How to choose a software company in Jordan: 9 criteria before you sign
Choosing a software company affects your business for years. Instead of asking "who is the best?", ask "who is the best fit for my project?" These are practical criteria you can apply to any company, Shiblix included.
1. Clear price and scope
Ask for a written price that states what is and is not included. A good company explains how it calculated. We publish starting prices and a calculator that shows an instant estimate, and the team confirms the final price after reviewing the details.
2. Native code or a template?
A template is faster and cheaper at first but limits you later. Ask whether programmers will write code for your business logic. We write native code for each platform and do not rely on ready-made templates.
3. Business analysis before coding
Failed projects often started coding before understanding the business. Ask how your requirements will be analysed. We start with business logic and user experience before a single line of code.
4. Performance and offline behaviour
Ask for numbers: loading time, response time, and what happens when the internet drops. Our targets are sub-second loading for websites, responses under 15ms for Windows programs, and full offline operation with automatic sync.
5. Security and data ownership
Ask about encryption, permissions and where it is deployed. We encrypt local and cloud data and can deploy on your servers or on our cloud.
6. Truly native Arabic
An Arabic RTL interface should be designed as such, not machine-translated. Our interfaces are natively Arabic with an English version in the same system.
7. Timeline and progress tracking
Ask for a schedule and how you will follow it. You follow our projects week by week, and usual durations are 2–10 weeks depending on size.
8. Support after launch
Software needs care after delivery. We provide technical support after launch, and the team explains the details when you agree.
9. Similar work to your project
Ask to see similar systems. Our work page shows POS, clinic, delivery, store and cloud-link systems.
Questions to ask before signing
- What exactly does the price include?
- Who writes the code, and is it native code?
- How will I follow progress?
- What happens to my data and who owns it?
- Who supports me after launch and how do I reach them?
Frequently asked questions
What is the most important criterion for choosing a software company?
The fit between its experience and your project, with a clear price, scope and way of working. Ask for examples and written prices and compare more than one offer.
Is the cheapest option the best?
Not always. Compare what the price covers: analysis, testing, support, and code and data ownership.
