stunning artwork
I want to say a huge thank you to the beautiful and hardworking Lills & Dan, who created the most amazing website for me! 🙌✨ I kept changing things (probably a hundred times 😅) and they supported me every single step of the way. They treated me not just like a client, but like their most precious one , with so much care, patience and genuine professionalism. The amount of work, love and artistry they put into my site is beyond anything I could have imagined. From the stunning artwork to the thoughtful research and handpicked pictures, everything was done with such authenticity and class. They truly turned it into a top-class website that I’m incredibly proud of! 💻💎
amazing to work with
Daniel and Lily at The Social Bay were amazing to work with. They built our Yum Street website from start to finish, and every step of the way they were approachable, friendly, and incredibly responsive. Their professionalism and attention to detail made the whole process easy and enjoyable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a talented and reliable team!
incredibly grateful
I am incredibly grateful for the support and expertise Lily and Dan offered throughout creating my new website! So much patience and flexibility throughout, and just generally great people to work with! If you’re looking for any kind of website support, these guys are your go to!
Really well done guys. Thank you so much.
I typically find people leave reviews when things are bad, but I really wanted to shout The Social Bay today. Not sure where to begin. I first spoke to Dan when I wanted a landing page, along with about 3 or 4 other people, before deciding to do the work myself, boy was that harder than I imagined. Of all the people I initially spoke to, I liked Dan the most. He seemed to know what he was talking about, he was friendly and he was chill. So when I acknowledged I couldn't do it myself, I didn't hesitate to reach out to him, and I'm really glad I did. He was knowledgeable, he was friendly, but moreover, the service was great. He communicated often, explained things that I didn't understand and went above and beyond for me, and not only did he not complain, but he enjoyed doing it. He and Lily have designed a landing page that I'm over the moon about. I love the design and the flow. They listened to what I wanted and even understood what I wanted when I wasn't really sure myself. Seriously
