I am the Growth Manager of daylyy

Describe what your company does in a single sentence.

daylyy is a photo-first social app that emphasizes real-time, unfiltered human connection. It rejects algorithms, AI, filters, and uploads, requiring users to capture moments in the moment using the in-app camera. It’s about authenticity, your real life, shared with real friends, without the curated perfection of modern social media.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The scope of work has grown over time, but the core deliverables included: full app development for iOS and Android, backend architecture, custom UI/UX design, prototyping, and feature iterations based on user feedback. Beyond the build itself, they also helped us with website design, landing page optimization, and a number of growth-related tools. Most recently, we worked with them on infrastructure updates to support rapid scaling, and their team also supported us in pushing out new features like local feeds, random pairing, and content restrictions tied to in-app camera use. The entire daylyy experience is a result of that collaboration!

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The most obvious proof of success is that we have a live app used by tens of thousands of people, and we were able to go from zero to launch much faster than most startups. Our speed to market was insanely quick. Within months, we had a working MVP. Within weeks of our public launch, all user data was migrated, and we had thousands of new downloads and real user engagement. The way they helped us ship features quickly, without sacrificing stability, made a huge difference. Beyond launch, our ability to iterate quickly and retain users has been directly tied to the flexibility of the systems White Hall built for us. Even when we rolled out major pivots like the “local feed” or “Spin the Wheel,” we never felt boxed in technically.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

White Hall operates with a founder’s mindset. Their team was in constant communication with us Cliq, email, calls, whatever we needed. They didn’t just take our specs and build, they questioned things, suggested improvements, and flagged risks early. If something was going to affect delivery, they told us upfront. If we had an urgent ask, they found a way to get it done. Timelines were always transparent. We met multiple times a week, and if something came up last minute (as it often does in startups), they were responsive and fast. It genuinely felt like we had an in-house tech team! 

What was your primary form of communication with White Hall Technologies?

• In-Person Meeting
• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

The most impressive part about White Hall is that they actually care about what you're building. A lot of firms will code what you give them and move on. White Hall challenged that. They’d ask: “Why are you building this feature?” or “Are you sure this is the fastest way to reach product-market fit?” That kind of pushback made our product better. Also, they understood the emotional stakes of building something like daylyy, we weren’t just making an app but rather trying to rebuild how people connect online. They got that! And they show up like partners who are in it with us.

Are there any areas for improvement or something White Hall Technologies could have done differently?

There were a couple of moments early on where we realized we needed to define our non-negotiables more clearly from the jump, things like how strict we wanted to be about in-app camera use. To be fair, White Hall was great at executing whatever we aligned on, but those early product philosophy decisions required some back and forth until we found our rhythm. It wasn’t really a flaw just a reminder that the more clearly we communicated our vision, the more effective they were. Once that alignment clicked, everything moved forward seamlessly!

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We partnered with White Hall Technologies on three major initiatives. First, we redesigned and rebuilt our website to better reflect the quality and legacy of our company, while ensuring it performed well across devices and search engines. Second, we developed a custom enterprise app for project management and client servicing. This app now serves as a central hub for all communication, allowing our team to upload updates, timelines, progress photos, and videos so clients can log in and see how their project is progressing in real time. Lastly, we collaborated with White Hall on a focused digital marketing effort aimed at elevating our presence on LinkedIn. We had little digital activity before, so this was a critical step in modernizing how we communicate with future clients and industry peers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

One of the biggest wins was how quickly we began seeing results both internally and externally. The app has transformed the way we manage client communication. Our project managers are saving time and our clients are better informed, without needing constant calls or check-ins. Internally, we’re seeing smoother workflows. On the digital side, we’ve increased our LinkedIn visibility significantly, with more engagement and brand recognition. The website redesign also gave us a much stronger online presence and has already led to a few new inquiries that found us through search.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

The White Hall team is fast, structured, and communicative. Everything was delivered on schedule, and they kept us looped in without ever overwhelming us. We had standing check-ins that were productive and clear, and any time we had questions, they were quick to respond. What stood out most was how aligned we always felt, they took our business seriously and never made us feel like we were just another job on the board.

What was your primary form of communication with White Hall Technologies?

