Create a tech product without being scammed by mercenary devs – it’s never been easier!
Really?
Put it this way, most entrepreneurs will have heard of or experienced something of mercenary developers. You know what I’m talking about – tech talk and sky-high bills but missing the real value you are searching for.
That might sound like I am being a little bit cynical towards the dev community, but I would not be saying this kind of thing if it was just one person having a bad interaction with their tech provider. Sadly, I’m not referring to isolated incidents here, this experience is commonplace, so much so that it has become a nasty problem that is harming organisations up and down the country.
Imagine the CEO of a tech company that has built a product over the years and excelled in its sector. The CEO hires a tech lead, but then, behind the trusting CEO’s back, the tech lead uses the company’s IP to create a tech product for themselves. “Never!” I hear you gasp, “Who would do such a thing?”
Believe me, this is happening as we speak! Not knowing that this kind of theft is going on leaves entrepreneurs more vulnerable than ever.
What’s to be done? What can entrepreneurs do to protect themselves? Well, the quickest way is to transform the way you build and, of course, ask more direct questions to your tech team.
It’s a dark world out there and entrepreneurs are paying the heavy price that could almost ruin overnight what they have spent years building.
Maybe it’s time to change the industry by bringing in the kind of tools that can safeguard the development journey…
One area of growth is the world of no-code and low-code solutions. My tech team are using these tools to slowly build an incredible portfolio of great applications that put the power and partnership back into the right hands.
No code and low code tools remove the mystery of the dark arts behind developing mercenary charging cycles.
We offer companies a Discovery Compass which essentially gives them a documented roadmap of the tech journey and seeks to implement the smartest and most cost-effective way to build.
We have worked with @newable and @Liam Hickey to help many people build intentionally and use their hard-earned bid money to deliver exceptional solutions most economically.
Once we’ve identified the solution we go through the wireframe and UI/UX journey. UX is User Experience (who is going to use the application and how). UI is User Interface (what does it look like – colouring it all in). This is where our exceptional brand team at Cre8ion work with Di9ital in collaboration to build purposefully and with the intelligence to make progress.
When we build, where possible we use game-changing no-code and low-code tools such as bubble.io from which some applications are now onboarding 500,000 users.
What’s more, we are building in partnership with people who know, love and educate on entrepreneurship. We have 30+ years of experience working in brand, building and launching products. Our experience can help protect and direct your resources.
We’ll remove the mystery and make sure you carry the IP. We won’t build anything to take you out. We want to help you create a tech product and keep your IP so that you are the one who wins!
Take a look at a couple of projects we have done…
Sussed is a groundbreaking platform that helps corporate organisations minimise their environmental impact by accurately measuring the environmental impact of their corporate events, as well as providing a verified sustainability report for your ESG reporting.
