Skilled E-commerce Development Team That Understood Our Business

Lotte Smit / Product Manager | Oct 09, 2026

Octane Design did an excellent job for us. 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. 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.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

We hired Octane Design to build a Shopify store with custom features for our product range. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. Overall it was a 5-month engagement.

Honest advice and solid execution

Pieter Nkosi / Senior Product Manager | Sep 03, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. 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. I would recommend Octane Design to anyone looking for a dependable E-commerce Development partner.

Exceeded our expectations on quality and communication

Niamh O'Connor / Founder & CEO | Aug 12, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

Would happily work with them again

Nicole Price / Senior Product Manager | Jul 24, 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. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since. We would definitely work with them again.
