Lahore has hundreds of “software houses”. A few will ship a product you can run without them. Many will take a deposit, send three mockups, and go quiet. This guide is the filter we wish every buyer used — including people who later hire WordbitX.
Ask for a written scope before money moves
A real custom software or website quote names pages, roles, integrations and what is out of scope. A WhatsApp paragraph is not a contract. If they cannot write the first milestone, they cannot build it.
Who owns Git, hosting and the app stores?
- Source code in your GitHub / GitLab from week one.
- Domain, Vercel/hosting and Google/Apple developer accounts in the company name.
- Admin passwords you can change without asking anyone in DHA or Gulberg.
Red flags we see every month
- 1Guaranteed Google #1 or “10,000 backlinks this month”.
- 2A portfolio of templates with no process write-up.
- 3Staff count on LinkedIn that does not match the people on the call.
- 4A US street address they cannot show on a map.
- 5No questions about your workflow — only about your budget.
What “international” actually means
A Lahore team can serve the USA, UK and UAE if overlap hours, English writing and client-owned cloud accounts are real. It does not mean a fake New York office. We publish how we work with each market on the global pages.
A one-page brief that gets a useful quote
- Who uses the product (staff, customers, both).
- The one job that must work on day one.
- Must-have integrations (JazzCash, Stripe, a courier, an ERP).
- Deadline and a budget range — not “as cheap as possible”.
Send that to contact. If a smaller tool already solves it, we will say so.
