Got further than an idea. Hit a wall anyway.
Maybe you built something yourself with an AI app builder or a no-code tool, and it looked brilliant right up until you needed a real login system, a proper database change, or a safe way to actually launch it. Maybe you hired a freelancer or an early developer who’s since moved on, and what’s left is a product held together by hope. Either way, you’ve got further than an idea and you’re still stuck.
We pick up from here.
When a demo needs to become a product
Tools that generate a working app from a description are genuinely impressive at producing a first demo. That’s exactly what they’re built for. What they’re not built for is the part that comes after: adding proper authentication, changing how the data is structured without breaking everything else, setting up background jobs, or deploying it safely so it doesn’t fall over the first time a real customer uses it. That’s not a sign you did something wrong. It’s the point where a demo needs to become a product, and that’s a different job.
Inherited code that looked finished
The same thing happens with inherited code from a freelancer or an early hire. What looked like 90% finished is often a lot closer to 10%, and cleaning up someone else’s unfamiliar work can genuinely take longer than starting fresh.
01
An honest look first.
Tell us where you’re stuck, and we’ll tell you straight whether this needs a proper rebuild, or whether it’s actually a smaller fix than it feels like from the inside.
02
A clean, proper rebuild, if that’s what it needs.
We don’t try to reverse-engineer someone else’s code and patch around it, since that’s usually slower and more expensive than doing it properly. We’d rather tell you that upfront than take the money and struggle through it.
03
A fixed price, agreed before we start.
Same as always, no open-ended billing while we figure out what we’ve inherited.
04
One point of contact, start to finish.
And ongoing maintenance built in afterwards so this doesn’t happen again in twelve months’ time.
If you love your existing codebase exactly as it is and just want small tweaks made to it without anyone touching the underlying structure, we’re probably not the right fit, and it’s worth saying so rather than wasting your time. We’re at our best doing a proper rebuild, not patching around a codebase we didn’t write.
Tell us where you’re stuck
Tell us where you’re stuck, and we’ll give you a straight answer on what it’ll take to fix properly, and a fixed price for doing it.
Still at the idea stage, and the problem is that it doesn’t exist yet? This page is probably a better starting point.
