Recommendations for the customer as part of the project

The article is a translation of my article from the helion-prime: advices for customer blog (eng.)

Do you know what a software development company sells?
It is clear that not just abstract software, but software that helps the client solve his problems ... we must understand what goal the client wants to achieve using our software.

We provide customers with our view of the problem and advise technology / platform / approach, customers in turn give us their ideas / plans / limitations ... together we can come to a satisfactory result.
What are we doing next? Usually we get money and leave the client with his application.
')

And what else can we offer?

We must offer our own understanding of the development of the application, advise how to start a project, what hosting to choose, how to advertise the application ... after all, we all went through this more than once and have a good idea about it.

Clients can always refuse our advice, but part of our work is to offer them. They will see that we do not just need to sell our work, we are not indifferent to the result that the client will achieve. And this, in turn, will make the relationship between us more trustworthy and will give you job satisfaction ... after all, we make great applications that work!
