React Development Outsourcing Tips and Tricks

Over the past decade, there’s been a huge influx of aspiring freelance developers. Today, all these developers are either working with agencies or are completely on their own. Something that has affected the whole market immensely is the fact that there are just way too many professionals who decided to start working from home. 

Among them, there’s a huge number of those who have only recently gotten into mobile app development and who have, to put it bluntly, a questionable background.

The main reason behind choosing the best React development outsourcing strategy is to avoid scenarios in which you have to work with a developer who is not only bad at their job, but is also quite hard to communicate with.

And, of course, outsourcing React development can be a game-changer for your next project. Whether you’re a startup or an established business, being able to leverage external expertise can save time and costs quite a bit. 

In this guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about proper outsourcing, including:

• When to do it 
• The benefits 
• How to find the right partners

What is React Development and What are the Main Features and Benefits?

If you’re not already familiar with React.js, also known as React, to put it simply, it is a JavaScript-based UI development library. It was developed by Facebook, and it was designed for building user interfaces — particularly for single-page applications. 

Here are some React.js key features and benefits:

• React allows developers to build so-called encapsulated components that manage their state. This modular approach makes the code reusable and easier to use in general.
• React’s virtual DOM (a lightweight JavaScript representation of the Document Object Model) improves performance. It does so by minimizing direct interactions with the actual DOM. This leads to faster updates and generally smoother user experiences.
• With a vast ecosystem of libraries and tools, React offers extensive support and integration capabilities. This yet again makes the whole process faster and more efficient.
• React’s server-side rendering improves search engine optimization, which helps applications rank better on search engines. 

A side note here:

While server-side rendering can improve SEO, it's not the only factor. Modern search engines can also crawl and understand single-page applications (SPAs) built with React.

When Should You Consider Outsourcing React Development?

While the first thing that might come to mind here would be the financial aspect, there are many other reasons for outsourcing React development. As having a niche in-house developer who can’t quite work on every single project throughout the year is somewhat expensive, here are a couple of points that might help you decide on when to embark on the outsourcing journey.

• When your project requires expertise beyond your in-house team’s capabilities it’s time to rely on someone who is a true expert in the field — someone with a set of specialized skills.
• Being able to leverage external teams can accelerate development cycles. This way you can get your product to market much quicker.
• Outsourcing allows you to scale your development team up or down based on project needs without the hassle of hiring or layoffs. This is ideal for both smaller and larger companies, especially during this tough economic climate.
• Partnering with agencies, or even one freelance developer, that specializes in React ensures you get the latest tools and best practices in your project. That way you might even pick up on a thing or two in the process — something that might be quite valuable in the future both when hiring a single developer or are looking to create a larger team for a bigger project.
• And, finally, of course, the cost-effectiveness aspect of it all. Outsourcing can reduce overhead costs associated with hiring and training full-time developers which is beneficial for every single company in the world. As we briefly mentioned above, it is one of the main reasons clients tend to consider React development outsourcing.

What are the Benefits of Outsourcing React Development?

Now that you have an idea of why companies tend to go with outsourcing React development, it’s time to take a quick look into what the benefits of this strategy actually are. While this short list might seem familiar to the one above, there are still some nuances that might not seem that obvious at first.

• The first, and most obvious one, is the one we talked about a bit in the paragraph above. It is the cost-saving aspect. By being financially responsible, companies reduce labor costs and avoid the expenses of constant recruiting and training. Something that might seem harsh from a worker's perspective, but it is nothing more than a business strategy for every single business owner in the world.
• Being able to connect and work with seasoned professionals. Professionals who have extensive experience in React development and who might help you with setting up a foundation for your newly-found company, for example.
• In our opinion, the most vital benefit here would be focusing on the core business. This allows your internal team to concentrate on strategic tasks while external experts handle all the development.
• Finally, don’t forget about quality assurance. A benefit that ensures high-quality output through experienced developers and robust testing processes might be the last one here, but it is far from being important.

• Discuss project scope and terms by providing a detailed brief, including features, deadlines, and deliverables. Make sure to agree on terms, timelines, and pricing models that fit both parties. Nuances like fixed-price contracts, time it takes for the project to be completed, etc.
