Quality work, a little slower than we planned

Nicole Morgan / Chief Digital Officer | Sep 30, 2026

We got a good result in the end, but the road there had a few bumps. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing.

We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

We engaged Hornet Marketing to rebuild a slow, outdated web app and move it to a new framework. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. Overall it was a 5-month engagement.

Professional Game Development Team, Smooth Delivery From Start to Finish

Bec Stewart / Owner | Jun 11, 2026

Our experience with Hornet Marketing was really positive from start to finish. 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. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. 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.

We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

We hired Hornet Marketing to port our game to new platforms and improve performance. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. Overall it was a 3-month engagement.

Dependable Web Development Partner for a Growing Mining & Metals Business

Kavya Menon / IT Manager | Feb 24, 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. 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.

The Web Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes.

Happy to recommend them.
