Big Fish is an app design and development company in Tampa Florida. We understand that you have questions, a buying process, and want to get to know us and how we do things.
We want to get to know you, and your project, too. That’s why we provide a no-charge discovery call to companies that are interested in hiring us.
This call gives your leadership team a chance to ask your most important questions and learn more about us and our process. It also gives us a chance to learn more about your project and see if it’s a good fit.
After the initial call you’ll have a better idea of whether your project is feasible and what it might cost.
How to Request a Discovery Call
First, a project lead on your team will fill out a short contact form to start the conversation.
We have a few screening questions to ensure:
- There is a company behind the project (we only work B2B)
- You have a reasonable budget or expectation of the cost of custom software development
- What you need is within the wheelhouse of the services we provide
If your answers are a good match we’ll send an email to schedule a no-obligation discovery call. If the project isn’t a good fit for us, we’ll let you know and may be able to recommend someone else to help.
Who Should Participate in the Discovery Call
It’s important for us to be able to discuss your goals, current pain points and big ideas you have for your app. To be efficient and effective with our time we require that the person we talk to is a decision maker on the project, and not “information gathering” for someone else.
If you prefer to information gather first – that’s great and the reason we maintain a blog. There we answer frequently asked questions about buying custom app development…including how long it takes to develop an app and how much a custom app costs.
What Happens During the Discovery Call
The complimentary discovery call includes:
- Phone call (30-60 minutes) with a Big Fish Project Manager
- Discussing the problems you need to solve, or opportunity this application will create
- High level discussion about your needed features
- Overview of our process and how we do things
- What we recommend you budget for the project (this will be in the form of a broad dollar amount range at this point)
As part of this free discovery call we do not provide written plans, research or technical support.
What Happens After the Call
If we are interested in working with each other we’ll schedule a follow-up meeting with your team, to answer questions that we didn’t get to on the first call. Or we’ll send a proposal for the next steps if you’re ready to get started.
