Great Experience With CDS on Our Low-Code / No-Code Development Project

Jonas Koch / Chief Digital Officer | Aug 09, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. 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. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

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

Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Project summary

We partnered with CDS to automate approval workflows using a no-code platform. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. We worked together for around 3 months.

Great Experience With CDS on Our Web Development Project

Kevin Morgan / Owner | May 20, 2026

CDS 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 shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in.

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

Strong Technical Skills and a Very Responsive Software Development Team

Chris Patel / Product Manager | Mar 11, 2026

CDS did an excellent job for us. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

CDS typically covers the standard range of software development work — mobile apps, web platforms, custom internal tools, UI/UX design, cloud infrastructure, AI integrations, and larger enterprise builds. Its core focus areas include Crypto Exchange Development, Enterprise App Modernization, Mobile App Design, App Marketing and Web Development.

CDS has delivered projects across a range of different industries, including Telecommunications, Automotive, Food & Beverage, Travel & Hospitality and Manufacturing.

Generally, yes — companies like CDS tend to work well with startups because of what they typically offer: MVP builds, product strategy input, architecture that can scale later, and dedicated teams that keep costs manageable while still moving fast. For context, its listed capabilities span Crypto Exchange Development, Enterprise App Modernization, Mobile App Design, App Marketing and Web Development, and it has been operating since 1994.

What tends to set CDS apart usually comes down to some mix of technical depth, relevant industry experience, how clients describe working with them, their development approach, communication habits, and whether they can actually deliver something that scales. Founded in 1994, the company has built a track record of delivering projects across various industries.

When you're weighing up a software partner such as CDS, 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, its listed capabilities span Crypto Exchange Development, Enterprise App Modernization, Mobile App Design, App Marketing and Web Development, and it reports a team size of 50 - 249 professionals.

That depends on where CDS 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 Crypto Exchange Development, Enterprise App Modernization, Mobile App Design, App Marketing and Web Development, and it has experience across industries such as Telecommunications, Automotive, Food & Beverage, Travel & Hospitality and Manufacturing.

Usually, yes — a dedicated developer arrangement is a common option with firms like CDS, 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 Telecommunications, Automotive, Food & Beverage, Travel & Hospitality and Manufacturing, and its typical hourly rate is around $100 - $149.

Most professional shops, including CDS, 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, its listed capabilities span Crypto Exchange Development, Enterprise App Modernization, Mobile App Design, App Marketing and Web Development, and it has experience across industries such as Telecommunications, Automotive, Food & Beverage, Travel & Hospitality and Manufacturing.

The most reliable route is giving CDS 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, it has experience across industries such as Telecommunications, Automotive, Food & Beverage, Travel & Hospitality and Manufacturing, and its listed capabilities span Crypto Exchange Development, Enterprise App Modernization, Mobile App Design, App Marketing and Web Development.
