What our clients say about us

In working with third-party contractors, I've never had as good an experience as I had working with Dogtown Media. Even in my own internal teams, I had a startup that I created that grew to 300 people that we sold off to Getty Images. It was the largest acquisition in our industry ever, and I never had an experience working with teams like Dogtown. That's really how good they are.
CEO of a Photography Sharing Service
I just love how real and honest Dogtown Media is. I find that in the world of tech people, many people are competing against each other and you don't know who's being genuine and who's not. I think with them it's refreshing to sit down and have a conversation and know that it's a trusted space and they'll give you feedback from all their experience. They look out for your best interest, and they're not just trying to take your money. There were certain things I was thinking about doing in the app, and they would say they didn't think it was necessary. It would have cost too much. I didn't find that with any other company that I spoke to. I'm a huge communicator, and I think it's disrespectful when people don't get back to you in a timely manner. I love that about them.
Meredith K. “Founder” Mommy Dearest
They were very consistent in their communication and checking in, whereas other bidders are interested in the project, but they don't really follow up as much. I appreciated the follow-up. They're very professional, but at the same time, you feel comfortable communicating with them. That's something that I find very unique. Some people explain things to you and it's very techy even though you told them you weren’t a techy person. Dogtown Media explained it to me in a language that I could understand, and so I was able to collaborate with them and be helpful. I appreciate that they're very sensitive to that.
Christine C. “President” When Georgia Smiled Foundation
We’ve shown people our prototype, the mockup of the sites, and all the design that Dogtown has done. I honestly have not gotten a single criticism about their design. I have a lot of friends who are in the UX/UI world and a lot of friends who are in the coding world. I can confirm that Dogtown Media’s work is world-class and top-notch. To me, that’s been the biggest thing. Beyond that, they continue to meet and exceed deadlines, and they continue to come in under budget.
Mousa H. “CTO” Emntr
Due to the privacy of the project, I can't share many technical details, but Dogtown Media basically developed a mobile platform from scratch, including software and hardware, based on a hunch I had of how to go about it. Within a few weeks, they were able to come up with a solution and develop a visual search and augmented reality software. Although it was considered technically impossible, their team was able to solve the problem and scale it up very quickly.
Josh Lehman “CTO” Innovengine
The intent was to create an app that soldiers could use to configure their Nerv Centr SharePack lithium-ion battery and power management system… They created an intuitive and aesthetically pleasing design that matches our brand identity, which we pride on being strong and recognizable...They developed the app for Android and optimized it for Galaxy S5 and Note 5 devices. However, the app will have springs to make it compatible with other Android devices. Their work exceeded my expectations and was much less expensive than I anticipated.
Parker D. “Project Manager” Revision Military
"I appreciated their flexibility and responsiveness to our changing needs"

Dogtown Media created iPhone, iPad, Android phone, and Android tablet designs for a new instructor experience in our existing mobile apps. We researched companies that were well-respected in mobile design and development. We spoke with four companies about the project, received bids, and narrowed down our selection to Dogtown Media. Ultimately, we chose them because the quality of their portfolio was equal if not better than other companies’ work, and the price and timeline they quoted were much more reasonable.

5/5 Stars
Although we’re one of the nation’s largest healthcare organizations, we’ve never had a mobile app. Our program realized that the 40 hospitals that send us patients have been using hard copy protocol sheets for nearly 15 years. This practice required my predecessors to constantly replace those materials whenever our admitting protocols changed. We decided that a mobile app was the ideal alternative. They provided a personal experience, giving me their cell numbers. I appreciated that I could call or email any time; I didn’t need to use an 800 number or submit an online query. Our relationship, especially for a tech novice like myself, was very gratifying.
Mark E. “Director of Cardiovascular Emergencies Program” Minneapolis Heart Institute
Dogtown Media developed a solution for a project considered impossible to do in the tech world.
Josh Innovengine
Dogtown’s feedback and help has been invaluable. They're collaborative and truly want to be our partner.
Corinne Worldwide Breast Cancer
Their work has made my life easier by automating features in the app that I was doing manually.
George University of Oklahoma
Their work exceeded my expectations and was much less expensive than I anticipated.