• In-Person Meeting
• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Their ability to think like a partner, not a vendor, was a big differentiator. We interviewed 4 competitors before working with White Hall and did not see or feel this with any of them. They challenged us to simplify when needed, and to focus on impact instead of overbuilding. That mindset helped us stay efficient without sacrificing quality. The team took time to understand our business, our clients, and our pain points, and they built solutions that feel tailored to how we operate. It’s rare to find a tech team that gets both the human and operational side of a business this well.

Are there any areas for improvement or something White Hall Technologies could have done differently?

If I had to note anything, it would be that their speed sometimes made us realize we weren’t moving fast enough on our end. They were consistently ahead of schedule, which is a good problem, but it required us to be extra dialed in. Overall, that pace pushed us to move quicker, and the results spoke for themselves.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Our inital scope of work included 3 key deliverables. First, we aimed to improve our website and its Google search ranking. A majority of our customers come from word of mouth of a simple google search so we needed to really stand out. Our mission for search rankings was to populate on the first page & top of the page. Secondly, we are building an enterprise app for our customers and marina management. As a customer, this app houses all of the critical information like slip location, travel dates, facility codes, announcements, and more. Finally, we are developing a digital marketing strategy to further our online presence on social media. Utilizing images and information we already have, we are assembling a digital marketing plan for the next spring season - honing in on our voice, look, and feel.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Progress was demonstrated through weekly calls and meetings. Each week, we meet at least twice to discuss progress and updates. Regular meetings ensure progress and allow valuable discussions to occur. We leave the meeting with action items and upon the next meeting, we discuss those specifc items - this kept the momentum of our team and the outcome is success as our direct conversations create the exact outcome we are expecting and discussing.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

Communication is imperative to their team. Items were always delivered on time and as expected. Through regular communication, they eliminated any unexpected outcomes. Austin was incredibly responsive and always responded to our emails or messages within minutes—the incredible customer service at White Hall really made us feel heard and seen at all times.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

I was most impressed by how I was treated at White Hall. It wasn't just extreme customer service that made this team so incredible but it is their ability to act as a true partner during the development process. Nothing about this experience felt transactional, but rather like they took an interest and cared about our company. Austin, Bret, Avi took a great amount of time to understand SAYC so they could refine what we wanted to create. We actually scaled back the project twice - their recommendation isn't to overspend or overbuild, but rather build what is necessary then add when seeing success or feedback.

Are there any areas for improvement or something White Hall Technologies could have done differently?

If anything, I'd say the only challenge was keeping up with how fast their team moves. White Hall is extremely proactive and responsive, which is amazing, but at times we had to make sure we were fully ready on our end to keep pace. It’s a good problem to have, and speaks to how seriously they take timelines and delivery.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We reached out to White Hall for the development of our website after burning hands with few other European developers, the intent was to develop the e commerce website, mobile app and later on we added performance marketing for US region. 

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Our website has been live and we are generating over 2 Mn USD in revenue which is almost 300% growth over our last website. 

US particularly ranked 4th in our global revenue generation until we started working with White Hall's digital team, now we have US as our primary market. 

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

We worked closely with several teams at White Hall, especially our product manager. Since our office is based in North Carolina, it was easy for us to visit their Annapolis location. The in-person meetings made a big difference, particularly when it came to refining the UI/UX and overall development process.

What really stood out about White Hall was their responsiveness — it felt like they never sleep. Communication was always prompt, and that gave us a lot of confidence and peace of mind throughout the project.

Bret and Austin were instrumental in shaping our website and fine-tuning our go-to-market strategy. Their insights and support have been truly invaluable.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impressed me most about White Hall was their ability to blend speed with precision, they moved fast without ever compromising on quality. Their proactive communication and deep understanding of our business made them feel more like a strategic partner than just a development agency. We are still working with them and we prefer to do it for long time. 

Are there any areas for improvement or something White Hall Technologies could have done differently?

Honestly, the overall experience was excellent. If I had to suggest anything, it would be to share more proactive insights or benchmarks from similar projects, they have the expertise, and a few early suggestions on best practices could have helped us make some decisions even faster. But that’s just a minor thing in an otherwise seamless collaboration.
