Steve and Don and their team were awesome partners. They know their stuff, delivered a complex product with absolutely zero technical bugs across tens of thousands of downloads, and always felt like they were one with us. Can’t say enough good things about them. Oh yeah…they’re also great people.
I've known and worked with Steve over at 8Bit for years. They are great guys who care about doing the best work for their clients. They really take the time to understand the business need and always deliver stellar work. If you want a creative, reliable partner they are the team for you.
