What their customers say
Quotes from people at 8th Light's customers.
“People mostly knew us for putting on big art exhibitions, but there is so much more going on, from our diverse Royal Academicians to the work of our students. One of the key things we’ve been trying to do is open the door to all the exciting activity that goes on in the Royal Academy. The updated site is a great step forward in terms of how we’re able to present ourselves and tell stories about what the organization does.”
“We’re very pleased with the software and app product created by 8th Light. The collaborative process was essential to communicating our goals and learning what was indeed possible. I’m thrilled we now have a platform that can grow and expand into the future.”
“8th Light provided clear communication, rationalization of architectural choices, and all around great delivery. The documentation and handoff notes provided at the end of the project were the best I've seen on a technical project.”
“I developed Pain Reprocessing Therapy after finding my own way out of chronic pain, and I've spent years bringing it to patients one at a time. The hard part wasn't the science, it was reach. 8th Light built the platform that finally helped us scale this treatment, and they built it the right way: they sought input from people living with chronic pain and our coaches before designing anything, and they protected the human relationship at the heart of the therapy instead of automating it away. What they delivered stays true to the therapy and the principles behind it.”
“We have been in partnership with 8th Light for several years, and their contribution to our success in the insurance vertical has been invaluable. Their technology expertise and software engineering staffing have enabled us to develop and maintain a range of proprietary applications that have greatly enhanced our operational efficiency and customer service.”

“Creators today need the impossible dream: A tech development firm that understands the mercurial cycles of building something new, across a paradigm shift in consumption from web2 to web3, while dealing with all the vagaries of a market shifting to figure out what’s next. For me, there is no question: 8th Light is that firm.”
“8th Light has provided Cars with incredibly bright, talented, hardworking, and collaborative individuals. These folks have driven and delivered some of our most important and challenging solutions.”
“This new asset pipeline is so much easier for me to deploy, and adding new states to our service no longer raises questions of whether we’ll need to add server horsepower to accommodate the compile process!”
“My goal was to have one application that would be all you need for your travel plans. I think we’ve achieved that.”
“It's a partnership and you know that from day one. They really care and want you to succeed.”
“I wanted to personally thank you again for all of your hard work on ismyivfclinicopen.com. Because of this work during the pandemic, when access to reproductive treatment and care was severely restricted, we had the ability to reach patients who needed access to care and resources. Thank you for making this possible!”
“I have been working with 8th Light since March 2024, and I have had an outstanding experience. Their team has consistently brought expertise and dedication to my project, transforming my vision into a functional and user-friendly platform.”
“8th Light’s team was instrumental in helping us not only find a solution that worked for us, but they helped us implement that solution every step of the way.”
“I often hear comments from supporters that our new site is so bright and engaging, that it really invites you in, and that the boldness of it really reflects the boldness of the work we do.”
“I appreciate how efficiently 8th Light can dive into a tough problem – even one as specific as ski resort Product Catalog metadata! Their engineering and product knowledge are impressive, and they delivered a functional prototype quickly.”
“I really enjoyed working with the entire 8th Light team. I have learned so much and organizationally we're in a much better place than when we started. Thank you for your partnership.”
“I definitely feel like I learned more in those six months of the apprenticeship than I probably had over the previous 2.5 years working on the legacy application. And since I’ve been done with the apprenticeship, it’s just been a much better system for me.”
“The apprenticeship really showed us that we could take people we maybe wouldn’t have taken a chance on before, and we could ramp them up to be successful developers.”
