Before starting ooomf, I worked as an independent designer and at an agency.
One of the biggest challenges of the entire project process (and where a ton of time was often spent) was putting together an estimate for how much the project should cost.
You need to consider things like budget constraints, what functionalities you need, and then figure out an estimate for the amount of time it will take (including the time to test bugs, design iterations, and minor tweaks).
The estimation process isn’t exactly a science but we thought there could be a way to simplify it.
Today, we’re launching howmuchtomakeanapp.com, a tool that makes it easier to estimate the cost of any iPhone, Android, or tablet app.
We’ve designed the site to take you through the process in less than a couple minutes and it also works on all devices, so you can use it on the go.
Our goal is to de-mystify a process that is typically filled with guesswork and provide a way that makes it easier to understand the cost and value of quality development and design.
Give it a whirl. We’d love to hear what you think.
