't work out. I figured I would reach out to see if anyone here was interested in a money/equity deal since it's a lot of brehs on here with great skills and maybe the common link of "the coli" would allow us to start something.

A few different ideas for apps...can you build them :ohhh:? If so PM me and we can chat.

I don't have any coding skills beyond rudimentary Python but I am looking for investment opportunities in tech/app startups :ehh: I have skills and knowledge when it comes to strategy and marketing so if that's something you'd be in need of, we could discuss some things.

If you are doing an app and not a mobile site then you'll have to shell out some money, bruh.

My advice is don't try to pay for it all at once. Pay a few 100 bucks here and there, implement the base, implement a feature here, implement a feature there, etc...

I have 0 coding skills :usure: :sadcam: I have great fleshed out ideas, an MBA in Entrepreneurship and great business acumen but what is it worth if everything I do is contingent on someone who can build an app and I can't :wow:

Obviously depends on the project.

This was built for $600 over 2 months
spreadstreet.io | Automation Template and Database Vault

Not a lot of functionality. Nothing special on the front end. But it can be done.

I used to bang out giant projects for less than a G on rentacoder.com back in the day. Love those romanians :wow:
Did you build this? I have some major aspirations that something like this exact model will allow me to live the life that I often dream about. I just have to find the right way of executing it
