The Design Log Reviews

Easy to work with and very transparent on timelines and cost

Tobias Fischer / Co-Founder | Sep 26, 2026

Our experience with The Design Log 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 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. Overall, a team we trust and plan to keep working with.

Project summary

The Design Log was brought in to port our game to new platforms and improve performance. The work covered requirements, design, development, testing and launch support. Overall it was a 3-month engagement.

A reliable long-term partner for our tech needs

Carlos Morgan / CTO | Jun 25, 2026

The Design Log did good work for us, and we would use them again. They took the time to understand our business before suggesting anything, which we appreciated after previous agencies jumped straight into building. We dealt with the same core team throughout, so we did not have to keep re-explaining things. Communication was consistent. We had a weekly call, a shared Slack channel and a project board we could check at any time.

The AI & Machine Learning work has already made a noticeable difference — tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. We had to follow up a few times on smaller bug fixes after launch. Happy to recommend them.

Project summary

The Design Log was brought in to automate document data extraction that our team was doing by hand. Their team handled planning, development and QA, with our product owner signing off each milestone. We worked together for around 7 months.
