You won't find a bigger portfolio.

I was an absolute novice when it came to building an app over a year ago. I found Bad Dinosaur and instantly fell in love with the name. Once I had used their services and met the team, it was not long before I fell in love with the company too. There has always been someone on hand to explain the more technical things and importantly, the team has a very design-led approach which was extremely important to me as I was designing an app that needed to be cheerful and happy as well as functional. Today we have the trundl app and we are very proud of what Bad Dinosaur as our developers have helped us achieve for our members.

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 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...
