Dev shop delays led to a $25K WordPress project mishap in Eastern Europe. Is this standard practice, or did I overspend? Need vetting tips for future projects.
Based on my experience with WordPress projects, spending $25K certainly seems steep unless the project had extensive customizations and unique business requirements. I’ve worked with several development firms and noticed that efficiency, clarity in specifications, and realistic timelines are key. When projects are delayed, costs can escalate rapidly. It’s essential to maintain thorough communication and clear deliverables from the beginning. Vet potential partners by checking portfolios and client references, as this helps avoid similar issues and enables better alignment with your expectations and budget.
hey, im not surprised, delays can jack up costs. 25k might be a bit exaggerated if timelines were met. eastern eu firms can deliver if you have a strict scope. best to set clear milestones & keep regular checks for next time.
