Sidebench Executive Interview

We are extremely unique in this way. This is how we have been successful in building everything from apps that reach millions of users, to internal “corporate innovation” platforms that generate millions of dollars in profitability, to systems that fundamentally change how the government makes decisions.
These days, almost all new products must support both iOS and Android. iOS is more important domestically, Android more important internationally, but you'll always miss out on potential users unless you build for both.
If however, a project only had access to Javascript developers, and the project did not involve a very resource-heavy solution (like a game), there is a good chance a React Native hybrid solution might be suggested. This would also have the advantage of enabling development for both Android and iOS simultaneously (not quite, but much closer to that) than individually/separately.

iOS Mobile App Dev & Design for Health & Fitness Program
Review Summary
They offer a thorough and organized process, but what’s truly notable is their creativity. Everyone’s input is extremely valuable and it helps keep me on-task. Communicating with developers is often frustrating, but that was never the case here. They're a young and exciting team with a fresh perspective. They have a really good pulse of current markets and strategies; they're a talented group of people.

Design Strategy & Universal Design Workshops
Review Summary
Our needs are unique among Sidebench’s clients, as they’re not developing technology for us. They provide insight into the way designers and developers think and are ultimately responsible for creating the educational components of the workshop. We want to make sure we speak to the tech community in the best way possible, so Sidebench delivers more content and better outreach. Their insight is strong, and they’re great to work with.

Review Summary
Professional, skilled, and efficient!
Review Summary
The entire experience working with Sidebench was a dream come true. They were attentive to our needs, and took our ideas and transformed them into the website that we always wanted and needed! We definitely recommend them to anyone considering outsourcing their web development/design projects.
What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?
<p>We share the same attention to detail - which is hard to come by. They were thourough and made sure to take the time to get everything right the first time.</p>

Sidebench Studios delivered exactly what we wanted
Review Summary
With the launch of a brand new title, we wanted to design and build a mobile responsive website that captures our unique brand and mimics the sensory experience of its readers. Some of the challenges were that we also needed to leave room for extensive growth, e-commerce, and a few more capabilities that we just weren't quite ready to utilize at the launch of the new site. Sidebench Studios delivered exactly what we wanted: a beautiful, fluid, and functional website that is mobile responsive and gives us the ability to manage changes/growth in-house while keeping the door open for future e-commerce capabilities. I cannot speak highly enough of the skill and professionalism of their team, open communication throughout, including handling new requests seamlessly, and completing this project on time and within budget. This hasn't always been my experience when outsourcing similar projects. I would highly recommend Sidebench Studios for any interactive web design and developmental projects, e-commerce fixes and additions, mobile optimization, and other related needs.
What is it about the company that you appreciate the most?
<p>- Excellent communication and understanding of client's needs. - Fulfillment of expectations on-time and within budget.</p>
