Top 10 Reasons to Outsource React Development

If you need a mobile or web application, it is most likely that developers working on your project will use React (aka React.js or ReactJS), a JavaScript library, to build user interfaces.

Currently, React is in high demand in the front-end development market, being used by over a million websites, including Airbnb, BBC, PayPal, Netflix, and, of course, Facebook, which developed this technology.

The appeal of React is no mystery. You can read about this in detail in our previous post, in which you will also learn what React.js is.

However, more importantly, it often raises the question of whether it would be better to outsource your project to a React development company. And how can you make the most of such outsourcing advantages? You’ll find all of the answers right here.

We are a development company with over 30 years in the software engineering business. React is one of our core technologies, and many of our clients rely on us for React.js development.

So, without further ado, let’s go over some of the advantages of outsourcing React development to remote programmers.

Cost-effectiveness

In most cases, cost-effectiveness is the main reason why companies outsource their software development processes instead of hiring an in-house team.

With outsourcing, you don’t have to spend money on a lengthy recruitment process (FYI, hiring a software engineer takes 35 days on average with at least 30 interview reviews in the USA), training of new hires, employee benefits, and health insurance, as well as on additional infrastructure, office space and equipment.

This is particularly true for nearshore or offshore outsourcing. Under this strategy, you can take advantage of the cost of living difference between developing and developed countries.

For instance, the cost of living in New York or London is way higher than in Eastern European countries like Poland, which have established themselves as reliable outsourcing locations. A lower cost of living usually means a lower cost of working because of the developers’ lesser salary sufficient to cover their basic expenses.

For example, according to Payscale, the average salary of a React developer in the USA is $94k per year, while in Poland it is equal to just about $23k.

Cost savings are especially important when you have a tight budget (e.g. you are a startup or small or medium-sized business), when you cannot afford hiring a permanent in-house software developer in your local market.

Faster project start

When you hire a remote ReactJS web development company, you will get a contract specifying the timeframe for the project. In case of any delay, the firm will be liable. So you can rest assured that your web or mobile app will be released on time.

Furthermore, in case of a tight deadline, the development firm can involve more hands for the work on your project. Therefore, hiring a team of remote React web developers will allow you to deploy your product as soon as possible.

Lower risks

As mentioned above, in case of outsourcing, you will have a contract signed with a development firm. With a written agreement, you can shift the responsibility for any risk on to the contractor. For example, the risk of a delay, the risk of bad quality, etc. Therefore, you will be legally protected against unwanted outcomes.

In addition, hiring a reliable development company means that you will be working with experienced project managers responsible for leading the project team. This reduces the risk of your project going wrong.

Flexibility

Business owners will value the ability to work with an outsourcing firm only when necessary. It’s a perfect choice if you have or anticipate a slow season or if you are handling specific projects on a tight budget. In this case, paying full-time in-house React developers, hiring and firing them on a year-round basis will be far more expensive than engaging a remote team.

Access to the latest/niche technology

When you outsource a React development project, you gain access to the most trending tools and technologies, which results in a better product. A good React developer on an outsourced team is well-versed in a wide range of technologies and techniques. Their skills can enable you to create a highly effective solution.

Free up internal resources

Hiring outside developers will free up your employees and allow them to devote more time to the tasks that are critical to your company’s growth. You will also be able to use the knowledge and skills of your engineers on new complex projects.

Focus on the core business

You don’t repair your toilet yourself when it’s leaking, right? Instead, you call a plumber to get it fixed.

As a business, outsourcing React.js web development to an external dedicated team will help you free up your schedule and resources to focus on what you do better than others, on your core competencies, and take the time to become the best in these areas. This creates value that cannot be copied or replicated by anyone else, laying the foundation for better sales and higher revenues.

Scalability of a dedicated team

When businesses see opportunities for expansion, a lack of available workers frequently creates challenges in fully utilizing the opportunity. Expanding a business team takes time, and there is a high risk of missing out on lucrative growth opportunities.

Similarly, if a manager overestimates the project’s potential, reducing the number of people involved is a painful and exhausting process.

Working with remote React developers gives business owners more flexibility in both directions — you can easily add more team members to the project or terminate the collaboration once it is no longer relevant with no repercussions. Outsourcing, as you can see, encourages business owners to make risk-free decisions.

Quality of the work

No doubt, quality is now king. It is critical to generating revenue. So you’ll probably want the best of the best for your product. This is more than possible with outsourcing, because reliable software companies have internal practices and standards that have been developed through multiple projects and shared among their employees.

Wider talent pool

The IT industry is now on the rise and every year requires more and more skilled staff. As a result, the market has become more competitive and the competition for tech talent has intensified recently in many countries, especially in Western Europe and the US.

The good news is that with outsourcing you no longer have to recruit within the small radius of your office or wait for a local IT guy to get out of his current job. Instead, you’ve got access to countless remote skilled developers around the world that can handle your project.
