Life is absurd. Lean into it.
Incorrect. There are a few options.
1.You can purchase a template off codecanyon.com and use websites like upwork.com and topcoder.com to get a developer (you're better off picking a firm/agency with a 90% completion rate, good english fluency + top rated on the coding platform). I've routinely done projects for various fortune 500's using this approach.
2.Do everything from scratch, very costly and requires a company/agency with a good track record. I previously used Yalantis for my govt work and several other agencies in Ukraine that I sourced through talent brokers.
website is better since websites will have most of the functionality of an app anyways unless you're using something like the camera or whatnot. If it is mostly about filling out forms and sending and retrieving data from the database, just stick with the web site.
Do they have templates that are like databases?
