When many customers are doing small program software development, they only consider the early product effects of small program software development. In fact, the most important thing is that the source code of software development should also be delivered to customers.
Whether different customers need the development source code in the later stage of development is different. Some customers need the source code for subsequent secondary development, and some customers need it as technical property rights, and can apply for software copyrights to protect their own rights and interests in software products.
After the development, this set of code is owned by the client company, not by the Mini Program company. These should also be explained clearly during the early development.
Next, let me tell you about the details:
1. Is the source code in the SaaS template?
When developing small programs, most customers may choose SaaS products because of insufficient funds and care about cost performance, because the price is low and deployment can be used quickly.
In the SaaS template, there are often two ways:
1. SaaS also has source code. For a SaaS template delivered with source code, who owns the copyright of the source code?
If it belongs to a small program software development company, that is good news. But if we don’t know who the source code belongs to, then we may infringe on the copyright issue later, which will affect the customer’s use of the software.
In addition, the development of the small program software delivered by the source code of the SaaS template is not developed by the software company itself. Then there is no way for the customer to do secondary development of the small program software or modify the software function. The source code is not developed by our own company, and it is difficult for small program software companies to take over, because some core codes may be encrypted by others, and some important programs cannot be modified again.
Therefore, when signing a contract for cooperation, it is necessary to explain in detail the issue of software copyright, which can also avoid a series of problems later.
2. Many SaaS products do not support source code delivery, because a SaaS product can survive in the market, which means that the small program software company must have invested a lot of labor costs in it, and the functions cover a wide range. Customers buy a set of source code SaaS products for thousands of dollars at will, and the small program software company not only loses money, but also may leak the code because of this.
If the purchased SaaS template supports source code delivery, then there may be a lot of this software on the market, and there is no difficulty at all, and there is no advantage.
Second, personalized development with source code
Personalized development, also called customized development, is a set of software tailored according to the individual needs of customers, which is something that template software cannot meet.
Small program software custom development has the highest price among all development templates, and the construction period is also the longest. Because in the whole cycle, the small program software company needs to communicate with customers to confirm the detailed requirements and actual usage scenarios of the software, organize the function list documents, draw product prototype diagrams for confirmation, and so on.
Personalized development of Mini Program software products can not only protect the copyright of the software, but also include all rights and interests. After the mini program product development is completed, important data such as front-end and back-end codes and renderings will be packaged to customers.
If the customer is not very sensitive to the price of the Mini Program product and has certain requirements for the delivery of source code, it is recommended that the customer do customized development.
If the customer is sensitive to the price, it is recommended to choose a template first and use it for a period of time. If you find that there are functions that cannot be satisfied by the template during use, you can choose custom development.
