We needed a professional Admin Panel for our business idea and we partnered with Lucky Media. They used Laravel and Filament to quickly build an MVP that we could test with real users.

Lucky Media has proven to be the best website redesign agency in the US. Our collaboration with Lokman and his team has been nothing short of exceptional. They transformed our outdated and malfunctioning website into a highly efficient platform in record time. We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with Lucky Media!

Lucky Media built us an MVP for our mobile app idea using React Native. They also moved our web app over to Next.js, turning it into a single-page application that runs much better.

Our e-commerce platform in Dallas needed a robust mobile app to enhance customer engagement, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The development team took the time to understand our business needs, delivering an app that not only looks fantastic but functions smoothly. Their proactive support team is available 24/7, which was crucial as we rolled out new features. This team knows their stuff when it comes to building top-tier e-commerce apps—highly recommended!

1 2's Review Sourced from Google
We hired flexsin technologies to build software for us in July 2022. They agreed to sign NDAs and all relevant paperwork. They prepared the NDA as they preferred it and sent it to us for review and signature. We reviewed the NDA and changed the Jurisdiction to UK and sent it back to them for a signature which they delayed in signing up to date. After they reviewed everything, they gave us an estimation of USD 17,000. They sent us a contract with upper price cap stating that any extra activities and costs incurred above the agreed upper price cap will be their responsibility and we as the client will have to pay nothing extra. They estimated the project will take 12-14 weeks. They started the project and assured us the NDA and Contract is getting sorted and they will send it over as soon as. Long story short flexsin Technology never honoured the contract and the price cap as the price started increasing past the price cap. It is now been 8 months since they started the project and they have not signed the NDA nor the Contract as agreed. We noticed they misspelt the names on the NDA and Contract. We asked them to rectify the spelling mistakes and they have refused asking us to Change the NDA that they wrote themselves to meet their interests. They are asking us to include on the NDA that UPwork will resolve disputes in relation to incorrect spellings on the paperwork and the NDA as if they are planning to make more mistakes. Up work is just a platform that brings developers and clients together, UPwork does not resolve spelling mistakes and unsigned paperwork. UPwork is NOT developing our software for us, we did NOT share the software information with UPwork, we shared information with Flexsins Technologies and above all Up work did NOT misspell or fail to sign the NDA or Contract, that was Flexsins Technologies mistakes to fix and NOT UPwork mistakes to fix. They are now asking to write another contract for more money probably with another price cap just to lure. They have agreed to send the assets back to us immediately. Updates of this review to follow on here, twitter, LinkedIn, IG, TikTok, and any other platform.

I have had a great experience with Flexsin. My small business is a bit of a niche (horse racing) but the team at Flexsin worked very hard to understand the nuances. Very impressive breadth of skills on the team. The support work they do for my small business on a monthly retainer has been good, as has their project work on a mobile app.

I've been with Flexsin for 3 years now, and it's a great place to work. Talented technical staff and good management. After years of providing IT staffing solutions for US based companies with local personnel, I'm now able to save our clients a LOT of money by using the resources of our talented team of resources at our offshore development center instead.

Mobile App Development Review from DJA
We paid $117,000 across two contracts $68,000 for development and $49,000 for marketing to Naked Development for a consumer-ready iOS and Android app and a full marketing funnel.They delivered neither.We originally requested delivery by Black Friday, the most critical sales window for a parent-focused consumer app. Naked Development proposed December as an alternative. That deadline was their own suggestion. They missed it. We extended to January, then February, then April, then issued a formal written Notice of Breach before giving them one final deadline the following June. Every deadline was missed. We were over 300% over timeline.When we finally handed the codebase to a second development firm, the app would not build on either iOS or Android. We paid thousands just to get it running enough to assess the damage. The contracted team was never fully assembled. Tickets were put on hold without explanation. Subscription management, the most critical feature of the app, was broken for months and never fixed by Naked.The commercial video Naked produced was unusable by launch, as cultural references had gone stale during the delay.We are software engineers who have led teams of over 100. These were not minor issues. They were basic, objective engineering failures.When we raised breach concerns with founder John Driscoll, his response was "let's just let our lawyers talk about it."We are aware of more than a dozen other former clients who experienced similar issues. Do not recommend.

