When you connect with Fora Soft, the first thing you'll experience is a personal consultation focused on your idea. Our specialist will quickly analyze your requirements, help you develop a product plan, and provide insights into your idea and competitors' solutions: what they did well and what they didn't; what will work well and what won’t.
In this article, we'll explain:
- how personal consultation works
- why it is a crucial stage in project development,
- what the next steps are on the path to releasing a great product.
How does a personal consultation work?
To prepare an accurate estimate for project development more than knowing a general idea is required. We need to clarify details that cannot be fully conveyed through text. That's why, when a new client contacts us, we offer a personal consultation with our specialist.
Whether you want to develop a completely new project from scratch or improve an existing one, the first step is always the same: a personal consultation about your product.
For a new project
We'll discuss your project, recommend suitable technologies, and share insights on successful product development. We review competitors' products to identify the best approaches and features for your product and point out what won't work. With our extensive experience in handling complex projects, we know which technologies and features to choose.
Our experts will prepare a detailed feature list, considering development time, testing, project management, and launch. Here's what it looks like:

We also create a custom architecture with a technology stack for each system component. This preparation usually takes 2-3 working days. After that, you'll receive a high-level plan to develop your product.
For an already existing project
We'll audit your system, recommend improvements, and suggest ways to implement them. We'll also provide insights on how to make your product more attractive to users.
We conduct a comprehensive review of the project, including code and architecture, and prepare an estimate for developing new functionality. Just like with a brand-new product, you'll receive a high-level plan to upgrade or improve your system.
Why can't we do the same thing through text?
Spoiler: it's more efficient.
We offer more than just a simple call where our specialist asks template questions and provides abstract estimates. Our personal consultation saves you time by immediately clarifying not only all the necessary basic details but also asking specific, clarifying questions unique to your project — questions that can’t be anticipated in advance.
Additionally, the sooner we clarify as many details and requirements as possible, the less time the development process will take, saving you both time and resources.
Finally, a personal consultation helps determine if your idea needs to be modified or added with new features in order to be more successful, profitable, and user-friendly. Having reviewed thousands of project concepts and ideas over the years, we can accurately advise on what to add or remove to make your project stand out, right from the first consultation.
Next step
Our personal consultation and express analytics save you time and provide you with a high-level plan for product development.
More importantly, you'll receive our insights and comments on all the features and technologies we suggest. We share our experience on how to develop your product better and avoid traps and pitfalls, ensuring your product works stably and securely.
You'll also receive estimates to guide you when communicating with other developers.
