Are inflation and the UK labor shortage putting a damper on your dreams of launching an app in 2022?
Outsourcing your next web development project is a little-known way to save money and find a more cost-effective solution to making the move online.
However, finding the right agency can be a headache, especially if you’re looking into outsourcing in countries you know little about.
So what are the best destinations for outsourcing web development in 2022? Where would you find the cheapest developers at the most affordable rates?
This blog will offer insight into the most inexpensive outsourcing destinations for app development that will quickly get your business online and increase your brand visibility.
Where are the Best Destinations for Outsourcing Web Development in 2022?
Searching for the ideal outsourcing destination can be intimidating, especially if you’re used to doing business in the U.K.
India and Southeast Asia top the list of most affordable regions to outsource your next web development project.
While Hong Kong, Bangkok, and Tapei might come to mind when you imagine Asian tech hubs, there’s a handful of up-and-coming countries that are staying competitive in the cyberworld; and a few of them may surprise you.
Here are the top three countries to outsource your next tech project to.
The Philippines
White sand beaches and exotic cocktails are traditionally what comes to mind when talking about the Philippines.
Of course, we could go on at length about the country’s stunning natural beauty, but we’ll save that for another post.
The island nation also tops the list of best places to outsource web development in 2022.
The Philippines is an attractive outsourcing destination due to both its large available talent pool and competitive price point. With the average cost of living just half of what it is in the U.K., you’re sure to find some outstanding deals for your next project.
Worried about encountering problems with communicating with developers half a world away?
Because English is widely spoken and understood, doing business in the country is particularly easy and cuts down on possible communication barriers. As a matter of fact, more people speak English in the Philippines than in the U.K!
Are you convinced yet?
With one of the fastest-growing economies in Asia, the Philippines is quickly playing catch up to established tech hubs in-region.
Sure, the country has a long way to go to catch up to the likes of Kuala Lumpur or Singapore, but it’s impressive in its own right with cities like Manilla quickly becoming home to innovative new startups.
Don’t believe us? Even Microsoft opened up a coworking space in Manilla with the mission of offering a flexible and creative space for Filipino tech innovators to spearhead new ideas.
High-quality education has helped steer the country into the digital age. And as the events of the past two years have accelerated the use of technology around the world, The Philippines are not wanting to be left behind. Because their education system places a high emphasis on Healthcare, it will be exciting to see watch what comes out of this innovative country in terms of telehealth and telecommunications.
Lightning Fast Internet
In the neighborhood and looking to drop by?
The archipelago’s super-quick internet speeds and infrastructure make it the ideal location if you’re looking for an escape to work remotely. The blazing fast internet speed has also helped tech startups such as:
- Great Deals E-Commerce
- UpLoan
- Pay Mongo
- Voyager Innovations
Overall costs of developers are much more affordable than their counterparts in other countries, so you’ll enjoy countless options for cutting costs by outsourcing to this friendly country.
While there are certainly downsides to outsourcing in the Philippines—such as time zone differences—you will get great value for your money when you outsource your web development needs in this picturesque up-and-coming tech hub.
So if you're looking for a developer or agency to design or maintain your app, consider looking to the Philippines for your outsourcing needs.
India
The Taj Mahal, Bollywood, and some of the best food on cuisine on planet earth.
There’s more to this massive country than its unique culture. With over 1.3 billion people, did you know that India is also the second-most populous country in the world after China?
And not unlike China, it’s also going through a rapidly-evolving technological transformation.
This has rendered India one of the world’s cheapest destinations for outsourcing app and web development projects.
You'll be spoiled for the choice of highly qualified UI/UX designers, mobile app developers, full-stack programmers, and animators (just to name a few) at affordable rates that might seem unbelievable compared to London prices.
New tech companies and startups are being created in India at unprecedented rates. And with the demand for IT workers skyrocketing, the world can expect great things from this economic powerhouse in the coming years.
But where does all this talent come from?
India is home to some of the most renowned colleges and universities in the world, with many of them offering world-class engineering and computer sciences programs. The heightened focus on STEM programs in the Indian educational system has resulted in top-tier engineering and innovation in the tech world. This has led Indian developers to be some of the most sought-after talent in the world.
The Ideal Location for Outsourcing
As in the Philippines, India also boasts a large English-speaking population. This creates ample opportunity to find development agencies that fits your needs and budget while reducing the chance of running into communication problems.
But the cost and ease of communication can’t be the only perks of outsourcing in India.
Is your workload too heavy and afraid you’re going to miss that important deadline? Are you in a pinch to get that one element polished off to successfully meet the launch date?
Indian developers are also well known for their speed and efficiency. While we aren’t always sure how developers from this region prepare and launch a product so quickly, we aren’t complaining.
So next time you’re in a hurry or need a service completed quickly you might want to do some digital digging in this neck of the woods.
While it might take some time to research, there exists some truly amazing talent waiting to be discovered across the majestic country.
Top Talent in Vietnam
Last, but not least, is Vietnam.
This tropical country of 95 million is one of the cheapest outsourcing destinations in the world. And has been turning a lot of heads recently due to its bustling technology sector and young, creative population.
With the average Vietnamese’ age being only 30.5 years old, this youthful county’s population knows their way around devices and smartphones. You’ll find no lack of mobile users around the economic hubs of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. This is because much of the country’s commerce, from food delivery to banking, is handled via mobile applications that were developed domestically.
Because increasingly more manufacturing is moving into the country, Vietnam is primed to become the next Asian tiger, following in the footsteps of South Korea, Hong Kong, and Taiwan who saw huge manufacturing booms before the turn of the millennium and are hoping to even give China a run for its money.
That’s because the country is becoming more technologically integrated each day, thanks in large part to the intensification of technology use as a result of the pandemic.
So if you’re in the market for a low-cost solution to content marketing, or web and app development, look no further than this exotic south-east-Asian country.
Despite boasting one of the world’s longest and jaw-dropping coastlines, the country’s cost of living is relatively low. This means it’s still possible to receive high-quality work at a fraction of the price compared to the U.K. or U.S.
For example, the tech startup Xenia is a well-established Vietnamese app and web development agency that’s been spearheading outsourced development projects since 2021. The company operates out of two of the countries’ startup hubs, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang, and have been wowing clients with their passionate and innovative web services. With the promise of value for its impressive products, the organization promises high-quality services at competitive prices.
