Moodle is open-source and free. Why would we pay a premium for your services?
You're absolutely right, the core Moodle software is free, like a plot of land. But you wouldn't build a corporate headquarters or a university campus on that land without architects, engineers, and a world-class construction crew. We are that crew. You're not paying for Moodle; you're investing in a guaranteed outcome. Our CMMI Level 5 processes ensure your platform is architected for scale, secured against threats (backed by our SOC 2/ISO 27001 certs), and customized to your exact workflows, saving you from the immense technical debt and security risks of a poorly implemented "free" solution.
We're based in the USA/EU. How do you handle the time zone differences and communication with a team in India?
This is a solved problem for us. We've been perfecting our global delivery model since 2007, serving a 70% US client base. Our project managers and team leads work in shifts that ensure significant overlap with your business hours (e.g., 9 AM to 1 PM EST). We use standard tools like Slack, Jira, and Zoom, functioning as a seamless extension of your team. Our 95% client retention rate is a testament to our communication, transparency, and consistent delivery. You get the talent and cost advantages of a global team without the logistical headaches.
Our compliance team is worried about data security and privacy (GDPR/CCPA/HIPAA). How can we trust an offshore partner?
This is our sweet spot. Trust isn't given, it's earned through process and proof. We are SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified, which means our security controls are independently and rigorously audited. Your data is protected by robust legal agreements (MSAs/SOWs) that include full IP transfer and stringent confidentiality clauses. For clients in healthcare and finance, we build environments that adhere to HIPAA and other industry-specific regulations. Security isn't an add-on for us; it's the foundation of our delivery model.
Why not just hire our own in-house Moodle developer? It seems simpler.
It seems simpler, but it's often riskier and more expensive. Finding, vetting, and retaining a single, true Moodle expert is a challenge. What happens if they get sick, quit, or hit a technical problem they can't solve? With Developers.dev, you're not hiring an individual; you're onboarding an entire Moodle ecosystem. For a comparable cost, you get a dedicated developer, a project manager, QA analyst oversight, and access to our senior architects and security specialists. Plus, we offer a free replacement guarantee. We absorb all the HR and retention risks so you can focus on your goals.
Is Moodle even the right choice? We're also looking at Canvas, Blackboard, or a fully custom platform.
An excellent and critical question. We are technology-agnostic partners first, Moodle experts second. Our initial consultation is designed to answer this exact question. We'll analyze your goals, user base, technical requirements, and budget. Moodle's key advantage is its limitless flexibility and zero licensing fees, making it a powerful foundation for custom solutions. If your needs are better served by a different platform or a ground-up build using our other tech stacks, we will be the first to tell you. Our goal is to build the right solution for you, not just sell you a Moodle project.
We need this done yesterday. What's your turnaround time, and can you work with our aggressive deadlines?
We understand urgency. Our scale (1000+ in-house professionals) and our POD (Pod of Developers) model are designed for rapid deployment. We can typically assemble a dedicated Moodle team for your project within 1-2 weeks. During our initial discovery call, we'll map out a realistic timeline with clear milestones. Our Agile methodology allows for flexibility and ensures we're continuously delivering value, not disappearing for months at a time. While we won't make impossible promises, we are built for speed and can often accelerate timelines where other firms can't.
Our current Moodle site is a mess. It's slow, buggy, and outdated. Is it better to start over or can you rescue it?
We specialize in "Legacy App Rescue." Before recommending a full rebuild, our team will conduct a thorough audit of your existing platform, covering code quality, database performance, security vulnerabilities, and plugin architecture. We'll then provide a data-backed recommendation. Often, we can strategically refactor and optimize the existing site for a fraction of the cost of a rebuild, saving your historical data and user progress. We'll give you a clear, honest assessment of the most efficient path forward.
