Strong Technical Skills and a Very Responsive Mobile App Development Team

Thabo Naidoo / Director | Oct 12, 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. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features.

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

Project summary

We engaged Digital Stairway to build iOS and Android apps for our customers, including booking, payments and push notifications. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. Overall it was a 9-month engagement.

Easy to work with and very transparent on timelines and cost

Ben Doyle / Founder | Oct 02, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with Digital Stairway. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. 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.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. There were some early misunderstandings on requirements that took a few rounds to sort out. We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

We hired Digital Stairway to add an AI chatbot to our support site that answers questions from our help docs. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. We worked together for around 4 months.

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.

Professional team that made a complex project feel manageable

Matt Tremblay / IT Manager | Jun 16, 2026

Our experience with Digital Stairway was really positive from start to finish. 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.

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

Skilled Web Development Team That Understood Our Business

Julie Campbell / Engineering Manager | Jun 11, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.
