runs with AppsCraft
Start by telling us what you want to get done. We review your requirements, budget and timing, then look for a suitable contractor or freelancer. Once the arrangement is agreed, the partner carries out the work and AppsCraft remains your contact for progress, revisions and delivery.
- You: explain what you need and approve the work
- AppsCraft: arranges contractors or freelancers and coordinates delivery
- Contractor or freelancer: completes the agreed work
Three parties
Who handles what
AppsCraft
Organise and track the work
We clarify the requirements, arrange a contractor or freelancer with the relevant skills, and coordinate progress, feedback and handover throughout the project.
Contractor or freelancer
Do the agreed work
The freelancer, development company, advertising agency or specialist team selected for the project carries out the agreed work. They answer project questions and hand over the agreed deliverables.
Four stages
What happens at each stage

In this stage- Talk through what it’s for and what you want from it
- Outline features and scope
- Agree budget and timing
- Keep open questions on their own list
You prepare
- The problem you want solved
- How you handle it today, plus any files or examples

For a system it can include the source code or repository access, admin access, user notes and test results. We check each item on it, note anything still outstanding, then arrange the review and handover between you and the partner.

Changes are confirmed before they are carried out
AppsCraft checks the impact with the partner, explains changes to scope, fees and timing, and records your decision before the additional work is arranged.
The partner carries out the work
The contractor or freelancer completes the agreed tasks, provides stage results and updated versions, and responds to technical questions and confirmed feedback.
AppsCraft coordinates both sides
We follow milestones, consolidate questions and feedback, track agreed changes and organise the review and handover with you and the partner.
You review and confirm
You provide the required information, review the current version, confirm decisions and changes, and check the agreed deliverables at handover.
Can we talk before the brief is complete?
Yes. Tell us the problem, how you handle it today and anything you’ve seen that’s close to what you want. We’ll help sort out priorities and the questions still to answer.
Who actually does the work?
The freelancer, software development company, advertising agency or specialist team agreed for the project. AppsCraft confirms the brief and working arrangement and coordinates communication, progress and delivery.
What if the requirements change?
Tell us what’s different. We check with the partner what it does to scope, timing and fees, and go ahead once you’ve agreed.
Can we start with something small?
Yes. You can start with a defined task or project stage. We confirm the scope and arrange a contractor or freelancer with relevant experience.
Let's discuss your project
