Easy to work with and very transparent on timelines and cost

Hannah Hughes / Owner | Oct 20, 2026

The project went well overall. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. 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. Documentation at handover was a bit thin and we had to ask for more detail. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

Project summary

We engaged Cipher to build firmware and a companion app for a smart device we were launching. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. We worked together for around 2 months.

I work as Owner at Sage Foods Ltd. We operate in Food & Beverage and most of our customers are in and around Reading, UK.

What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?

We had tried to do this internally and it stalled. We needed specialists to build firmware and a companion app for a smart device we were launching.

What services did the company provide for your project?

Mainly IoT Development. They also helped with the technical planning and a few integrations with our existing tools.

Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?

How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?

Well. There were a couple of points we had to clarify early on, but after that they were spot on.

How was your overall experience with their communication and project management?

Very responsive. We usually heard back the same day, even with the time difference.

Did the company deliver the project on time and within your expected budget?

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

What tangible results or business impact have you seen since the project was completed?

It is still early, but the numbers are trending in the right direction and the system has been stable.

What did you like most about working with this company?

Would you recommend this company to others, and would you work with them again?

Yes, I've already recommended them to a couple of people I know.

Delivered on time and stayed involved after launch

Kelly Reed / Director of Technology | Sep 18, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with Cipher. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. 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. Estimates on a few features were optimistic and those took longer than planned.

We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

Cipher was brought in to build a quick MVP on a low-code stack to test our idea. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. The project took roughly 4 months from kickoff to launch.

Capable Game Development team — happy with the end result

Noah Roy / Co-Founder | Aug 13, 2026

The final product works well for us, although the process could have been smoother. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. 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.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. We had to follow up a few times on smaller bug fixes after launch.

We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

Our company worked with Cipher to develop a casual mobile game from concept to launch. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. Overall it was a 5-month engagement.

Skilled Web Development Team That Understood Our Business

Huda Al Zahrani / Founder & CEO | Aug 08, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. 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. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money.

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

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

Good value and a team that genuinely cares about the result

Hannah Barker / Head of Engineering | May 21, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. 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.

The Web Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

Strong Technical Skills and a Very Responsive IT Managed Services Team

Matt MacDonald / Director of Technology | May 04, 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. 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.
