Built with Lovable?
Lovable is brilliant for getting the screens right. What it leaves behind is usually in the database and payments.

Launching should be easy
Your idea deserves to launch. We handle the hard 10%.
Security audit & fixes
Exposed keys, open databases, missing auth checks. Found and fixed before anyone else finds them.
Payments that work
Stripe subscriptions, webhooks, refunds and failed-card handling, done the way banks expect.
Production deployment
Move off the preview link onto real hosting with your own domain, backups and staging.
Speed & scale
Your app stays fast at 10 users and at 10,000. We fix the queries and code that slow it down.
New features, done right
When the AI keeps breaking one thing while fixing another, your engineer builds it cleanly.
A dedicated team
The same engineers every week, who know your app, your users and your goals.

Four ways to finish your app
Keep prompting
Fix one bug, create two more. The AI can't see the security holes it wrote.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
I'm not technical at all. Will I understand any of it?
Yes. You describe what you need in plain English and your engineer explains every change the same way. You never have to touch code.
My app was built with Lovable, Bolt, Cursor or Replit. Can you help?
That's exactly who we work with. Our engineers know every major AI builder and the problems each one tends to leave behind.
How fast will I see progress?
Your first fix ships within 48 hours of kickoff. Most apps are ready for real customers in two to three weeks.
Will someone steal my idea or my code?
No. Every engineer signs an NDA before they see anything, and your code and accounts stay yours.
What if you can't fix my problem?
If your engineer can't solve what you hired them for, those hours go back to your account.
Can I pause or cancel?
Yes. Scale up, scale down or pause any month. No long contracts.
