Read more about usWhen it comes to out-sourcing and partnering with a technology vendor, Rocket Lab is top of mind. Julien, Jen and the team are incredibly detailed and thorough whenever they’re engaged in a project. And, they do so at velocity. For Superloop, they have delivered some of the biggest, and highest profile projects that we have done in the last 12 months. I look forward to our continued relationship and what we can continue to achieve in the future.
We had the pleasure of working with Rocket Lab team for the development and launch of the Lasoo.com.au website and app. With a tight launch timeline to comply with, Julien assigned 4 talented front end engineers with the appropriate skillsets to help us get both the app and website across the finish line on time. The guys worked together very well with our internal resources and blended into our process seamlessly. We were very impressed with the level of skill from each of the engineers, while their teamwork, professionalism and dedication was exceptional.
Rocket Lab's ability to help define and execute our business through software in a timely fashion, has been a breath of fresh air and a pleasure to work with. They guided us through the launch of our MVP and due to their expertise in developing web & app products, our business has been going from strength to strength!
Julien and his team are a real pleasure to work with. They are well rounded with a solid understanding of design/user experience best practices as well as diving deep under the hood with solid web and app development capabilities. Don't think twice about working with this super responsive crew of forward thinkers :)
We have a long standing partnership with Rocket Lab who provide Webjet with critical strategic and development services for our front-end websites. The partnership has grown over the years and we are delighted with the innovation and output we continue to receive from the team.
Rocket Lab has been one of James Hardie’s digital partners for the past 12 years. This tenure is a testament of their customer centric approach, technical nous and all round ‘nothing’s a problem’ attitude. Over the years Rocket Lab have seamlessly integrated with James Hardie in delivering a number of key projects for the business that to this day continue to be critical to the success and functionality of our operations.
Rocket Lab helped digitally transform our business by moving from our initial MVP website/platform built in India to a scalable website and architecture built on the latest JS tech stack. Our business has hundreds of suppliers and thousands of customers so we needed a highly robust structure and that’s exactly what was delivered by Julien, Jen and the RL development team. The bonus was that they were great to work with! We strongly recommend them for your web & app development needs.
Aunty Grace has worked with RocketLab for several years, starting with the initial design and development of our website. Their team delivered a site that met our expectations, and they've continued to assist us in refining and enhancing it over time. They are dedicated, creative, and technically skilled, helping to ensure our website looks good and functions smoothly.
The cost of mobile app development in Australia will vary based on your requirements.
The average cost to build a mobile app in Australia is anywhere from $100,000 to $300,000. The exact cost will vary based on the design, features, integrations and backend capabilities. The location of the team will also impact costs. The salaries of app developers in Australia are at an all time high. This explains why most local companies like ourselves will be more expensive than the competition. Make sure to check where the software development is located as it is not uncommon to see companies charging local rate when the team is actually overseas.
Before getting a quote to build a mobile app, we strongly recommend going through a discovery phase where the wireframes, user stories and overall UX & UI design are defined clearly.
