Good work overall, with a few bumps along the way

Stephanie Johnson / Managing Director | Oct 10, 2026

We got a good result in the end, but the road there had a few bumps. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far. We had to follow up a few times on smaller bug fixes after launch. Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Project summary

We hired Robots & Pencils to rebuild a slow, outdated web app and move it to a new framework. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. The project took roughly 3 months from kickoff to launch.

Delivered on time and stayed involved after launch

Laura Hoffmann / Engineering Manager | Oct 06, 2026

Our experience with Robots & Pencils was really positive from start to finish. 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. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. I would recommend Robots & Pencils to anyone looking for a dependable Web Development partner.

Professional team that made a complex project feel manageable

Rob Evans / Senior Engineering Manager | Sep 03, 2026

We were happy with the final result. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. 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 AR/VR Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. Their team changed one developer midway, which slowed things down for a couple of weeks.

I would recommend Robots & Pencils to anyone looking for a dependable AR/VR Development partner.

Project summary

Robots & Pencils was brought in to create an interactive 3D showroom for our website. The project was split into milestones, with a working build shared at the end of each one. The engagement ran for about 5 months.

Skilled Web Development Team That Understood Our Business

Khalid Qureshi / IT Director | Aug 18, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. I would recommend Robots & Pencils to anyone looking for a dependable Web Development partner.

Quality work, a little slower than we planned

Ryan Morgan / General Manager | Jun 17, 2026

The final product works well for us, although the process could have been smoother. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things.

Since launch, everything has been stable and our team has adapted to it quickly. There were some early misunderstandings on requirements that took a few rounds to sort out. Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Project summary

Our company worked with Robots & Pencils to build an AR product viewer so customers can preview items in their own space. They also took care of integrations with a couple of third-party tools we already used. We worked together for around 6 months.

Good results, communication improved as the project went on

Sophie Hughes / Co-Founder & CTO | Jun 14, 2026

Overall the project was a success, though it was not without some challenges. 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. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in.

Capable Web Development team — happy with the end result
