Solid delivery, though timelines needed some pushing

Emma Chen / Managing Director | Oct 03, 2026

The final product works well for us, although the process could have been smoother. 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 IT Consulting work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. 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 engaged Custom Databases of Seattle to help us choose and plan the rollout of a new core system. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. The project took roughly 4 months from kickoff to launch.

Reliable IT Consulting Partner That Delivered What They Promised

Layla Rahman / Head of Product | Oct 03, 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. 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.

Exceeded our expectations on quality and communication

Pieter Botha / Senior Product Manager | Sep 16, 2026

We were happy with the final result. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. There were some early misunderstandings on requirements that took a few rounds to sort out. We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Dependable Web Development Partner for a Growing Manufacturing Business

Luke Kelly / Owner | Sep 10, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team.

Strong Technical Skills and a Very Responsive Blockchain Development Team

Rachel Graham / Founder & CEO | Jul 10, 2026

Custom Databases of Seattle 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. 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.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. We are already discussing the next phase with them.
