A reliable long-term partner for our tech needs

Sanne Jansen / CEO | Oct 05, 2026

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

The result looks great and performs well, and our internal team found it easy to take over.

I would recommend Glitterbug to anyone looking for a dependable CRM Development partner.

Project summary

We hired Glitterbug to build custom CRM modules for how our sales process actually works. Scope included discovery workshops, development in two-week sprints and a short support period after launch. Overall it was a 3-month engagement.

Skilled Web Development Team That Understood Our Business

Siddharth Iyer / Co-Founder | Aug 30, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with Glitterbug. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. 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.

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. Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

We partnered with Glitterbug to redesign and rebuild our company website on a modern stack. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. Overall it was a 2-month engagement.
