The Scalable and Powerful Version 1.13 of Magento

Is it possible to outsource Magento development to developers abroad? Although, outsourcing has its advantage of finding cheap labour overseas, there are other issues which need to be considered.

If deadlines are not being met and the end product is not up to the mark, and you are getting involved to get things moving- then outsourcing does not seem to be a good idea.

Read Carefully Before Outsourcing:

Before you hire Magento programmers, go through a few guidelines. When you outsource to companies abroad, you need to have good communication skills. You should be able to put down your specifications in great detail.

You will have to monitor the progress of your project at regular intervals if you want a perfect result. You will need to be in touch with your developers at odd hours through Skype and expect to get frequent updates.

If the outsource appears to be cheap and the time lines quick, it may sound a bit impossible. Never believe

them it they say ‘yes’ at the first go; they may be in the lookout for work which may not be coming their way.

It is wise to check if the company follows coding standards especially if it is from a different country. They may not be aware of codes and shortcuts which can result in shoddy work.

Do they offer services after the site has been developed? Will they be around in case of bugs or upgrades?

It is advisable to avoid outsourcing any designing or marketing assignments which can lead a lot of room for mistakes. Instead, you can hand over data entry, standard template skinning and a custom Magento extension to an offshore company.
