When to Partner with Experts
DIY works for simple forms (3-5 screens), departmental tools with limited integration, and low-risk prototypes. If you're testing an idea or building something contained, go ahead and experiment.
But when the app is expected to operate like a real system with multiple system integrations, complex approval workflows, enterprise-scale deployment, AI-powered automation, security requirements, or legacy modernization, that's when you need professionals. These scenarios have too many variables and too much at stake for trial and error.
The hidden cost of going it alone: 3-6 months wasted on trial and error, technical debt that haunts you for years, and a 60% failure rate. Simple projects can absorb that risk. Business-critical applications can't.
