Honest advice and solid execution

Ruby Ngata / Founder | Oct 09, 2026

Bleakers did an excellent job for us. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.

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

I would recommend Bleakers to anyone looking for a dependable Web Development partner.

Project summary

We hired Bleakers 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 7 months.

Dependable Mobile App Development Partner for a Growing Real Estate Business

Amit Kulkarni / CEO | Sep 22, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. 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.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day.

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

Project summary

We hired Bleakers to develop a field-staff app with offline mode that syncs back to our main system. Scope included discovery workshops, development in two-week sprints and a short support period after launch. Overall it was a 5-month engagement.

Solid delivery, though timelines needed some pushing

Neha Reddy / VP of Engineering | Aug 07, 2026

We got a good result in the end, but the road there had a few bumps. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. 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.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. We had to follow up a few times on smaller bug fixes after launch. Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

We hired Bleakers to rebuild a slow, outdated web app and move it to a new framework. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. We worked together for around 5 months.

Reliable IoT Development Partner That Delivered What They Promised

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.

Maya Sandhu / Director | May 31, 2026

The project went well overall. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.

Great Experience With Bleakers on Our Web Development Project

Jonas Weber / Founder | May 31, 2026

Bleakers did good work for us, and we would use them again. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline.
