Software Next Door Delivered a Quality UI/UX Design Solution on Time

Derek Patel / Director of IT | Sep 02, 2026

Our experience with Software Next Door was really positive from start to finish. 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.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project.

We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

We hired Software Next Door to run user research and create new designs for our mobile app. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. Overall it was a 3-month engagement.

Easy to work with and very transparent on timelines and cost

Maria Coleman / Managing Director | Aug 24, 2026

Honestly, this was one of the smoothest projects we have run with an outside team. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time. 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.

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

Project summary

We engaged Software Next Door to connect our equipment to a cloud dashboard so we could monitor it remotely. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. The engagement ran for about 4 months.

Solid Low-Code / No-Code Development Work With Clear Communication Throughout

Jonas Weber / Engineering Manager | Aug 23, 2026

Overall we had a good experience working with Software Next Door. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. 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 developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money.

We launched on schedule and have not had any major issues since. Their team changed one developer midway, which slowed things down for a couple of weeks. Happy to recommend them.

Professional team that made a complex project feel manageable

Chris Foster / Program Manager | Aug 18, 2026

We were very happy with how this project went. 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. 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. I would recommend Software Next Door to anyone looking for a dependable Web Development partner.

Solid delivery, though timelines needed some pushing

Harry Ahmed / Co-Founder | Aug 16, 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. 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. Their team changed one developer midway, which slowed things down for a couple of weeks. If you need a team that communicates well and delivers, they are a good choice.

I would rate this engagement highly on almost every front. Even with the time zone difference, responses usually came the same day and we never felt left in the dark. Communication was consistent.

Good results, communication improved as the project went on

Rachel Ramirez / Engineering Manager | Mar 11, 2026

We got a good result in the end, but the road there had a few bumps. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building.

The Low-Code / No-Code Development work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes.
