Since Eazy Cheezy was launched last September, there’s been quite a few changes and enhancements in both the design and platform. I’ve taken quite a few chances and the end result has been quite rewarding. The site was started using a Blogger Platform, transitioned to it’s own Domain, then migrated to a WordPress Platform. As I look to further expand the site and take a few more chances, my most recent curiosity is in developing an App for Eazy Cheezy. I’ve been researching this process and have found countless resources that I wanted to share.

I currently have no time-table for when the Eazy Cheezy App will be developed, but I do plan to make this happen either by developing it myself or by utilizing one of the available business solutions. Do you have any tips you could share? Any services that you’d recommend?

RE: Any tips
Well, it seems like you have two choices: outsource the project or do it yourself. If you want to do it yourself then you have a lot of homework to do first – but I can see that you have been already started with that.
If you want to outsource, be ready to budget around $5,000 to get the app built. Sites like oDesk and e-lance are your best bet for a one off project – you can look at resumes and let developers bid on your project. I would recommend reading the eBook Carla White wrote on outsourcing her app; the book is called "Inside Secrets to an iPhone App".
