A roadmap defined priorities, from user experience to scalability, providing a solid foundation for the app’s development.

The design phase introduced wireframes and clickable prototypes built in Figma.

These visual drafts evolved with client input, transforming into polished interfaces that felt professional and user-friendly. Each iteration focused on addressing the specific needs of both clients and beauty professionals.

Development steps:

  • Integrated secure payment systems
  • Built with Bubble platform
  • Added detailed admin tools
  • Verified identities with Veriff
  • Simplified notification setup

Building the app came next, utilizing Bubble.io to bring designs into a functioning platform. Whether adding extensive admin controls or connecting third-party tools like Stripe and Twilio, every detail worked to enhance usability without overcomplication.

Meanwhile, robust testing processes allowed multiple user flows to operate smoothly together, avoiding common bottlenecks.

Finally, the app was launched to initial users, who provided valuable insights. Feedback shaped final adjustments, ensuring Swans delivered on its promise—safety, simplicity, and a market-ready solution that worked effortlessly for all.

The Challenge

Swans had a mission that mattered. They wanted to create a trusted space for high-profile clients, including celebrities, to connect with beauty professionals.

Unfortunately, the existing process of finding and booking skilled artists felt chaotic, uncertain, and far from secure. Clients needed more than just talent—they sought trustworthiness, privacy, and convenience all rolled into one reliable solution.

On the other side, beauty experts were struggling too.

They lacked a professional platform to showcase their talents while building meaningful connections with clients. With concerns about safety and credibility hanging in the air, both groups faced the same question—how can we make this easier and safer?

This wasn't about cutting costs or racing against the clock. Instead, the focus remained firmly on designing an experience that felt effortless yet dependable. Whether someone was in their hometown or halfway across the globe, the solution needed to deliver consistent access to services, strong verification measures, and a seamless user interface for all.

Crafting this kind of platform brought its own set of challenges, but Swans knew it was worth solving.

The Idea

Swans

September 2024
USA

Swans was developed on Bubble.io to revolutionize the premium beauty industry by providing a convenient and reliable marketplace for clients and artists. The no-code development platform allowed for a quicker turnaround time and a flexible foundation for future growth.

Swans wanted more than just another app; they envisioned a tool that could serve as a bridge for clients and artists alike. They aimed for something that didn’t just connect people but made every interaction feel effortless and professional.

Imagine a system where someone could book a trusted beauty expert with the click of a button, all while ensuring privacy and security. That dream is what shaped their vision.

They outlined a clear goal—develop a platform where everything worked seamlessly for everyone involved. Clients would gain access to an intuitive interface allowing them to book services or invite selected artists directly. Meanwhile, beauty professionals would finally have the tools to manage their portfolios, set pricing, and showcase their availability.

The main vision was:

  • Accessible admin panel

  • Easy communication tools

  • Secure identity verification

  • Professional design focus

  • Scalable for new markets

Each detail of this idea revolved around making sure the app was more than functional—it had to provide a truly tailored experience, one that accommodated both ends of the spectrum.

Services needed to be robust yet simple, offering features tailored for different users, whether managing travel dates or tracking orders. Swans dreamed big and set out to create something that could evolve and grow without compromising ease of use.
