Scalable Web Platform & Continuous QA for Dukes of Daisy

The Challenge

Dukes of Daisy operates a fast-growing “rent-a-friend” platform connecting companions with clients across the UK and USA.

As membership expanded, the existing website struggled with:

  • Slow page loads and inconsistent user experience on mobile devices.

  • Limited booking functionality and manual payment processes.

  • Security vulnerabilities that needed to be addressed to protect sensitive member data.

  • Difficulty scaling to handle spikes in traffic and new feature requests.

Founder Daisy Lain needed a partner who could rebuild the platform from the ground up—delivering a secure, scalable, and user-friendly experience while ensuring continuous quality control.
