A one-second delay in website load time can lead to a 7% loss in conversions, 11% fewer page views, and a 16% decrease in customer satisfaction.

A study conducted by Google called “The Speed Update” in July 2018, analysed the impact of page load time on mobile user behaviour and found that even a small delay in website performance can have a significant negative impact on user engagement and business metrics.

I have worked with Focalworks for over 10 years and I can't say enough about this group. A large part of the success of my last two companies can be attributed to Focalworks.

I found their development team to be very knowledgeable, not only in software development but also deployment and infrastructure technologies. Within 5 years of the company's inception, I was able to sell the platform to the world's largest testing company who still uses it to manage the test content for the largest certification programs in the world. During the acquisition process, Focalworks was highlighted as one of the key contributors to the software's success.

After the success I've had with Focalworks, it's doubtful that I'll ever use another software team.

Our team has been working with Focalworks for over a decade after an exhaustive search looking for an offshore partner.

Focalworks was able to staff our projects with qualified professionals and has provided a steady team since. On many occasions when the project need required additional resources, they were able to shift in additional capabilities to complete the tasks on hand. Their level of expertise, responsiveness and professionalism is unsurpassed.

They are always flexible and go beyond the call of duty. I highly recommend the Focalworks team.

M&C Saatchi has been working with Focalworks for close to 7 years now. During this time, they have helped us with several complex website builds, app development and digital/social media campaign materials.

They are always on the ball, highly dedicated bunch of individuals with great talent and problem solving skills. They have consistently added value and come to us with ingenious solutions that have helped us grow our business.

Once they have undertaken a project, we always rest assured that a high quality product will be delivered on time.

It has been a pleasure working with them and I simply cannot recommend them highly enough.

Peloton Document Solutions
Focal works has been much more than an offshore development vendor for Peloton. They have been a true partner in every sense of the word, completely exceeding my expectations.

Focalworks fills the standard development and QA roles for us, but they also add value in many unexpected ways such as providing feedback on our Agile processes and recommendations on how to improve them, providing architecture guidance and proactively looking for ways to improve our automated testing coverage. I can’t speak highly enough about the entire team and recommend them to anyone looking for a rock-solid and professional offshore team.

Choosing to work with Focalworks will be one of the best decisions you ever make, especially if you treat them as a partner instead of just as a pool of resources.
