The First Time
Working with a dev agency is new territory for most founders.
Here's what to expect.
Before You Start
Set Clear Expectations
- Timeline
- Budget
- Scope
- Communication
Get everything in writing.
During the Project
Be Available
Agencies need decisions.
If you're unreachable, projects stall.
Provide Feedback Quickly
Feedback loops are critical.
The faster you respond, the faster they build.
Trust Their Expertise
You hired them for a reason.
When they push back, listen.
Red Flags
- No weekly updates
- Unresponsive for days
- Scope creep without discussion
- Quality issues
The Honest Take
Agencies are partners.
Good communication. Clear expectations.
That's 90% of success.
