Good value and a team that genuinely cares about the result

Ananya Agarwal / CEO | Oct 06, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later.

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

We partnered with Essence Tech Labs to rebuild a slow, outdated web app and move it to a new framework. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. Overall it was a 8-month engagement.

Solid Cloud Services Work With Clear Communication Throughout

Noah Tremblay / Founder | Sep 18, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. 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.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. We would definitely work with them again.

Delivered on time and stayed involved after launch

Our experience with Essence Tech Labs was really positive from start to finish. Communication was consistent.

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.
