In the digital age, social media platforms are keeping humans connected. It’s where we share what matters most to us. And at Big Human, we know what it takes to make a platform truly stand out. Here, we focus on reliable, fast, intuitive and engaging solutions.
Vine
Redefining the creative video experience
At Big Human, nothing here is generic. Everything is custom-built from the ground up by a team of experts who know how to tailor their approach to bring big ideas to life.
Your platform isn’t just a place for posting — it’s a system for connection, discovery, and interaction. With every tiny detail in the mix, we build comprehensive systems to design and develop platforms that people enjoy coming back to.
Illustration & Iconography
How your brand shows up is representative of who you are; and your interface should accurately reflect this. At Big Human, we keep your layouts clean, compelling and on-brand with custom iconography and illustrations that push the limit on what it means to stand out from the crowd.
Intuitive Interface & Design
Frontends matter because your users do. If they’re frustrated with how your interface functions, you’ll lose them before they really get to see what you’re about. Our team builds intuitive, responsive, fast-loading designs that users can navigate with ease and curiosity.
Social media platforms are powerful tools for scaling when the users are satisfied enough to keep coming back. That’s why we build with the future in mind — always. We design features that are made to scale without compromising on the user’s experience.
Multi-tenant architecture is what makes the behind-the-scenes systems work. That’s why our team builds custom backends that support your website’s growth as your user base expands.
On social platforms, too much downtime can be dangerous. It disrupts natural engagement and erodes trust over time. Cloud-based data management helps us spend less time managing infrastructure and more time improving the user experience.
Fast and responsive trumps all. At Big Human, we move in real time with the user in mind. Our custom delivery and management systems help us mitigate any traces of lag, slow loading times, or frustrating delays so that your users can spend more time on the important stuff.
APIs and backend systems are the foundation upon which most modern platforms function. At Big Human, we understand that backend systems drive front-end results. Plus, because no two systems are alike, we know how to choose and integrate the systems that make the most sense for your own unique needs.
The journey to launch is sacred. That’s why Big Human carries you through from strategy to execution, with no detail (no matter how small) left behind.
First, we strategize. This stage focuses on understanding who you are and what you want to offer to your future users. Then, our experts get to work — developing personalized plans that take us from discovery all the way through official launch.
We use design and prototyping to pressure-test ideas early, before they turn into expensive build decisions. Through interactive prototypes and iterative reviews, we refine flows, interactions, and social mechanics with your team—making sure the experience feels intuitive, scalable, and aligned with how users actually behave.
A social media platform is only as effective as its features. And to gauge that, we run tests to see how every system interacts with its counterparts. Our team builds the architecture, then optimizes each function so that your backend system is as functional and capable as your brand itself.
At every stage of development, we constantly test and validate systems, interactions, and functions. We leverage over 15+ years of experience to identify and resolve potential bugs, glitches, and errors before they reach users.
Our team is here to support you long after launch. Once your website is live, we roll out targeted updates and features — all with the user in mind.
We don’t just talk the talk. Here at Big Human, we’ve worked on projects big and small. In 2012, we created Vine, the world’s first short-form video-sharing social media network, and that’s not the only social media project under our belt.
Big Human doesn’t do basic tools or cookie-cutter templates. We build durable, reliable tech stacks that support your website through the life of the brand. There’s no detail too small and, during development, we cover all of our bases.
Code needs to adapt to specific devices and browsers. Using tools such as Flutter, React Native, Ionic, NativeScript, and .NET (previously called Xamarin), we build comprehensive cross-platform frameworks that prioritize accessibility.
With Python, PHP, and Node.js, we build the server-side code of your website. Our experts use these languages to power through each piece. This keeps your platform responsive and scalable, while mitigating the risk of crashes.
Cloud-based platforms are a critical part of modern website development. We use AWS, GCP, Azure, and Firebase — each offering additional features, such as advanced storage solutions and AI-assisted bug fixing.
Your new platform will need to communicate with external systems, and that’s where API integration comes in. With the right integrations, such as REST and GraphQL, we have the power to expand your website’s capabilities and implement new features.
Testing and QA are where quality gets proven, not assumed. We use tools like Appium, XCTest, and Espresso to validate core flows, edge cases, and platform-specific behavior so issues are caught early and the experience holds up in real-world use.
Evolution is natural. And your website will change and grow over time. Our team uses DevOps and CI/CD to stay consistent with updates and new features without compromising on performance, speed or functionality.
Social media web development is complex by nature. We help teams navigate that complexity with clear decision-making, strong technical foundations, and a product mindset grounded in real-world constraints. The result is a launch that’s thoughtful, intentional, and built to evolve.
Strategy is all about planning for the future and mitigating challenges. Through clear, thoughtful onboarding, our team builds comprehensive strategies that align with your project goals and who you are as a brand. We then create unique game plans that help you achieve each one.
Cross-platform experiences should feel seamless, regardless of how people access them. We design frameworks that perform well across devices and browsers, so that the user’s experience stays consistent.
Experience shows up in how decisions get made. With more than 15 years of building digital products, we know what it takes to turn ambitious ideas into clear, well-executed experiences.
People put their trust in Big Human. From small development teams to Fortune 500 names, we’ve handled it all. Whether you’re an industry leader or a company just beginning your journey, we’ve got the plans and the platform to bring your ideas to life.
The work doesn’t stop post-launch. From the beginning, Big Human is prepared for things like release updates, new features and quality-of-life add-ons that keep your project relevant and scalable for years to come.
Social media platforms succeed or fail based on how people actually use them. How content is created, shared, moderated, discovered, and experienced over time all matter. At Big Human, we design and build social products with those real behaviors in mind, balancing UX, performance, and scalability from the start.
We help teams think through the full system behind a social platform, not just the interface, but the flows, integrations, and technical decisions that shape community and engagement. Whether you are launching something new or evolving an existing product, we partner closely to make sure what you are building works in practice. Contact us to chat about your project.
