You may think custom software development will be too costly. Or, you simply might not know how to hire the best team or person for the job. Offshore software development might seem like the most cost-efficient way to get the job done at a price that won't break your budget, but for some jobs, hiring freelancers for custom software programming and development can actually be the best way to go.
Benefits of Hiring a Freelancer vs a Custom Software Development Company
A qualified freelance professional or team of developers experienced in custom software development projects can often get the job done as well, and often at a better price, than many custom software development services. Freelance contractors work independently, which means they don't have high overhead costs to factor into their hourly rates. When you outsource software development to many firms, their hourly rates will usually be higher to accommodate company costs. Outsource companies will also often try to put more than the necessary amount of people on the job, which means you might end up paying more than you'd have to by hiring a freelancer.
Tips for Hiring a Qualified Custom Software Developer
If you go the freelance route, it's essential to choose the right person for the job. Look for someone with experience in custom software development in your industry. If the developer has created similar software for other businesses who do what you do, you will be more assured he will be able to handle your job from start to finish without running into avoidable glitches or problems which could set your project deadline back months and cost you a fortune in the process. Keep in mind that just because a freelancer lists a project on his resume doesn't necessarily mean he did the best job possible for that client. Before you hire a freelancer for your custom software development project, ask for references and verify with the freelancer's previous clients that they were indeed satisfied with the work done. Ask his previous clients about how smoothly the development process was and if they'd hire him again.

Testimonials
"I took a chance one day when I was flush and sent a few bucks to gain access to the Go Freelance Professional Edition. Since then, I've edited a sales letter, a follow-up letter, an 11-page Web site, and a brochure. I'm 'on call' to do pinch-hit proofreading for a medical newsletter editor in Florida ..and I've landed a gig editing a new Canadian magazine coming out this fall. All this from taking a chance on Go Freelance."
