Designli Reviews & Testimonials

Mobile App Development Review from John Laporte
Designli helped us define the requirements, features, and user experience for an app for our motorcycle organization. They produced technical documentation and a clickable prototype covering navigation, member tools, and safety features. They were responsive, delivered on time every time, and turned our broad concepts into something people could actually click through. The prototype got our stakeholders aligned, earned internal approval, and set us up for engineering, and working out design questions early should save us rework later.

Mobile App Development Review from Brandi Heffner
Designli built our SaaS product from scratch, using AI to speed up development, with AWS and Cloudflare in the stack, and they also handle our hosting and maintenance. We had a working MVP in just 30 days and have kept adding features since. In the first 60 days they went beyond what we expected, largely because they took the time to really learn our business and our market. Coordination through Basecamp and Google Meet has kept everything organized.

Mobile App Development Review from Thomas Simmons
Designli took over app development and marketing for our driving school, with the goal of building a product we could eventually offer to other schools. Within two and a half months, the app was up and running in our own school. Their project management is excellent, and they push back constructively, thinking through what we actually need instead of building every request as-is.

Simpalm Reviews & Testimonials

Mobile App Development Review from Guiulianna Cespedes
Our company needed an Android app that could support a mental health platform in a way that felt calm, easy to use, and dependable for daily users. We hired Simpalm to build that product in Kotlin and help us move from concept into something real customers could use. For us, trust and simplicity mattered more than packing in too many features.They took a fairly hands-on role, which was helpful because we were still making product decisions as the project moved. Some weeks I was deeply involved reviewing screens, and other weeks they pushed things forward on their own. That balance worked well. They would usually come back with two or three options instead of just asking what we wanted.We did hit one rough patch around notifications where the first version didn’t behave the way we expected, so that had to be revisited. They fixed it without making the process difficult.The finished app runs smoothly, feels organized, and gave us a much stronger mobile presence on Android. Most importantly, early users found it approachable rather than overwhelming, which was exactly what we wanted.
Mobile App Development Review from Amanda Chalofsky
My experience with Simpalm was very good. They made a full prototype of our neuro-wellness app so we could show partners and investors what our system looks like. It matched our brand and showed the flow in a simple way. Their communication was steady, they stayed on time, and they explained things clearly. The prototype helped people understand our idea fast, and it moved our project forward. I felt supported the whole time.

Mobile App Development Review from Matt Rudnick
Working with Simpalm has been a really positive experience. We hired them to handle the frontend development of our mobile app for iOS and Android, while our backend was already in place. From the start, their team communicated clearly, stayed organized, and met every deadline we set. They were flexible when we added new features, and their designer’s input really helped improve the look and usability of the app. I appreciated how reliable and easy they were to work with having a U.S.-based team made communication smooth and fast.

Five Jars Reviews & Testimonials

Software Development Review from Jake Mackay
For quite a long time we took orders by e-mail or personally from customers. It took a lot of time, as we either made layouts by hand or printed them according to the vague requirements of clients. All these difficulties have pushed us to take a step towards the digital transformation of our business. The team of Five Jars has developed a frontend and backend for our web tool to create print layouts. The team is not afraid to take on difficult tasks!

Responsive Review from Anthony North
I was looking for companies that had experience with large educational platforms. There are some really big players in the eLearning market in Five Jars' portfolio, so I trusted their development experience. After all our platform has become more attractive to users. Over the past year, we have noticed a significant increase in daily visits, so much so that we even had to change hosting. Five Jars helped us with that too!

Small Business Review from Colin Knox
I'm satisfied with the MVP we've done with the Five Jars team. I am currently looking for an investor for this project. I love working with professionals when I don't have to dive into a whole area that I don't know. Working with the Five Jars was a real partnership where the other side fulfilled their obligations without my constant checks.

Web Design Review from Melissa Hamilton
Ethan and Alan are extremely professional, responsive, and fun to work with. We completed the UX Design phase of our project and I am truly excited about the look of our upcoming website. They understood my vision and brand. I have minimal background with web development and I felt like I was in good hands with them. They walked me through each phase and let me know what to expect. They established clear goals which made the process seamless and easy so far.

Maxiom Technology Reviews & Testimonials

Web Development Review from jack ehrhardt
They meet our needs with a quick response. They're willing to work with us and handle issues. The quality of work is decent. Our IT director mentioned that Maxiom Technology is competitively priced compared to other vendors. The team gives a reasonable deadline at the outset of projects and usually sticks to it. We communicate via email and phone. Their response time and communication are impressive. Be honest with what you're looking for. Maxiom will be responsive and willing to investigate your needs. The team may offer solutions you might not have thought about before.

Software Development Review from Andrew Meiners
Maxiom Technology has been working with Truth Quotient LLC on program managment in quantifying the scope of work of the Maxiom Technology developer. The Maxiom Technology developer has been working with us every day over the last 8 months or so on developing a custom software tool. They have delivered the product to us and we are in sales at this point. We are continuing to refine and develop the software daily.

Web Development Review from Laura Cole
Maxiom Technology has been designing and building a new website from scratch. We started the project with a robust discovery phase, where the team queried us about our design and branding goals for the site. They provided us with a site map of our existing website, which we used to inform the new structure. The team also pushed us to determine what we wanted out of a content refresh, so I ran several internal discussions with our team and relayed feedback to Maxiom Technology. We had our own brand standards, but we didn't have any specific requests for the design. We just wanted Maxiom Technology to standardize each department page and develop template themes for other pages. The team worked iteratively to design templates for each page using Figma. They also designed different navigation options for mobile and desktop. We wanted to enable user acceptance testing (UAT), so they built clickable, high-fidelity prototypes. They also updated our websites backend to facilitate communication with our servers. Now, they;re rebuilding our content editor to help us update the site while adhering to our brand. Soon, they'll start developing the website using DotNetNuke (DNN), an open-source platform.
