Does DevExtras Offer Consultancy or Outsourcing Services?

Updated

Yes. DevExtras states that it provides a consultancy/outsourcing service. If you have a project you would like the company to get involved with, you send an email with details about the project, and DevExtras will get in touch. Two conditions are stated on the site: all development is done in the UK, and pricing is subject to the number of man days required for the project.

What the consultancy service covers

According to the DevExtras site, the consultancy offering is described as a "consultancy/outsourcing service." That means it is positioned for two related situations:

  • Consultancy — you need expertise or guidance on a project rather than a full build.
  • Outsourcing — you want DevExtras to take on development work for your project.

The site does not list specific technologies, team sizes, or service tiers for this offering, so the scope is best confirmed directly with DevExtras when you send your project details.

How to contact DevExtras about a project

The site's stated process is straightforward:

  1. Prepare your project details. The site asks that you provide details on the project in your email.
  2. Send an email. DevExtras says to send the email with those details, after which the company will get in touch.
  3. Wait for a response. DevExtras initiates contact after reviewing your project information.

The site also includes a "Contact Us" form with fields for Name, Email Address, and Message, plus a Send button, so the contact form is an alternative route to the same contact point.

What is stated about pricing and location

Two practical conditions are given on the site:

Condition What the site says
Location of work All development is done in the UK
Pricing basis Pricing is subject to the number of man days required for the project

Because pricing depends on man days, there is no fixed rate or package published on the site. You would need to describe your project to get a quote.

What DevExtras does beyond consultancy

The consultancy service sits alongside the company's other work, which may be relevant if your project touches these areas:

  • .NET development tools — including CodeReflect, described as a standalone free .NET decompiler that decompiles .NET assemblies to C#/VB.NET, and code protection and decompilation tools.
  • Mobile software — software for Android and iOS, including Voice Tools (real-time pitch and volume analysis aimed at speech therapy patients) and Rate My Voice (a social experiment for listening to and rating voices).
  • Visitor Count — a tool for tracking the number of people in a shop, pub, or other venue so you don't exceed maximum capacity.

Key takeaways

  • DevExtras does offer consultancy and outsourcing, confirmed on its own site.
  • Development is done in the UK.
  • Pricing is based on the number of man days required, so it is quoted per project.
  • To start, send an email with your project details; DevExtras will then get in touch.
