Dedicated Development Team

A dedicated development team is a group of remote developers who work only on your project - not juggling other clients or side gigs.

Think of them as an extension of your in-house team, except they're remote. They follow your processes, understand your business, and stay long-term - months or years, not just a quick project.

What's different from regular outsourcing or freelancers? Those folks usually split time between multiple clients. A dedicated team is all yours - full attention, deep knowledge of what you're building.

The team usually includes developers, a project manager, QA testers, designers, and maybe a business analyst, depending on your needs. The vendor handles all the boring stuff - hiring, HR, workspace, and benefits. You get direct access to the team and control over what gets built.

It's like having a dev team without dealing with recruitment, office space, or employment contracts.

It makes sense for longer projects where you need consistency and people who actually understand your business, not just those who parachut to code something and disappear.

Thinking about going this route? Let's talk through whether it fits your project.

What makes a good dedicated team? It's not just coding skills.

Technical expertise matters - they need to know their stuff and keep learning. A mix of experience levels helps, too - seniors for complex things, mid-level for most work, maybe a junior. It balances cost and quality.

But the soft skills are just as critical.

Communication is huge. Teams that talk clearly waste less time and catch problems early.

They need to work agile, using quick iterations, adapting, and staying aligned with their needs. They should not disappear for months and come back with the wrong thing.

Good teams collaborate, not just work in silos. They own their mistakes. They push back when you're about to make a bad call. They suggest better approaches instead of just saying "yes" to everything.

And they roll with changes. Projects never go to plan - good teams adapt without drama.

Team costs? All over the place, depending on where you hire.

US and Western Europe run $60-150/hour. Eastern Europe is $25-50/hour. India and Asia are $20-60/hour, though quality varies. Latin America is similar to Eastern Europe.

A dedicated team costs $5-20k monthly, sometimes more for bigger setups or specialised skills.

Compare that to hiring in-house in the US - you're paying $120-200k per year per developer, plus benefits, office space, equipment, all that overhead. Eastern Europe or Asia cuts that by 40-60% without sacrificing quality.

Hidden costs? Remember that the vendor handles HR, recruitment, and infrastructure. That stuff adds 30-50% to in-house costs, but it's included when you hire a dedicated team.

There are three ways to pay: hourly (flexible, suitable for changing requirements), monthly team rate (best for long-term projects), or fixed price (works when the scope is crystal clear).

How much does your project need? Let's discuss it and determine what is within your budget.

Check their portfolio. Have they actually built something like what you're after? Talk to a couple of their past clients - you'll learn way more from a 10-minute call than any fancy proposal.

Pay attention to how they communicate right from the start. If getting answers feels hard now, imagine dealing with that for months. Also, do they agree with everything you say, or do they push back when something doesn't make sense? Good teams ask tough questions.

Tech skills are essential, obviously. But cultural fit is just as critical. Mismatched teams cause endless problems.

Can they grow with you? If your project takes off and you need more people, can they scale up? Or is this literally everyone they have?

Figure out the payment structure that works. Fixed price when everything's nailed down. Monthly retainer for longer projects. Just pick what fits.

Here's what we'd suggest: talk to a few companies, check out what they've done, and call their references. Better yet, pay for a small trial project first. You'll find out real quick if they're the right fit - how they work, how they communicate, and whether they actually get it.
