In light of the digital transformation we're witnessing around us, owning an online project—whether a store, website, or app—has become a basic requirement for any business in the Kingdom. But let's be honest, the first step you need to build your digital success on is choosing the right programming company.
If you're a startup, there are plenty of options, but not all of them are of the same quality or offer the same value. That's why you need to choose carefully. Here, we'll guide you through important steps and points to help you avoid mistakes and choose the right technical partner.
First impressions... they matter a lot!
As soon as you contact a company, observe how they interact with you. Are they interested? Do they respond to your inquiries? Do they understand your project from the outset? Companies that truly care about providing you with a suitable technical solution will try to understand you and respond professionally from the first call or email.
Experience = Quality, Speed, and Security
Don't go for a company that's just starting out or doesn't have any previous work, especially if your project is large or has future ambitions. Make sure they have a clear portfolio of work, and ask to see real-life examples of websites or apps they've implemented. It's preferable for projects within Saudi Arabia, as the local market has a unique nature.
Do they understand the Saudi market?
This is an important question, because programming isn't just about writing code. The company must understand the market and have solutions tailored to the Saudi user. For example: local payment methods, integration with shipping companies, and even a simple design style that appeals to Gulf users.
Transparency in pricing and details
Stay away from companies that give you a general quote without details, or try to lure you in with a suspiciously low price. Ask them to break down the stages and see what the price includes. Are there any hidden costs later? Does delivery include training? All of these things must be clarified from the outset.
Post-delivery support: Not a luxury
After your website or app is live, you should expect technical issues or a desire to develop something new. Make sure there's a maintenance contract or post-delivery technical support, and ideally, a support team available locally to respond to you quickly.
Beware of companies that do everything
Some companies tell you, "We do everything: programming, design, marketing, hosting, printing, and everything else!" These companies often lack expertise or rely on third-party vendors. It's best to choose a company that truly specializes in programming and has an in-house technical team dedicated to working on your project.
Check their reviews and ask about them.
Don't rely solely on their website. Check if they have reviews on Google Maps, LinkedIn profiles, or even the experiences of people before you on Twitter. If you can contact one of their previous clients and hear their feedback, it's even better and more reliable.
Comparing offers will lead you to the best solution.
Take your time. Don't rush into settling with the first company. Try speaking with 3 to 5 companies and compare their explanations, clarity of plan, and final cost. You'll likely see a clear difference between a well-organized company that knows how to talk to you and understand you, and a company that just wants to sign a contract.
If you want peace of mind and guarantee professional work, there are distinguished Saudi companies that have proven their presence in the market, such as "Sahl," which provides comprehensive services for designing and programming e-commerce stores and websites, focusing on the needs of the local market from A to Z. You can rely on them for your digital plan.
Choosing the right programming company is not a simple decision. It's a decision that will determine the long-term success of your e-commerce project. Take your time researching, don't skimp on details, and ensure the company you choose is truly a "technology partner," not just a project implementer.
