As the title suggests—and the tips prove—this brief guide to getting a web app up-and-running on a small budget requires, well, a budget (as opposed to no budget and doing it all yourself). The steps:
- Create a clear wireframe model
- Outsource the development
- Use an open source content management system
- Start a design contest
- Leverage the cloud
There are a couple of good resources to be found in the guide, but it’s worth doing your own research first, too. I say this mainly because design contests are quite a contentious issue.
