18 mins | August 02, 2019

What does web development outsourcing look like in 2025?

How can businesses use it wisely to unlock real value?

The outsourcing landscape has evolved in recent years. That’s why we wrote this overview: to help business leaders, startup founders, CTOs, and product owners understand how outsourcing works today and how to use it to their advantage.

To do so, we analyzed three of the most recent and respected reports:

Global outsourcing survey 2024 from Deloitte.

Global outsourcing survey 2022 from Deloitte.

The future of outsourcing research from KPMG.

Over the past 13 years, we’ve closely observed the market as both active participants and web development service providers. We united these observations in several guides with a treasure trove of helpful information. These guides are:

Software Outsourcing Costs [2025 updated].

IT Outsourcing Overview in 2025.

IT Project Outsourcing – general guide.

This framework brings it all together. It shows when outsourcing makes sense, how to avoid common traps, and how to turn a web development partnership into a source of speed, flexibility, and long-term business value.

Frequently asked questions

I want to develop software. How much will it cost?

Software development costs vary depending on several factors, such as:

the scale of your application idea (e.g., a simple two-page website or enterprise-level software solutions);
required innovations (whether it needs extra research, inventions, or uses a well-known tech stack);
the software development company’s experience in tech and project management;
software outsourcing rates.

Every idea is unique, and various factors affect its cost. That’s why we recommend contacting us for initial consulting and free analysis and estimation.

How much time will it take for you to make my app?

3 key parameters influence the software development timeline:

application complexity and scope (more complicated products take longer to develop);
quality requirements (higher standards demand more testing and extended timelines);
interdependencies between features (some functionalities may block others, limiting the ability to speed up even with more resources).

These factors are thoroughly considered when providing estimates for custom product development projects.
