Sound familiar?
- Every new prompt fixes one thing and breaks two others.
- You're not sure who can see your users' data.
- Payments, emails, or logins work most of the time.
- The app slows down or falls over as more people use it.
- Nobody, including you, really understands how the code works.
1. Audit
We start with discovery. An experienced engineer reviews your code, database, security, and hosting, and tells you plainly what's solid, what's risky, and what's worth keeping. You get a written plan and a clear estimate before any build work begins.
2. Stabilize or rebuild
Sometimes we harden what you have: lock down data access, fix sign-in and payments, and clean up the code. Sometimes a rebuild is faster and cheaper over time. Either way, we keep your design, your content, and your users, and we use what you learned from the prototype.
3. Launch properly
Your app moves onto its own server with backups, monitoring, and security updates. Real tests cover the parts that matter, so changes stop breaking things. Experienced engineers write and review the code, using AI as a companion tool to move 10x faster, not as a replacement for engineering.
4. Keep it healthy
Monthly care is priced on the maintenance hours your app needs, plus server size if you host with us. Small fixes and new features get handled by people who know your code.
What it costs
Discovery is $1,500. Builds start at $5,000, most land at $7,000 to $11,000, and we work to keep every build under $15,000. Your existing prototype often lowers the cost because the hard product decisions are already made. See the full cost breakdown or how we work.
You own everything
The code, server, domain, and data are yours. No lock-in to any AI tool or to us.
