Quality work, a little slower than we planned

Georgia Stewart / Co-Founder & CTO | Oct 16, 2026

The final product works well for us, although the process could have been smoother. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. 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. Estimates on a few features were optimistic and those took longer than planned.

Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

We partnered with Black Dot to migrate our on-premise servers to AWS. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. The engagement ran for about 9 months.

A reliable long-term partner for our tech needs

Mitch Ryan / Marketing Director | Aug 19, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. I would recommend Black Dot to anyone looking for a dependable Web Development partner.

Honest advice and solid execution

Siddharth Verma / CTO | Aug 19, 2026

The project went well overall. 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. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing. Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.
