1st meeting with Dave the developer
Gill and I travelled down to Brighton to meet up with Dave, our developer. We met in a brilliant cafe called “The Fringe” and chowed down some burgers and beers.
I’d highly recommend meeting up with your freelancers before they commence work. It was tremendously valuable for several reason:
- We found some holes in the app and how it worked
- It was a good chance to chat and get to know each other
- We thought of an amazing idea that Gill and I wouldn’t have come up with on our own
We had Dave sign the contract and we paid him his first installment of £1966.66. We always pay on a 3-stage timeframe.
- 1/3 on signing of the contract
- 1/3 on the completion of a working beta
- 1/3 on launch
