About the Project
Understanding the Client
Kiindred came to Probits with a clear ambition: adapt an existing platform to the evolving needs of millennial parents. Initially, our outreach on social media declined, but about a year later, Kiindred approached us for a website overhaul. We kicked off the relationship with a rigorous system analysis, diagnosing code structures and user engagement metrics. From these insights, we designed technology solutions that addressed Kiindred’s primary pain points—ensuring user-friendly design, robust security, and reliable performance.
The 5-Year Milestone
Over time, trust between Kiindred and Probits grew stronger. Through recurring milestones and progressive improvements, our collaboration evolved from a simple development gig into a strategic partnership that has thrived for five years. This extended timeline gave us the flexibility to experiment with new features, refine existing ones based on feedback, and consistently align the platform with Kiindred’s long-term vision of empowering parents.

The Challenges
Building a parenting platform that addresses a wide spectrum of concerns—from newborn care to tween mischief—meant incorporating diverse functionalities without overwhelming users. Kiindred’s platform needed to feel both high-tech and welcoming, serving as a digital companion parents could turn to daily. Probits overcame these challenges by:
- Mapping user journeys for different developmental stages.
- Employing data-driven insights to prioritize must-have features over “nice-to-haves.”
- Conducting continuous user testing sessions to validate each enhancement before final rollout.
KEY FEATURES
Parenting has evolved in the digital age, and Kiindred has been at the forefront of offering comprehensive, tech-enabled solutions to millennial parents. For over five years, Probits has played a pivotal role in transforming Kiindred’s platform from a traditional website into an interactive, community-driven hub. Through this lasting partnership, we’ve introduced cutting-edge features, harnessed data-driven insights, and fostered a supportive environment for modern families.
Our story began with a simple vision: bridge the gap between parents’ real-life challenges and the technology that can make life simpler. During our initial consultations and codebase analysis, we identified opportunities to integrate machine learning, natural language processing, and robust security measures.
This not only aligned with Kiindred’s mission of empowering parents but also ensured the app stayed ahead of the curve. Today, as we continue to refine and elevate Kiindred’s offerings, our five-year collaboration shows the power of trust, shared goals, and a deep commitment to helping families thrive.