Mobile App Development Review from Mimi Bouchard
I hired Naked Development in 2022 to build a new version of my mobile app. I paid $203,000 upfront (spread over six months essentially everything I had saved from my first year in business), and was told the app would be completed in five months, by Fall 2022.Instead, the project turned into nearly a year of delays, almost done updates, and declining involvement from their team. My very small internal team and I ended up doing much of the project management and QA work ourselves because progress had stalled so severely. Despite constant reassurances, no functional product was ever delivered.By mid-2023, I hired multiple external development teams to assess the code. Every single one independently concluded that the app was non-functional, unstable, not scalable, and could not be launched. They warned it would crash immediately and required a complete rebuild. I then hired a neutral third-party auditor with zero connection to any agency and his report confirmed the same findings.After paying over $200K, I had nothing usable. When I factored in delays, internal time lost, expert audits, and the cost of rebuilding from scratch, the financial impact to my business exceeded $500,000.After multiple attempts to resolve the situation privately were unsuccessful, I filed a lawsuit, which is now a matter of public record (Superhuman Inc. v. Naked Development). The case is set for trial in early 2026. While litigation is never something a founder hopes for, at a certain point it became the only responsible path given the evidence and the financial damage.I strongly recommend extreme caution when considering this agency.

Mobile App Development Review from Jared Bossola
Working with people that are as creative as I am is awesome. Receiving top marks across the board, Naked. is an innovative team of artists. The client praises them for their outside-the-box thinking and ability to connect on a creative level. Throughout the project, they’ve demonstrated attentive service and communication.

alexiel desiveria's Review Sourced from Google
It's the place where I experienced the worst stress. I believed the story of not being good at working there. The agency is a slave driver, working from 0 to 10, as far as I knew, in 2022. It exceeded my limits as a person, but not as a worker, because now I know I'm very good at my current job, where they value every minute I give them. If you're toxic and love working from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., this place is for you. Of course, with the help of chat gpt, you're already on the other side today in 2024, but think twice and do your research on horror agencies. It's the worst thing that has happened to me in my professional career. Definitely a stain I'll never be able to remove from my CV.

Hello, I might be the first, or perhaps one of the first, people to complain about this company's service. Their commitment to customers can't possibly be worth it. I bought a piece of furniture on June 27th, and it still hasn't been delivered. Oh my God, I don't have a contact who can give me a solution. Therefore, if there were stars to the left, they would surely get the highest negative rating.How terrible they are.

"We loved working with badpixel!We had already started talking with some potential locations and we needed to quickly establish our logo and branding. With the questionnaire that kicked off our discovery, we were able to capture what we were looking for and it was clearly understood as we went into our first review and really liked what we saw. After a few modifications, we had our logo and style guide allowing us to start working on our social presence while the badpixel team continued to work on our Square website setup.Once the site was ready, they walked us through everything and we were able to jump in and take control! Getting a website up just before the holiday season was huge, it lead to our first sales and profit!"

