Do you have a great idea that requires you to build a web or phone application?  If yes,  you typically have four avenues to build a prototype. 1. raise capital (challenging) and pay for a professional company to build it (expensive) 2. outsource it to freelancers in India (even more challenging) 3. sign up to a subscription template (highly restricted) or 4. learn to code and build a skeleton version yourself (it’s how Survey Monkey and many other multi-million dollar sites got started) If you are interested in taking control of your ideas and learning to code, please complete the form below:
