Dependable UI/UX Design Partner for a Growing Construction Business

Amanda Bennett / Program Manager | Oct 04, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since.

If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

Project summary

Akwad was brought in to redesign the user experience of our SaaS product. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. The engagement ran for about 8 months.

Solid AI & Machine Learning Work With Clear Communication Throughout

Daan Meijer / Co-Founder & CTO | Jul 10, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far.

We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

We engaged Akwad to automate document data extraction that our team was doing by hand. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. Overall it was a 2-month engagement.

Solid delivery, though timelines needed some pushing

Jonas Richter / Owner | Jun 12, 2026

We got a good result in the end, but the road there had a few bumps. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since. There were some early misunderstandings on requirements that took a few rounds to sort out. I would recommend Akwad to anyone looking for a dependable Web Development partner.

Project summary

We hired Akwad to rebuild a slow, outdated web app and move it to a new framework. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. We worked together for around 2 months.

Great Experience With Akwad on Our Mobile App Development Project

Jessica Carter / Founder | May 07, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. When we changed our minds on a couple of features halfway through, they handled it without fuss and were clear about the impact on cost and timeline.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly.

I would recommend Akwad to anyone looking for a dependable Mobile App Development partner.

Project summary

Akwad was brought in to develop a field-staff app with offline mode that syncs back to our main system. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. The engagement ran for about 8 months.

Solid UI/UX Design Work With Clear Communication Throughout

Ben Wright / VP of Engineering | Apr 12, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline.

Good work overall, with a few bumps along the way

Eric Hayes / Founder & CEO | Mar 24, 2026

The final product works well for us, although the process could have been smoother. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.

They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.
