They listened, asked the right questions, and delivered

Daan de Vries / Head of Digital Transformation | Oct 06, 2026

We were happy with the final result. 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. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing. Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

Our company worked with BLARE Media to rebuild a slow, outdated web app and move it to a new framework. Scope included discovery workshops, development in two-week sprints and a short support period after launch. We worked together for around 3 months.

What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?
Our existing setup was holding us back. We wanted to rebuild a slow, outdated web app and move it to a new framework before our busy season.
What services did the company provide for your project?
Mainly Web Development. They also helped with the technical planning and a few integrations with our existing tools.

How was your overall experience with their communication and project management?
Organised and transparent. Their project manager kept the project on track and flagged risks early.

Mostly. One milestone slipped by about a week, but the final delivery was on schedule and the budget held.

Exceeded our expectations on quality and communication

Chris Fisher / Head of Engineering | Sep 18, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

The result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over.

Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

We hired BLARE Media to build a customer portal where clients can log in, track orders and download invoices. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. The engagement ran for about 4 months.

Delivered on time and stayed involved after launch

Emma Gagnon / Senior Engineering Manager | Sep 04, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with BLARE Media. 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.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. Documentation at handover was a bit thin and we had to ask for more detail. I would recommend BLARE Media to anyone looking for a dependable Web Development partner.

Strong Technical Skills and a Very Responsive IT Consulting Team

Georgia Kelly / Founder & CEO | Jul 20, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. 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. 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.

Professional Web Development Team, Smooth Delivery From Start to Finish

Julia Schmidt / CEO | Jun 09, 2026

BLARE Media did good work for us, and we would use them again. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. 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.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. We had to follow up a few times on smaller bug fixes after launch. I would recommend BLARE Media to anyone looking for a dependable Web Development partner.

Good work overall, with a few bumps along the way

Nathan Martin / Product Manager | Mar 30, 2026

Overall the project was a success, though it was not without some challenges. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. 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.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. There were some early misunderstandings on requirements that took a few rounds to sort out.

I would recommend BLARE Media to anyone looking for a dependable Game Development partner.

Project summary

BLARE Media was brought in to build the multiplayer features for our existing game. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. The project took roughly 6 months from kickoff to launch.

Solid delivery, though timelines needed some pushing

Laura Becker / CTO | Mar 22, 2026

We got a good result in the end, but the road there had a few bumps. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.

The result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over. Estimates on a few features were optimistic and those took longer than planned. Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about our specialized technology solutions? We have the answers to help you make informed decisions.

What BLARE Media charges comes down to a handful of variables — how complex the project is, the number of development hours involved, the tech stack required, team size, and which engagement model you pick. Based on available data, BLARE Media's typical hourly rate is around $100 - $149.

It depends heavily on scope. A lean MVP might be a matter of weeks, while a full enterprise system or a larger digital transformation project can stretch into months once you factor in development, testing, and deployment. With a team of 10 - 49 professionals, BLARE Media can scale resources based on project urgency.

Like most established software teams, BLARE Media typically sticks around post-launch for ongoing maintenance — bug fixes, performance tuning, security patching, new feature work, and general technical support. For context, its listed capabilities span Web Development and Mobile App Development, and it reports a team size of 10 - 49 professionals.

Most businesses reach BLARE Media through its website, a direct email, or a contact form — any of which works for discussing what you need, booking an initial conversation, or asking for a rough estimate. For context, it has experience across industries such as Retail & E-commerce, Media & Entertainment, Education, Gaming & Gambling, Logistics & Supply Chain and Fashion & Apparel, and it reports a team size of 10 - 49 professionals.

When you're weighing up a software partner such as BLARE Media, it's worth looking past the pitch and checking the portfolio, what past clients say, relevant industry background, technical range, how they communicate, pricing structure, project management style, and what support looks like after launch. For context, it has experience across industries such as Retail & E-commerce, Media & Entertainment, Education, Gaming & Gambling, Logistics & Supply Chain and Fashion & Apparel, and it reports a team size of 10 - 49 professionals.

That depends on where BLARE Media is based and who they primarily serve — some firms like this operate fully offshore, some are local-first, and plenty run a hybrid model that mixes both. For context, its listed capabilities span Web Development and Mobile App Development, and its typical hourly rate is around $100 - $149.

Usually, yes — a dedicated developer arrangement is a common option with firms like BLARE Media, where you get engineers working exclusively on your project as an extension of your in-house team rather than as a separate outsourced unit. For context, it has experience across industries such as Retail & E-commerce, Media & Entertainment, Education, Gaming & Gambling, Logistics & Supply Chain and Fashion & Apparel, and it reports a team size of 10 - 49 professionals.

Most professional shops, including BLARE Media, expect to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before getting into specifics — it's a fairly standard ask and a reasonable one to make before sharing anything sensitive. For context, it has experience across industries such as Retail & E-commerce, Media & Entertainment, Education, Gaming & Gambling, Logistics & Supply Chain and Fashion & Apparel, and its typical hourly rate is around $100 - $149.

The most reliable route is giving BLARE Media a clear, specific brief up front — through their website form, a direct email, or a call — since a vague ask tends to get a vague answer back, while a concrete one usually gets a proper estimate. For context, its listed capabilities span Web Development and Mobile App Development, and it reports a team size of 10 - 49 professionals.
