Solid Web Development Work With Clear Communication Throughout

Tyler Ramirez / Senior Product Manager | Sep 30, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly.

We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

Our company worked with Chess Tag to redesign and rebuild our company website on a modern stack. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. The project took roughly 5 months from kickoff to launch.

Solid Mobile App Development Work With Clear Communication Throughout

Noah Campbell / Co-Founder & CTO | Aug 26, 2026

The project went well overall. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. 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. Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Project summary

Our company worked with Chess Tag 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. We worked together for around 7 months.

Delivered on time and stayed involved after launch

Thabo Dlamini / Co-Founder | Aug 04, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with Chess Tag. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. 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.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing. Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Project summary

We hired Chess Tag to provide ongoing monitoring and support for our cloud infrastructure. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. The project took roughly 6 months from kickoff to launch.

Strong Technical Skills and a Very Responsive IT Consulting Team

Jessica Henderson / CTO | Jun 10, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with Chess Tag. 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. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. Their team changed one developer midway, which slowed things down for a couple of weeks. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

Project summary

We hired Chess Tag to assess our architecture before a major product rebuild. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. The project took roughly 5 months from kickoff to launch.
