SaaS products need a full-stack engineer who's shipped them before.
We build full-stack SaaS products — the frontend, backend, data layer, and infrastructure required to ship a product that real customers can use on day one. Fixed scope, fixed price.
Your product has a clear value proposition and a defined feature set. What it needs is an engineering partner who can build across the entire stack — from the React frontend to the API layer to the database schema to the deployment pipeline — without requiring you to manage five different contractors.
SaaS founders who need to build a product face a sourcing problem. Hiring a CTO or lead engineer is a 6–12 month process at a cost that most pre-revenue companies can't sustain. Hiring a freelance frontend developer and a freelance backend developer and managing the integration between them is a project management overhead that founders shouldn't be carrying. Outsourcing to an agency that passes the work to offshore developers typically produces a codebase that's difficult to maintain after handoff.
What a SaaS startup actually needs is a small, senior, full-stack team with a track record of shipping SaaS products — one that understands the multi-tenant architecture decisions, the Stripe billing edge cases, the auth patterns, and the React component architecture well enough to make good decisions at every layer without the founder having to specify every detail.
The full-stack product build also needs to be sequenced correctly. The authentication and multi-tenant data model needs to be right before any features are built on top of it — changing those foundations after 10,000 lines of feature code have been written is the scenario that derails SaaS builds. A team that's shipped SaaS before makes those foundational decisions correctly the first time.
A complete, full-stack SaaS product built for production — frontend, backend, database, auth, billing, and deployment — by a single accountable team. Fixed price.
React/Next.js frontend
Server-rendered pages where SEO matters (marketing, documentation). Client-rendered application pages where interactivity requires it. Component library built on shadcn/ui with your design system applied. Responsive across all screen sizes.
API layer
REST or tRPC API with typed endpoints. Input validation at the API boundary. Rate limiting and authentication middleware. Webhook handling for third-party integrations. Error responses that are useful for debugging.
Database schema and ORM
Postgres schema designed for your specific data model, with multi-tenant row-level security from the start. Drizzle or Prisma ORM. Migration-based schema management. Indexes designed for the query patterns the product requires.
Authentication and access control
Clerk or Auth.js with email/password, Google SSO, and magic link. Organisation and team management. Role-based access control. Session management with secure, short-lived tokens.
Stripe billing, deployment, and monitoring
Stripe subscription billing with plan management and Customer Portal. Vercel deployment with preview environments per branch. Sentry for error tracking. Basic observability for API performance and error rates. Built on Next.js, TypeScript, Postgres, Drizzle, Clerk, Stripe, and Vercel.
One honest number to start.
Fixed-scope, fixed-price. The number below is the starting point — final scope is built from your brief.

Three steps, every time.
The same repeatable engagement on every project. No surprises, no mystery, no billable ambiguity.
Brief & discovery.
We send you questions, then get on a call. Output: a written scope with every step, feature, and integration listed.
Build & ship.
Fixed schedule, weekly reviews. No scope creep unless you change the scope — and if you do, we reprice it transparently.
Warranty & retainer.
30-day warranty on every launch. Most clients stay on a monthly retainer for ongoing features and maintenance.
Why Fixed-Price Matters Here
SaaS founders are managing dilution and runway simultaneously. A software build with an open-ended hourly budget is an equity-allocation risk and a cash-flow risk. Fixed scope and fixed price is how you preserve runway for growth, not development cost overruns.

We spend one to two weeks on discovery: reviewing your design files, understanding your data model, documenting the feature set, and identifying the integration requirements. The scope document becomes the contract — feature by feature, API endpoint by API endpoint. Changes to scope are managed as change orders.
Full source code in your GitHub organisation. Documentation covering architecture decisions, local development setup, deployment process, and key third-party integrations. A recorded walkthrough of the codebase for any future engineers. No lock-in.
Yes — we offer ongoing development retainers for SaaS products post-launch. The retainer structure is defined separately from the initial build scope and is structured as a fixed-hours-per-month engagement.
The core product (frontend + backend + database + auth + billing) typically runs $35k–$85k depending on feature complexity and number of integrations. Real-time features and complex billing models add scope. Fixed-price.
12 to 18 weeks from discovery to production deployment.
