Zachary Davis approached us with a vision to make swimming lessons more accessible and organized for both students and instructors. To bring this vision to life, we developed Honu—a seamless mobile application supported by a powerful, feature-rich admin panel.
Mobile App Development, UI/UX Design
Startup
Honu is a purpose-built mobile app designed to simplify the discovery, booking, and management of swimming lessons. With features for parents seeking certified instructors or a coach to manage the sessions, we have included everything the business requires to get started. With the mobile app, we developed a one-stop solution that refined the way swimming lessons are organized and accessed.
We designed and developed a mobile-first solution supported by a robust admin dashboard. The Honu app empowers:
Students can find and book instructors based on their location and the lesson package offerings available.
Instructors to showcase their expertise, manage availability, and track sessions seamlessly.
Users can complete secure, transparent in-app payments for multi-class packages.
Real-time messaging for coordinating session details between students and instructors.
Admins can efficiently manage users, sessions, and payments through an intuitive dashboard.
The platform enables users to search for, connect with, and book certified swimming instructors based on location, availability, and personal preferences.
Students—or their parents—can browse instructor profiles, explore lesson packages, schedule sessions at convenient times, and communicate directly through the app.
For instructors, Honu provides a streamlined platform to showcase services, manage bookings, and efficiently grow their business.
