Athena Plus Reviews

Exceeded our expectations on quality and communication

Lauren Morgan / Founder & CEO | Aug 19, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. 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. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

The AR/VR Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

We engaged Athena Plus to create an interactive 3D showroom for our website. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. Overall it was a 7-month engagement.

Reliable Web Development Partner That Delivered What They Promised

Maya Roy / IT Manager | Aug 09, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.

The Web Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes.

We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Delivered on time and stayed involved after launch

Ruby Walker / Head of Digital | Jul 30, 2026

Athena Plus did an excellent job for us. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.
