Depending on the project and your requirements, we can have a dedicated testing phase with your beta users before launch

Hi, we're Alex & Jack, founders of dotblue.

We started dotblue for one reason - we love building great products.

Within our combined 20+ years developing software, we’ve worked many different companies ranging from blue chips to startups, across a variety of different sectors.

Throughout that time there was one thing we always came back to time and time again - building great, user-friendly products. From requirements gathering to design, through to implementation and release, we have a track record of doing what it takes to get it just right.

For us, being able to work with founders & teams to build their products is a dream job - and we can't wait to join your journey.

Frequently asked questions.

Can you do React Native and/or native mobile development?

We do have experience building both types of mobile applications so for the right project we would consider it, however our main focus is to deliver real quality, which is why we try to stick to one tech stack - web-based React.

Would you consider joining our existing engineering team?

Yes, absolutely. We can augment your existing development teams to help you ramp up and hit deadlines.

How do we communicate throughout the project?

Our preference is to use Slack - as part of the onboarding process we will create a private Slack workspace for us to iron out any finer details & share regular progress updates. Should you already have one, we can join your existing Slack workspace.

Get in touch.

We're ready - are you?
