PRACTICE 01 — $ llab build

Custom Web & Mobile
App Development

Software you'd put your name on.

Custom websites, apps, and point-of-sale systems for small and mid-sized businesses that care how their product looks and works. Built by the same senior team that does security for a living — so it's secure from day one, not patched later.

FIG. 02 — WHAT WE BUILD

What we build: web apps, mobile apps, POS & AI

Four things we build, and build well — for small and mid-sized businesses.

MOD-01

Websites & web apps

Marketing sites, customer portals, and internal tools. Fast on every device, accessible to everyone.

MOD-02

Mobile apps

iOS and Android apps your customers actually enjoy using — with backends built for the cloud.

MOD-03

POS & e-commerce

Point-of-sale rollouts and online stores — payments handled carefully, because we know how they get attacked.

MOD-04

AI features & automation

AI where it earns its place — smart automation and assistants, tested hard before they ship.

FIG. 03 — THE DIFFERENCE

Built by people who break things for a living.

Most agencies bolt security on at the end — if at all. Our other practice is hands-on security work for defense, government, and finance. Every login screen, payment flow, and API we build is designed like someone will attack it. Because someone will.

FIG. 04 — FAQ

Things founders ask before we build.

Should I build custom or use Shopify, Square, or another off-the-shelf platform? +

Off-the-shelf wins if your operation is generic enough to fit it. Custom wins when the system has to match the way you actually run, when you're paying for features you don't use, or when per-transaction or per-seat economics flip past a certain volume. We'll tell you honestly which side of that line your business is on.

How long does a typical project take? +

A custom POS or internal tool usually ships in 12–16 weeks. A customer-facing platform with auth, payments, and admin is closer to 16–24 weeks. Add 4–8 weeks if AI features are in scope. We give you a tight range after the first call.

Is the team really senior practitioners only? +

Yes. Every engagement is delivered by senior engineers and designers — typically 2–4 people end-to-end. The lead is in the room for design decisions and architectural calls; we don't hand the work off.

Do you handle hosting, monitoring, and ongoing maintenance? +

We do — Cloudflare Pages and Workers, AWS, or your existing cloud, your call. Monitoring, alerting, security patching, and dependency updates are handled on a maintenance retainer after launch. Or we hand the keys cleanly to your team.

What does a project cost — ballpark? +

A bounded discovery is typically $8k–$15k. A custom POS or internal tool ships at $40k–$90k. A customer-facing platform is $80k–$220k depending on auth, payments, and admin complexity. AI features are an add-on per scope. Exact numbers come on the first call.

Do you take on rescue projects from a previous team? +

Yes — some of our most common engagements. We start with a code and security audit, give you an honest assessment of what's worth keeping, and propose a stabilize-then-evolve path rather than a full rewrite.

What stack do you typically use? +

We're stack-pragmatic. Default: TypeScript end-to-end (Next.js / Remix or vanilla on the front, Hono / Express or Cloudflare Workers on the back), Postgres, Tailwind, deployed to Cloudflare or AWS. We deviate where the project demands it.
