Launching My Web and App Development Venture: Seeking Guidance!
Hello, dear readers!
I’m Danish, and after spending several years creating mobile and web applications using technologies like Flutter, React Native, Node.js, and MongoDB, I’m thrilled to announce that I’m embarking on an exciting new journey—starting my very own web and app development business!
For quite some time, I’ve collaborated on various projects for clients, but now it’s time for me to take the leap and venture out on my own. As I navigate this exhilarating yet daunting process, I find myself in the midst of establishing every facet of my business from the ground up.
Currently, I’m focused on several key areas:
-
Choosing a Meaningful Business Name: I’m on the lookout for a name that resonates with me rather than opting for something generic.
-
Creating a Portfolio Website: Securing a domain and launching a site to showcase my work swiftly is a priority.
-
Defining My Services: I need to hone in on the specific services I want to offer—be it custom app development, MVP creation, or website design.
-
Establishing My Brand Identity: This includes everything from designing a logo and crafting a tagline to setting up my social media profiles.
Since I’m bootstrapping this endeavor, it’s crucial for me to manage my time and resources wisely.
I would be incredibly grateful for any advice or insights from those who have tread this path before me. Here are a few questions I’m wrestling with:
- What inspired your business name? How did you ensure it reflected your vision?
- Did you focus on a niche market immediately, or were you open to various projects at the start?
- Are there any decisions you regret making during your initial setup?
- What tools do you recommend for creating portfolios, drafting proposals, managing contracts, and tracking clients?
- How did you determine the right moment to begin reaching out to potential clients?
I’m eager to learn from your experiences and gather any tips you might have. My goal is to lay a solid foundation for my business without rushing the process.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Your advice and suggestions would mean a lot to me as I start this new chapter!
Warm regards,
Danish
