Services/Help With Your Build

Help With Your
Build.

You've built something yourself, with Lovable, Bolt, Replit, Cursor, Claude or a long night of prompting. Good. You've done the hardest part: you know exactly what you want. When you hit the bit the tools can't get you through, a senior developer is one email away. Help is priced to fit the budget, from $500.

How we
can help.

You don't have to hand it over

Most studios want to take the project off you and start again. We'd rather help you keep going. Sometimes that's an hour on a call. Sometimes it's a review that tells you what's safe and what isn't. Sometimes it's a few hours a month from someone who can read the code your AI tool wrote and tell you whether it's right.

If it gets to the point where the app runs part of your business and you'd rather someone else looked after it, we can take it over too. That's your call, not ours.

What people usually come to us with

  • "Is this safe to launch?" API keys in the browser, customers who can see each other's data, payments with no error handling. The things a demo never shows.
  • "I'm stuck and the AI keeps going in circles." A bug it can't fix, a feature it keeps breaking, a deploy that won't go through.
  • "Which way should I go?" Supabase or Firebase, web app or mobile app, keep building or bring someone in. A straight answer from someone with no reason to upsell you.
  • "It works, but I'm scared to touch it." Real users, no tests, every change a guess. We put a safety net under it.
  • "Who actually owns all this?" The database on a personal login, the domain on a card nobody checks, the email service on a free tier about to run out.

How it works

Send us a link or a few lines about what you've built and where you're stuck. A senior developer replies within one business day with an honest read and a price shaped to what you need. No packages to choose from and no sales sequence. If the right answer is "keep going yourself, you're fine", we'll say so.

§ Capabilities

Six ways we back you up.

/01

Ask a senior dev

A call or a few hours with someone who has shipped hundreds of projects. Second opinions, stack questions, “is this safe to launch?”

/02

Review & harden

We go through the code, hosting, data and accounts, and hand you a plain-English list of what matters, ranked by consequence.

/03

Developer on call

A bank of hours for when you’re stuck. You keep building; we unblock, fix and review what the AI wrote.

/04

Get it live

Domains, hosting, deployment, email, payments and App Store submission. The last ten per cent that stalls most builds.

/05

Make it yours

Move services off trial and personal accounts, write down who has access to what, and make sure you own every piece.

/06

Take it over

When it runs part of the business: stabilise it, rebuild the parts that need it, or rebuild from the spec your prototype wrote.

§ Stack

Whatever you built it with.

We work in what you’ve already got. No “we only do X”, and no rewrite to suit our preferences. A few of the tools we see most:

§ Read first

What we've written about it.

§ FAQ

Common questions.

/01

I built my app with an AI tool. Will you actually work on it?

Yes. Lovable, Bolt, Replit, Cursor, Claude Code, v0, Supabase, Firebase; we've seen them all and we work in whatever you've already got. We won't insist on moving it to a stack we prefer.

/02

Will you tell me to rebuild it?

Only if that's genuinely the cheapest way to get where you're going. Most of the time the answer is to fix the urgent parts and keep what works. We'll give you options with real trade-offs, not one big number.

/03

How much does it cost?

It's priced to fit the budget, starting from $500. A second opinion or a few hours of unblocking sits at the small end; a full review or ongoing hours costs more. We'll tell you the price before any work starts.

/04

Can I just ask a few questions?

Yes. Plenty of people only need an hour with a senior developer to make a decision or get unstuck. That's a perfectly good reason to get in touch.

/05

Do I need to be technical?

No. We explain things in plain English and we're used to working with founders and business owners who built their first app with an AI tool.

/06

What do you need from me to start?

A link to the app or the code if you have one, and a sentence about what it does and where it's stuck. If we need access to hosting or accounts later, we'll walk you through granting it safely.

§ Contact

Where are
you stuck?

Tell us what you built it with and where it’s got to. A senior developer replies within one business day with an honest read on what it needs, even if the answer is “keep going yourself”.
