Jumpstart your app development

Are you intrigued by the idea of developing your own app but you don't know where to start? I have written in the past about outsourcing using eLance or other sites. Those places are a lot like eBay... You post a project idea and developers bid on the job. You choose a developer based on their proposal, portfolio, and of course, price. But just like using eBay, there are risks.

Enter www.iPhoneAppQuotes.com. I met with these folks at MacWorld and they offer a novel approach. They are more like a professional matchmaking service, putting customers in touch with qualified developers. They only work with U.S.-based developers, which can eliminate concerns over language and timezone differences. They screen all of their developers via extensive phone interviews. And they do NOT charge a commission... Just a finder's fee, which is nominal.

I believe there is room for a variety of ways to outsource iPhone app development, but just as I would not recommend buying certain items such as medicine or fresh produce via eBay, I would recommend checking out iPhoneAppQuotes for any mission-critical app development projects.