5 FAQs About Software Development Companies in Texas
What are the red flags when evaluating software developers in Texas?
The clearest red flag is an agency that skips a paid discovery phase and moves directly to writing code, which almost always leads to scope creep, plenty of rework, and a final bill that bears no resemblance to the original quote.
If the development requirements are not well defined prior to billing, the ambiguity works in the software agency’s favor as it allows it to add more billable hours. Here are some other warning signs to look for during evaluation:
No structured discovery phase offered. Any agency that can quote a fixed price within 48 hours of a brief discovery call hasn't fully scoped your project.
Case studies that show screenshots but not outcomes. A credible case study should name the client, the problem, the timeline, and the outcome.
The team you meet in sales is not the team building your product. Ask to meet your assigned project manager and lead developer before signing.
Vague answers on IP ownership. You should own 100% of the code on day one after final payment. Any hedging on this needs a lawyer before you proceed.
No defined communication frequency in the contract. If sprint reviews, status reports, and escalation paths aren't written into the agreement, you'll be chasing updates six months in.
References are unavailable or from more than three years ago. Tech projects fail regularly; ask for two references from engagements completed in 2024 or 2025.
What do software development companies in Texas charge that most clients don't expect?
Project management overhead and infrastructure provisioning routinely add 30% to 50% to the base development rate. Here's what other costs are commonly add-ons:
Change order premiums. Every feature added after scope sign-off is typically billed at a higher rate. Agencies add 20% to 40% contingency to fixed-price quotes simply because requirements almost always change.
Post-launch support and maintenance. Annual post-launch support for any application is rarely included in a proposal for the build phase.
Cloud infrastructure and DevOps setup. AWS, Azure, or GCP configurations do not fall under development, and agencies often bill them separately.
QA and testing. Many proposals quote for development hours only.
Handover and documentation. At the end of the engagement, you need working documentation to maintain and extend the codebase.
What's the difference between a good Texas software agency and an average one?
The difference between a good and average software developer in Texas will reflect in the way they handle your first two conversations: a good agency asks harder questions than you do, while an average agency rushes to propose solutions before understanding the problem.
Here's what separates them across the five critical evaluation criteria:
Criteria
Average agency
Good agency
Discovery
Quotes after one call
Charges for discovery; won't quote without it
Case studies
Screenshots and logos
Named client, defined problem, measurable outcome
Team access
Sales team only pre-contract
Introduces your actual PM and lead dev before signing
Scope handling
Agrees with everything you say
Pushes back on unrealistic timelines or budgets
Risk discussion
No mention of what could go wrong
Mentions technical and timeline risks proactively
What should a software development case study feature?
A case study worth taking seriously names the client or offers a reference call, describes the specific technical problem, identifies the stack used, and quantifies a measurable outcome. Here's what to look for:
A defined starting point: Where was the client's system before the engagement? Without a baseline, be it legacy architecture, error rate, deployment frequency, or user drop-off, there is no way to evaluate how much the agency actually moved.
A specific problem: "The client needed a modernized platform" is not a problem. "The client's monolithic architecture was preventing deployments more than once per quarter" is. The specificity of the problem statement tells you how precisely the agency scopes work.
Stack and architecture decisions explained: Why did they choose that framework, cloud provider, or database? Agencies that can articulate sequencing decisions understand software architecture as a system.
Timeline honesty: How long did the engagement actually run versus what was originally scoped? An agency that only presents on-time, on-budget case studies is either working in low-complexity environments or omitting the engagements that didn't go as smooth.
A business outcome: Deployment frequency doubled. Support ticket volume dropped 60%. Time-to-close for sales-assisted workflows cut from 14 days to 3. If the case study stops at "we re-architected the backend," ask directly why no business result is cited.
How do I choose between two software developers in Texas that look equally qualified on paper?
When two software development companies look equally qualified on paper, the differentiator is always process. Ask each one the same operational questions and compare the specificity of their answers:
What happens if a requirement needs to change mid-sprint? A named change order process with a written approval step is the right answer. "We're flexible" is not.
How do you handle a project that falls behind schedule? You're looking for a specific escalation contact and a defined timeline for resolution.
Who do I contact at 4pm on a Friday with an urgent issue? The answer should be a name, not a reference to a support portal.
Can I see a sample sprint report from a current engagement? Redacted client information is expected. What you're evaluating is the format, the depth, and whether it's the kind of document that would actually keep you informed.
What would you do differently if you could restart your most recent project? An agency with no candid answer to that question hasn't examined its own work closely enough to improve it.
