What a firm will ask you
  • When do you need this? As soon as possible / Within a month / In 1 to 3 months / Later than 3 months / Just getting prices for now

These are the questions on the form above, so a firm can quote from your first message.

What to ask a firm before you agree
  • Is the price fixed, or an estimate? Ask for it in writing, with what would change it.
  • What does your price include? Published prices for this work are usually quoted per bespoke software project; check yours is quoted the same way before you compare.
  • When could you start, and how long will it take? Firms are told when you said you need it; ask them to confirm.
  • Who will do the work? Ask whether it is the firm's own staff or a subcontractor.
What happens after you send it
  1. Your enquiry is checked for spam and its contact details are checked so a firm can reach you.
  2. Worklanded chooses up to three software development companies that cover the area. A firm sees the job and the area before it decides to take it.
  3. As your details go to each firm, we email you its name, with a link that stops any more firms receiving them.
  4. The firms contact you directly. You agree the price and the work with them; Worklanded takes no part of that.

Every step is how the system works, not a promise: read how it works for you, or how this compares with Bark.
