WLCM has been more than just a developer. They believe in our business, care about our success, and invest their heart and soul into our projects. I've honestly never had an agency relationship like this.
The WLCM team sets the bar for project management and communication. They provide so much transparency into the project. They communicate regularly and proactively. They are also incredibly responsive. In the very few times that there have been issues or delays, they are highly engaged and proactive.
WLCM has been more than just a developer. They believe in our business, care about our success, and invest their heart and soul into our projects. I've honestly never had an agency relationship like this. My investors beg me to bring technology in house, but I don't want or need to. I have everything I need- trust, capability, responsibility, and passion in WLCM. I couldn't ask for anything more.

You’ve gone beyond just executing the work.
Anna [Project Manager]: Your dedication, focus, and consideration in second to none. Your level of experience, expertise, and having a very profound consideration for how our audience uses the platform has been invaluable to me as we work on, and make strategic choices for, our product.
Technical team: All of you have a had profound influence over this product as you’ve gone beyond just executing the work. You’ve helped me make informed choices of choosing the right tech stack, identifying improved usability on the platform that benefits our members, and are constantly looking at ways in which the product’s admin dashboard can benefit our internal team.
Lindsey: You’ve stepped in as my advisor, mentor, and partner in this work... thank you.

My vision was in excellent hands, and the finished product far exceeded my expectations. I cannot say enough about WLCM.
WLCM is an exceptional app development partner, and I do mean partner; they go above and beyond at every stage of the process, from ideation to design to development to launch.
Lindsey treated my app as she would her own from day one. She gave me honest, open feedback during the building period that was instrumental in making key decisions for a seamless user experience. WLCM worked tirelessly throughout the development process, and my app was so beautifully designed and well executed that our issues on launch day were practically zero. WLCM was always very responsive, endlessly enthusiastic and supportive, and the loveliest people to work with on top of it. I cannot say enough about both the quality of work and the quality of character you’ll find with WLCM.

Amazing work, as ALWAYS, keeping everything on track, communicating so well and delivering perfectly on time.
The product is fantastic. Everyone has done such great work. I can see how much work [the developers] have put into such an intuitive tool. I was getting butterflies and big grins every click! It was so easy to use.
[To our Project Manager], amazing work, as ALWAYS, keeping everything on track, communicating so well and delivering perfectly on time.
It's always wonderful working with this team and I am always so pleasantly surprised when I know we all have a clear understanding of the goal of a feature and I get to see great interpretations and implementations that I never would've come up with had I been forced to! Great to work with a skilled and thoughtful team.

Her general intelligence, emotional intelligence, and curiosity makes Lindsey one of the best people I’ve ever worked with on a creative project.
Lindsey is a product genius that likes to get things done. Her general intelligence, emotional intelligence, and curiosity makes her one of the best people I’ve ever worked with on a creative project. She took my vision of the future and turned it into a product — first as a prototype that enabled me to raise investment money, and now an MVP (Minimal Viable Product) that we are taking to the market.
Not only is this high quality product work that we are getting (even by my Silicon Valley standards), but the professionalism of herself and her team make working with Lindsey and WLCM a delight.

WLCM JOY LABS
We envision and build our own apps through “WLCM Joy Labs” – a container in which we can continually experiment, learn, and grow as a firm, and above all, keep ourselves in our clients’ shoes.
We’ve just launched our first of hopefully many non-profit apps for kids. It’s called, “Who Farted?!” and it’s got an Emmy Award-winning cast including Mandy Patinkin, and you don’t want to miss it. Get your very own copy for a whopping $0 for iPhone or Android.
Our next project is invite-only social commerce: That Thing I Told You About (TYA), a place to make and share your lists of favorites – and to find new ones. If you’re someone who needs to buy things sometimes, this one’s for you (and your people). Watch this space!
