Overview
Shaped Trellis into a secure invite-only professional community platform exclusively for women, achieving 85% monthly active retention and 4.2x weekly engagement versus traditional professional networks. A trusted space for authentic career and business conversations was built at scale — with full moderation, privacy controls, and community governance.
The Challenge
Women lacked a dedicated professional platform for sensitive career and business conversations — open networks created social risk and noise that prevented authentic peer support and honest professional discourse in a trusted environment.
Existing platforms lacked the granular community structures, moderation tools, and invite-only access controls needed to create focused, safe professional spaces — maintaining quality, trust, and relevance at scale was effectively impossible.
Solution
Built a secure invite-only platform with identity verification and admin-managed invitation flows — ensuring a trusted, controlled environment for professional discourse from day one.
Developed an admin-managed community structure with granular permissions, content moderation workflows, and trending algorithms surfacing relevant conversations whilst maintaining safety and quality standards.
Created cross-platform iOS and Android applications with intuitive onboarding, skills taxonomy, nested commenting, reactions, and personalised content recommendations based on engagement patterns.
Built a privacy-focused messaging infrastructure with user-controlled data sharing preferences — enabling one-to-one and private group communication whilst maintaining full control over personal information.

Client Testimonial
"I approached Hatim with an idea and a vision: to create a professional social platform designed specifically for women—a safe, empowering space for asking questions, building connections, supporting one another, and fostering growth. From the moment I shared my concept, Hatim listened intently, understood my goals, and introduced me to the incredible team at Siya Tech. The Siya Tech team has been nothing short of outstanding—responsive, innovative, and committed to bringing my vision to life.
