Founder & MD, Appy Ventures Farnham, Surrey, UKGreat to work with such a professional team. I've worked with many development teams over the past 2 years but Jelvix had by far the most proactive communication style and the quality of output. They met the timeline, delivered code after each weekly sprint and generally impressed us.
