Strong Technical Skills and a Very Responsive DevOps Services Team

Mark Sullivan / IT Manager | Oct 08, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with Dots Advertising. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

The result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over. 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 engaged Dots Advertising to improve our release process, which involved a lot of manual steps. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. The project took roughly 4 months from kickoff to launch.

We're a mid-sized Media & Entertainment company based in Portland, USA. I'm the IT Manager and I oversaw the project from start to finish.
What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?
Our existing setup was holding us back. We wanted to improve our release process, which involved a lot of manual steps before our busy season.
What services did the company provide for your project?
Mainly DevOps Services. 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?
A colleague recommended them, and our first calls confirmed they understood what we needed.

Communication was good overall and improved further once we settled into a routine.
Did the company deliver the project on time and within your expected budget?
Yes. The only extra cost came from features we added ourselves, and they quoted those fairly.

Good work overall, with a few bumps along the way

Nicole Hayes / Managing Director | Jul 24, 2026

We got a good result in the end, but the road there had a few bumps. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. 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 took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.

The Blockchain Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. Documentation at handover was a bit thin and we had to ask for more detail. We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

We hired Dots Advertising to build a supply chain traceability prototype on a permissioned blockchain. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. We worked together for around 9 months.

Delivered on time and stayed involved after launch

Harsh Agarwal / Director | Jul 12, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. 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.

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

We are already discussing the next phase with them.

We were happy with the final result. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What Dots Advertising charges comes down to a handful of variables — how complex the project is, the number of development hours involved, the tech stack required, team size, and which engagement model you pick. Based on available data, Dots Advertising's typical hourly rate is around $100 - $149.

What tends to set Dots Advertising 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 2001, the company has built a track record of delivering projects across various industries.

Like most established software teams, Dots Advertising typically sticks around post-launch for ongoing maintenance — bug fixes, performance tuning, security patching, new feature work, and general technical support. For context, its listed capabilities span Mobile App Design, VR App Development, Web Development and Mobile App Development, and its typical hourly rate is around $100 - $149.

Most businesses reach Dots Advertising through its website, a direct email, or a contact form — any of which works for discussing what you need, booking an initial conversation, or asking for a rough estimate. For context, it has experience across industries such as Information Technology, Energy & Utilities, Healthcare, Real Estate, Automotive and Education, and its listed capabilities span Mobile App Design, VR App Development, Web Development and Mobile App Development.

When you're weighing up a software partner such as Dots Advertising, 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 Mobile App Design, VR App Development, Web Development and Mobile App Development, and its typical hourly rate is around $100 - $149.

Usually, yes — a dedicated developer arrangement is a common option with firms like Dots Advertising, 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 Information Technology, Energy & Utilities, Healthcare, Real Estate, Automotive and Education, and its listed capabilities span Mobile App Design, VR App Development, Web Development and Mobile App Development.

It's a common line of work for a company like Dots Advertising — multi-tenant architecture, subscription billing hooked up properly, and cloud-native deployment built for a product meant to scale as a service rather than a one-off build. For context, it has experience across industries such as Information Technology, Energy & Utilities, Healthcare, Real Estate, Automotive and Education, and its typical hourly rate is around $100 - $149.

Modernizing legacy software is usually within scope for a firm like Dots Advertising — re-platforming, refactoring old code, and moving things onto current frameworks or cloud infrastructure without necessarily rebuilding everything from zero. For context, it has experience across industries such as Information Technology, Energy & Utilities, Healthcare, Real Estate, Automotive and Education, and it has been operating since 2001.

The most reliable route is giving Dots Advertising 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, its listed capabilities span Mobile App Design, VR App Development, Web Development and Mobile App Development, and it reports a team size of 2 - 9 professionals.
