Bad Dinosaur took the time to understand our mission upfront and translated that into a technical design that could help us test our hypothesis with real customers quickly. At the first co-design meeting, it was great to see the service taking shape at this milestone and it was a good opportunity to reassess the direction and priority of work still to be done with the time we had left. In the co-design process it could be frustrating at times not to be involved with all the discussions that take place when building a product like this, as ordinarily I'd be very close to the team and technical/UX discussions - that way you understand the t...

The thing that in my mind sets Bad Dinosaur apart from other companies is their use of MVPs and rapid prototyping. Most web agencies, freelancers and small software houses will get a brief and build a full product with a huge number of features and functionality that is not needed. Bad Dinosaur took the time to digest my ideas, thoughts, wireframes and deliver an MVP that added value to the client and my business. I believe Bad Dinosaur are tackling a problem I've experienced on 100's of web-based projects over my 11-year digital career. The team also helped me win my first paying customer by building the prototype and delivering an excell...

I've been working with Bad Dinosaur for just over a year and I can highly recommend their services! My project is a start-up app providing budgeting tools for property buyers and investors. I spent over 12 months developing (what turned out to be) a concept website myself but this endeavour soon stretched my programming and algorithmic skills beyond their limits! I shelved the whole thing for about six months but thankfully decided to pick it up again, this time accepting that I needed specialist support. Enter Bad Dinosaur! I talked with a number of developers before opting for Bad Dinosaur. Knowing that some of the logic and algorithms...

Then Bad Dinosaur built me Fitbizzle and it has changed my life. Simplified everything and saved me so much admin time. Would highly recommend to any small business.

I approached Bad Dino early in 2023, in search of a development team to bring life to a property budgeting concept which was conceived a number of years earlier but which had slowed to a standstill due to the inherent complexities in its design (having exceeded the capabilities of its founder!). Among many important criteria when selecting a company to develop the Budgerty platform was a passion for the concept itself and a demonstrated ability to process complex background logic behind user-friendly interfaces. The result today is a beautifully presented interactive set of analytical tools in Budgerty's first online production release, fa...
