Strong Technical Skills and a Very Responsive E-commerce Development Team

Yousef Khan / Founder & CEO | Sep 17, 2026

Tighten did an excellent job for us. Their project manager kept things organised and was quick to flag anything that might affect the timeline. 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.

Feedback from our customers has been very positive so far.

We would definitely work with them again.

Project summary

Tighten was brought in to migrate our online store from an older platform to a new one. They worked alongside our in-house team, which mostly handled business requirements and testing. The project took roughly 4 months from kickoff to launch.

What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?
We needed to migrate our online store from an older platform to a new one, and we didn't have the in-house capacity to do it ourselves.
What services did the company provide for your project?
Mainly E-commerce Development. They also helped with the technical planning and a few integrations with our existing tools.

Very responsive. We usually heard back the same day, even with the time difference.
Did the company deliver the project on time and within your expected budget?
Yes, on time and within budget.

Our team saves several hours a week, and we have had very few issues since launch.

Easy to work with and very transparent on timelines and cost

Mark Bennett / Director of IT | Aug 12, 2026

The project went well overall. They were upfront about what was realistic within our budget, which helped us prioritise the right features. The team asked a lot of questions early on, which felt slow at first but meant there were very few surprises later. They shared working builds regularly, so we could test early and give feedback before things were locked in.

It has made a real difference to how our team works day to day. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing.

We are already discussing the next phase with them.

Project summary

Our company worked with Tighten to build a customer portal where clients can log in, track orders and download invoices. Scope included discovery workshops, development in two-week sprints and a short support period after launch. The engagement ran for about 7 months.

Great Experience With Tighten on Our E-commerce Development Project

We were happy with the final result. The developers were knowledgeable and made a few suggestions that ended up saving us time and money.

We are already seeing better numbers than before the project. A couple of milestones slipped by a week or so, mostly around testing. Happy to recommend them.
