Ben Lord's Review Sourced from Google
I’m not usually one for making posts like this about other companies I do business with but given what I’ve experienced over the last 5 years, I feel very compelled to raising awareness into my experiences with Dotsquares.Initially, this company was very good at handling our website requirements. It was thanks to this that when I became the owner of Lorryspotting.com that I figured it would make sense to have them upgrade that website. It was a big project but with all the accolades and expertise that Dotsquares boasts about, it seemed to be within their scope of capability.Instead, it turned into the most miserable of projects that was riddled with the purest incompetence that I’ve had the misfortune to witness in almost 20 years of business. As per their terms of business, I advanced paid for part of the project yet they were incapable of delivering a functioning website. Added to this, the ageing status of the old site meant we suffered a server failure 16 months ago and when restoring the old site, it was proven that Dotsquares negligently compromised the colossal amount of data held on that site to potential hackers. By this point, enough was enough. Despite so-called “project managers” apparently understanding my business, they became mouthpieces with a catalogue of excuses and rhetoric that failed to take responsibility enveloped by expectations we would continue to pay to fix what they had caused.Ordinarily, escalating this to a company’s CEO should yield an immediate improvement to rectifying a situation. The CEO of this company ignored my email and relegated its handling to the very people causing the problem and failing to deliver any outcomes. It was therefore with no other alternative that I had to commence legal proceedings against this company. Despite repeated attempts to defend what was in essence an indefensible position, we reached a settlement on the matter, the terms of which I’m bound by a confidentiality order but has avoided it being played out before a Judge.Based on my reflections, this company may theoretically claim to value their customers but in reality their actions speak far louder. They do not deserve to be in business and I can’t even begin to fathom how they deal with some of the brands that their client list cites. I would absolutely urge anyone who does, or considers to work with them in any capacity to run for the hills - you will regret it otherwise! I only wish I had of checked out some of the reviews that are out there - reflecting on them now resonates virtually a carbon copy as to my experiences!

Palak Vig's Review Sourced from Google
I have been waiting for my website to be completed for two years now, and the experience has been increasingly frustrating. The lack of timely communication and follow-ups from their side has been disappointing. Despite my repeated efforts to get updates and move things forward, progress has been unreasonably slow. I expected a much higher level of professionalism and responsiveness. I hope they take this feedback seriously and improve their communication and delivery timelines moving forward.

We had a really good experience working with Apex Digital Agency, the Shopify Experts Perth. The team was friendly and easy to deal with, and they understood exactly what we wanted for our online store. They built our Shopify website and it turned out great, looks good and works smoothly for our customers. The whole process was pretty simple and stress-free for us. Would definitely recommend them if you need Shopify development in Perth.

Massive shout out to the team at Apex from us at Oceanic Security Services! We needed to modernize our look and get seen, and they delivered on all fronts. The new web design perth is exactly what we wanted—clean and professional.But the real value has been the marketing. They are hands down the best google ads managers we've worked with and have done a great job to increase our presence online. It’s such a relief having a local agency handle the technical stuff and social media handling while we focus on security. Highly recommended.
Primus Nutritions's Review Sourced from Google
I recently worked with the team at Apex Digital Agency and couldn't be happier with the result. I was looking for reliable Web design perth services to refresh my site, and they delivered exactly what I needed. They really understand the local market and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. If you need small business web design perth that actually converts visitors into customers, I highly recommend giving them a call. Great communication and a fantastic final product.

More specifically, these companies can deliver:
To further highlight the benefits Australia software development firms can deliver, our researchers have highlighted the following case study:
Custom software development companies in Australia offer a broad range of services to help businesses streamline operations and amplify product value. Here are some of the most common offerings they provide:
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:
| Agency size | Number of agencies |
| Small (Under 49 employees) | 133 |
| Mid-sized (50-249 employees) | 102 |
| Large (250+ employees) | 38 |
| Enterprise (1000+ employees) | 13 |
The dominance of smaller agencies can be attributed to the lower overhead costs and increased flexibility these firms offer. Mid-sized agencies, while fewer, handle larger projects that require more resources and coordination, making them an optimal choice between the smaller firms with limited capacities and larger agencies with higher service rates.
Australia software development firms charge between AUD 40,000 and 450,000+, depending on the project’s complexity, size, list of features, developer expertise, and timeline.
Some companies charge depending on the software development lifecycle (SDLC) phase, specifically:
| Development phase | Cost |
| Planning (Concept and feasibility analysis) | AUD 5,000-20,000 |
| Design (UI/UX design) | AUD 10,000-50,000 |
| Development (Frontend and backend) | AUD 50,000-300,000 |
| Testing | AUD 5,000- 30,000 |
| Deployment and maintenance | AUD 10,000-100,000 (annually) |
