@christine , your plan makes sense.

A few tips:

  • Ask for a short Loom intro + portfolio walkthrough. It tells you way more than just a link or website.
  • During the work, have them explain via Loom while making changes or do things live with you. Helps you learn and builds trust.
  • Always do a 1-day trial project before committing long-term.
  • Ask for a NDA if you are concerned about sharing your idea (I have a template for this, let me know if helpful)

After person passed trial project, 20 hours/month for 3 months sounds like a solid start.

Last tip: consider what your constraint is

  • If it is time then outsource the Bubble development to a good freelancer/agency
  • If it is money then you probably want to do more of the Bubble work yourself
    but in both scenarios make sure to focus at least 50% of time to talking to (potential) users as this is critical to make sure you built something that actually solves you user’s problem

PS: I run a Bubble Agency https://www.minimum-code.com/
