Offshore development is risky. How can I trust the quality and communication?
We understand your concern, as it's a common issue in the industry. That's precisely why we built Developers.dev differently. We operate at CMMI Level 5, the highest appraisal for process maturity, ensuring predictable, high-quality outcomes. All our 1000+ developers are full-time, in-house employees, not freelancers, fostering a culture of accountability. You'll have a dedicated project manager in your timezone, daily stand-ups, and complete transparency through tools like Jira and Slack. We mitigate your risk further with a 2-week paid trial and a free-replacement guarantee. We don't just promise quality; we prove it.
Your rates might be higher than freelance developers or smaller agencies.
You're right to focus on total cost of ownership, not just the hourly rate. A cheaper, less experienced developer can cost you significantly more in the long run through buggy code, security vulnerabilities, and missed deadlines. When you partner with us, you're not just hiring a developer; you're integrating an entire ecosystem. This includes QA, DevOps, security experts, and project management, all backed by our CMMI 5 processes, at no extra line-item cost. This integrated approach prevents costly rework and ensures your project is built right the first time, delivering a much higher ROI.
How do I know your developers truly have deep expertise in Yii?
Our Answer: Our vetting process is rigorous. Only the top 3% of applicants make it onto our team. Our Yii developers have an average of 5+ years of experience specifically with the framework, working on complex projects from legacy Yii 1 migrations to building scalable Yii 2/3 applications from scratch. We can share anonymized case studies and technical deep-dives relevant to your industry. During our consultation, we can even arrange a technical discussion with one of our senior Yii architects so you can validate their expertise directly.
We're in a different time zone. Won't that cause major delays?
We've perfected the global delivery model over 17 years, serving a 70% US-based clientele. We guarantee a minimum of 4-6 hours of overlap with your workday, ensuring seamless collaboration for meetings, code reviews, and real-time problem-solving. Our processes are built around asynchronous communication for efficiency, but we are always available during the overlapping hours for the critical, synchronous work your team needs. It's a model designed to give you the cost benefits of offshoring with the feel of an in-house team.
How do you protect our intellectual property (IP) and sensitive data?
Your security is our highest priority. We are SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certified, which means our security controls are audited and verified by third parties. We sign a comprehensive NDA before any discussion, and our contracts include full IP transfer clauses, ensuring you own 100% of the code upon final payment. Our delivery centers have strict access controls, and all developers work on secure, monitored networks. We don't just comply with best practices; we are certified for them.
We need to scale the team up or down quickly. How flexible are your models?
Our engagement models are designed for the flexibility your business needs. Our Staff Augmentation and Dedicated POD models allow you to scale your team with as little as two weeks' notice. Whether you need to add a single Yii developer to your existing team or build out a full cross-functional POD with backend, frontend, QA, and DevOps, we can accommodate. This agility allows you to respond to market demands without the long-term commitment and overhead of direct hires.
What if a developer assigned to my project isn't a good fit?
This is a valid concern, and we have a straightforward, no-cost solution. We offer a free-replacement guarantee. If, for any reason, a developer is not meeting your expectations, we will provide a suitable replacement and facilitate a complete knowledge transfer at zero cost to you. Our 95% employee and client retention rates mean this is rare, but the guarantee is there for your complete peace of mind.
