Web Design Review from Undisclosed
I hired Fingent to create a web-based application for my website's visitors. They communicated their strategy effectively and adhered to our agreement. The pricing was notably low compared to other quotes I received. Ultimately, the project was a huge success, and they continued to provide support even after delivery.

Tania Hill's Review Sourced from Google
As part of the voluntary administration group for the Inspire Foundation, I have worked closely with Julie and the Custom D team in the setting up of the Foundation's online application process. The team have been amazing to work with, finding solutions for the step by step processes as we worked our way through the implementation of the online system. Starting from scratch, their ability to grasp our needs quickly and clearly most certainly went a huge way towards creating a seamless process from what was a daunting prospect in the beginning. The open communication lines and prompt results greatly impressed me and I whole heartedly recommend Custom D as THE company to go to for all of your software, website and database design requirements.

Jason took the time to truly understand my business needs and vision, translating them into a clean, modern, and user-friendly design that perfectly reflects my brand.Communication was clear and efficient throughout the process—every question was addressed promptly, and every detail was handled with care. Jason offered thoughtful suggestions while also respecting my input, ensuring the final product was exactly what I envisioned.The updated site not only looks fantastic but also functions seamlessly across devices, making it easy for customers to navigate and place orders.

While these standard services are prevalent, Australia’s diverse business market drives demand for other specialized solutions, such as AI development, blockchain solutions, and AR/VR applications.
While there is no exact data on the number of software development companies in Australia, the overall tech workforce has reached 935,000 employees in 2023, emphasizing the vastness of the industry. Our DesignRush listing features over 7,600 custom development firms, 280+ of which are based or have offices in Australia.
Here’s a breakdown of our featured agencies by company size:

| Mid-sized (50-249 employees) | 102 |
| Large (250+ employees) | 38 |
