The Problem

The founder had a Figma mockup, a Product Hunt date locked in, and zero engineering help. The existing site was a Notion page glued to a Typeform.

What I Built

Next.js landing page wired to Resend for email and Stripe for early-bird checkout. A small Supabase backend stores the waitlist and a tiny admin lets the founder watch signups roll in without touching code.

What we shipped
  • Mobile-friendly Next.js landing page
  • Email waitlist with auto-confirmation
  • Stripe early-bird checkout
  • Founder admin to view signups
The Outcome

Launched on Product Hunt and got a steady trickle of traffic for the first week. 184 waitlist signups and 6 paid early-bird seats — enough to validate the idea before the founder put real time into it.

I had a Figma file and a Product Hunt date. They turned both into a real, paying landing page in a week — and stayed calm about the deadline the whole way through.

An AI front desk handling the questions a clinic's receptionist used to answer thirty times a day.

Site chatbot + FAQ automation

A site chatbot trained on the clinic's own FAQ — answering about a third of questions before the front desk picks up.

The Problem

Two-person front desk fielding the same 'are you open Saturday / do you take Cigna' calls all day. The owner wanted reception focused on actual patients, not the phone.

What I Built

A small AI assistant trained on the clinic's website and FAQ, dropped onto their existing WordPress site as a chat widget. The office manager can update answers in plain English — no developer needed.

What we shipped
  • AI chat widget on the existing WordPress site
  • Trained on the clinic's site + FAQ doc
  • Plain-English admin to update answers
  • Source citations on every reply
The Outcome

About 30% of questions answered without a human. Roughly 9 fewer phone calls a day. Owner kept the existing site, the existing team, and the existing budget.

It quietly handles the same questions my front desk used to repeat all day. The team can finally focus on the patients in the room.

The Problem

A running coach was managing 60 athletes in Google Sheets. She wanted a real product but had no engineering help and a small budget for a project that wasn't paying yet.

What I Built

A small web app with coach and athlete logins, a weekly workout publisher, athlete check-ins, and a $19/month Stripe subscription. Hosted simply, and the founder owns the whole thing.

What we shipped
  • Coach + athlete logins with roles
  • Weekly workout publisher
  • Athlete check-ins & history
  • Stripe subscription billing ($19/mo)
The Outcome

Launched with 8 paying coaches in month one. The founder kept her day job through the first six months while it grew slowly — no panic, no investors needed.

They built it the way a friend would — quick, honest, and they actually came back when something needed tweaking. I never once felt like I was being sold to.

How we work

How we implement AI automation for businesses.

We help small businesses cut bottlenecks and reclaim hours with custom AI automation. We figure out where you're losing time, design something that fits with the tools you already use, and build it so it just works. Most setups pay for themselves in the first 30–60 days.

01

Find your time-drain

We jump on a call to figure out where the hours are actually leaking. Repetitive emails, the same spreadsheet copy-paste every Monday, customer questions that loop. We map your current process and pick the one or two things AI can quietly take off your plate.

02

Design something simple

We sketch the workflow before any code is written — what triggers it, which tools it touches (Gmail, Stripe, your CRM), what it actually does. You see it on paper first and can change your mind for free.

03

Build without breaking things

We build on top of the tools you already use — no rip-and-replace. Most setups go live in 1–2 weeks with zero disruption. We test every flow, run it side-by-side with your team, and only flip the switch when you say go.

04

Stay around after launch

We show your team how to use it in plain English — not a 50-page PDF. After go-live, message us anytime: small tweaks free, bigger changes get a quick quote. Your AI grows as your business does.

How a project goes

What working with us looks like.

Every project moves through four simple stages. No big decks, no sales calls, no surprise add-ons.

  1. 011 day · free

    A quick chat

    You tell us what you're building, who it's for, and what you'd like at the end. We ask a few questions, point out anything you might want to think about, and give you a rough idea of price and timeline. No charge, no pressure.

    • 30-minute call or email
    • Free, no commitment
    • Honest 'is this a fit?' answer
  2. 022–3 days

    Plan and price

    We sketch out the screens or pages, list exactly what's included, and lock in a fixed price and a delivery date. You see the plan before any code gets written — and can change your mind for free.

    • Mockups & a clear plan
    • Fixed price, fixed timeline
    • Nothing locked in yet
  3. 031–3 weeks

    Build it

    We build the thing. You get a live preview link from day one and updates every few days. If you spot something, you tell us and we tweak it — no change-request forms, no extra fees for normal feedback.

    • Live preview from day one
    • Updates every few days
    • Tweaks included
  4. 04Ongoing

    Launch and tidy up

    We launch it, make sure everything works, and stick around for a couple of weeks afterwards in case anything needs a fix. After that, message us anytime — small tweaks are usually free, bigger changes get a quick quote.

    • Launch help included
    • 2 weeks of free fixes
    • Easy to reach us later
About us

A small studio that ships things.

We're a tiny team that builds websites, web apps, and simple AI tools for founders, side projects, and small businesses.

The person you talk to is the person who builds your project. No account managers, no offshore handoffs, no surprise add-ons — just a fixed price, a clear timeline, and a working product at the end.

Websites

Marketing sites and landing pages that look good on a phone, load fast, and you can edit yourself later.

Web apps

MVPs, dashboards, and small tools — the kind a side project, small business, or new startup actually needs.

AI tools

Chatbots, content helpers, and small AI features. Useful, honest, and built on top of your own content.

How we work
  • 01
    Quick and clear

    Most projects ship in 1 to 3 weeks. We send updates as we go and you can see a live preview from day one — no surprises at the end.

  • 02
    Honest about security

    We do the basics properly: secure logins, safe payment handling through Stripe, and we don't share your data. No SOC2 theatre, no scary jargon.

  • 03
    You own everything

    The code, the hosting account, the domain — all yours. If you outgrow us, your next developer can pick it up cleanly.

Why us

A small team for the whole job.

Most agencies pass you between four different people. With us, the person you meet is the person who builds your project — and sticks around after launch.

A real human, start to finish.
Design · Build · Launch

You message us, we reply — usually the same day. No tickets, no sales reps, no hand-offs. If something breaks after launch, you ping us and we fix it.

Real builders, not prompt jockeys.

We actually build software. AI features sit on top of code that's been put together properly — not a notebook held together with sticky tape.

One small team, no handoffs.

The person you talk to is the person who designs it, builds it, and ships it. No account managers, no offshore relay, no agency theatre.

Fixed price, fixed timeline.

We agree on the price and the deadline before any code gets written. No hourly meters, no scope creep, no surprise invoices.

Built so you can keep it.

We use boring, popular tools so any developer can pick up where we left off. The code, the hosting, the domain — all yours, no lock-in.

What we do

Six ways we can help.

Most projects mix a few of these. Tell us what you're trying to do and we'll help you pick what actually fits.

  • Email signups & Stripe checkout
  • You can edit it yourself later
02 / Web apps

  • Custom to your workflow
  • Trained on your own data

06 / Care

Most fixes done within 24 hours
  • Same-day reply
  • Small tweaks free
  • No locked-in retainer
Get in touch

Tell us about your project.

A few sentences is fine — what you're building, who it's for, and roughly when you'd like it ready. If it's a fit, we'll reply with a couple of questions and a rough quote.

We usually reply the same day

We never share your details. Replies come from a real human.
