Handed over a codebase our own engineers could read on day one — the documentation was the deliverable, not an afterthought.

A note on whose name is on these
The reviews are in one person's name. The work behind them was always the point.
I started on Upwork in 2016 as one developer with one profile. Over ten years and a hundred-odd contracts, clients left the reviews you can read below — WordPress rebuilds, WooCommerce stores that had to survive a season, SEO recoveries, and eventually apps. That profile is still public, still scored, and I cannot edit a single line of it. That is exactly why it is the first thing we show you.
BuddyDevs is what that practice became: an eight-person studio, senior-only, with the same habit of writing down what we will not do before we start. When you hire us today you get the team — but the standard being held is the one in these reviews, and I still read every project brief that comes in.

Straightforward about what would and would not move the needle. Enquiries were up before the invoice was due.

They inherited a site nobody wanted to touch, documented what was actually happening, and migrated it without a single ranking drop.

The audit paid for itself in the first week — checkout speed alone moved conversion two points.

Design system and WordPress build shipped together, so nothing got lost in translation between Figma and the CMS.
