Project Summary

Daffodil was contracted to implement a 350-page wireframe into a functional website and to develop a React Native mobile app. The vendor delivered a non-functional website, failed to resolve critical bugs, and the engagement ended before the mobile app work began due to extended delays and disputes over cost. The client incurred significant additional costs and nearly lost investors.

Project Solution

Daffodil was contracted to build a website and a React Native mobile app from a 350-page wireframe. The vendor's engagement included a project manager as the main point of contact, two developers and an account manager, with weekly meetings. They were expected to translate the provided wireframes into a functional site within an eight-week timeline but failed to deliver on schedule and did not resolve reported bugs.

Project Outcome

Product was unusable and prevented revenue generation
Project delayed by five months
Client nearly lost investors and incurred approximately $60,000 in additional costs
Client documented ~600 bugs and experienced QA failures
Vendor withheld code until final payment

Quality of Deliverables

“The engagement ended before Daffodil could begin the mobile app because of significant time and financial losses. They lacked honesty regarding deadlines and progress and refused to finish the project for the agreed-upon price. Their developmental failures were detrimental to project viability.”
