      Software Development Review from John Armstrong

      ELEKS was able to take our vision and help us deliver an app that empowers retail shareholders to make their voices heard. They’ve brought a depth and breadth of technical expertise and user experience design to challenge us on our assumptions on how people would want to interact with the app. From a mobile development perspective, we wanted to go to market with both an Android and an iPhone simultaneously.

      We are very happy with our ELEKS partnership; the dedication of the team is exceptional. We would certainly recommend ELEKS and would be happy to work with them again. In fact, they continue to be our partner for the 2nd phase of the CDX project to add even more customer services to the website.

      Software Development Review from Huntly Christie

      What impressed me about ELEKS is the culture. There is a very strong culture of discipline and performance, and software is a profession where discipline is very important. Good software development can only happen with a strong work ethic, and I think the ELEKS team really understands that.

Always quick to respond to fires, problem solve and offer options, and maintain poise at all times. 10/10 experience!Highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a world class development partner!

      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.

      I worked with Forefront to redesign my nonprofits website and had an amazing experience. They were professional, creative, easy to work with.. I could go on and on. Our website looks amazing and is exactly what we were hoping for. I worked closely with Nick during the process and could not speak more highly of him.Since our redesign project completed, we now use Forefront for our website maintenance and that has also been just a flawless experience. Anytime I run into a problem Phill helps me in a timely manner and is so helpful.Can't recommend Forefront enough!
