5 tips to get the most out of outsourcing to Poland

Offshore software development to Poland is now becoming very popular. That includes Polish JavaScript developers and front end developers that definitely can't complain about having too little to do. There are many good reasons why it is the case. But this time I would like to help those of you who already know those benefits. Use these 5 tips and make sure that the outsourcing experience will be pleasant.

Search for the best price-quality ratio

Many people choose Poland to get software development services on the cheap. While Poland is much cheaper than, say, Germany or U.K, it is also much more expensive than India or Pakistan. The bottom line is that you should not go for the lowest price, but for the best price-quality ratio. To do that, choose skilled, experienced developers from Poland. They are not necessarily cheap, but they are much cheaper than similar experts in high living cost countries. Poland's developers overall are great quality-wise, but if you go for the cheapest option, you may never find that out.

Go for the best JavaScript developers

Polish front end engineers are top of the line experts. Those with the most years of experiments can do wonders for your project. If you make the effort to come to Poland to do web development outsourcing, you should definitely get whatever is the best, not junior developers that only learn how to make simple websites. That way, you won't see the true advantage of Polish software companies.

Take care of communication

Typical problem with web development outsourcing, but for Poland you also need to take into consideration their specific location and time zone. Make sure you use the same communication tools. Being Agile is a big advantage for a developer. This approach greatly improves everyday communication between the client and the developer. Polish developers overall are quite fond of Agile.

Pay accordingly

This one is pretty simple. If you hire Polish developers in Poland, pay them according to the typical Polish salaries for developers. If you want your Polish developers to work for you in a different country, their salaries need to match those paid to local developers.

Skills, not technologies!

Experienced Polish developers are very good at learning new stuff. You should consider hiring them even if they don't exhaust the list of technologies you need. With their skills, they can quickly brush up on them!

A website with... no JavaScript!?

Can you get the edge over competition by... getting rid of JavaScript? That's a questions I've recently stumbled upon. The idea is that some websites can be created using pure HTML and CSS. And I'm not talking about static websites... interested?


Before we get to how we can do something like this, let's go through the list of the biggest advantages avoiding JavaScript brings.

Advantages of giving up on JavaScript in some projects

Speed - it goes without saying. Websites that only use HTML and CSS are much faster as it is JavaScript that takes the most time in terms of server response. By minimizing JavaScript, you can advertise your web development services as optimized for speed.

Less Complexity - with less or no JavaScript, the source code is much easier to maintan and understand.

Effort - a lot less testing and the ability to avoid over the top complicated programming techniques.

Resources - you don't need developers specialized in JavaScript, which often cost the most to hire.

SEO - websties that use little JavaScript are better SEO-wise since JavaScript may make it more difficult for search robots to index your content.

Maintenance - as the website is easier to understand, it is also easier to maintan and improve upon.

Limiting JavaScript - first step

As you can see, there are a lot of benefits of minimizing the use of JavaScript. Enough to make it ot some extent a part of your strategy and a competitive advantage to get in outsourcing software development (see this article to learn more about being a competitive web development outsourcing company). And how to do that? There are many solutions. One of them is to something like Pages from restdb.io. This solution incjects the output in the HTML on the server before it is sent to the browser. This way, you can have dynamic websites without JavaScript on the client side.
