Your MVP, shipped in 4 to 8 weeks
A real product in front of real users. Not a mockup, not a no-code prototype that breaks at scale. Fixed scope, weekly demos, and you keep the code.
We know what it's like before traction
Every dollar matters, every week matters, and the worst thing an agency can do is over-engineer something nobody's asked for yet.
Speed over perfection
Validated learning beats a polished v1. We strip features back to the one thing your users actually need to try.
Founder-friendly pricing
Fixed-scope packages so you know what you're getting. Open to milestone payments and rev-share for the right fit.
No lock-in
Source code, infra, and credentials are yours from day one. If you raise and want to bring it in-house, we hand off cleanly.
From idea to launch in three phases
No 40-page proposals. No discovery sprints that drag for a month. Here's the whole thing on one page.
Discover & scope
A working session to pin down the one user, the one problem, and the smallest thing that proves the idea. We leave with wireframes, a feature list, and a fixed quote.
- User & problem definition
- Wireframes for core flows
- Tech stack & architecture
- Fixed scope & timeline
Build in the open
A working demo every Friday. You touch it, click around, and tell us what's missing before we've over-built. Your repo gets new commits daily.
- Weekly Friday demos
- Slack / WhatsApp access
- Daily pushes to your repo
- Staging URL from week 2
Launch & hand over
Production deploy, domains pointed, analytics wired up, and a walkthrough so you (or your future engineer) can run it without us in the room.
- Production deployment
- Analytics & error tracking
- Codebase walkthrough
- Post-launch support window
Everything a real product needs
Not a demo. Not a Figma. A live product your first 100 users can actually use.
Source code & repo
GitHub org transferred to you. Yours forever.
Auth & user accounts
Email, magic link, or social login.
Payments (Stripe)
One-off, subscription, or both.
Transactional email
Postmark / Resend / SES wired up.
Analytics
PostHog or Plausible. See what users actually do.
Error monitoring
Sentry so you know when something breaks before users tell you.
Hosting & deploy
CI/CD configured. One push to deploy.
Responsive design
Looks right on a phone, tablet, and desktop.
Post-launch support
2 to 4 weeks of bug fixes & small tweaks included.
Pick the smallest one you can get away with
We'll honestly tell you which tier fits. Sometimes that means recommending you start cheaper.
A waiting list, a pitch, and analytics. Find out if anyone wants this before you spend on the build.
- Branded landing page
- Waitlist + email capture
- Analytics & A/B-ready
- SEO setup & sitemap
- Copy & messaging help
The full thing: accounts, the core feature, payments. Enough to onboard your first 100 users and start charging.
- Everything in Landing
- User auth & accounts
- Core feature(s), built end-to-end
- Stripe payments / subscriptions
- Admin panel for you
- Email notifications
- 4 weeks post-launch support
Same scope as Functional, but with a Go backend, multi-tenant data, and the infra to survive a Product Hunt launch.
- Everything in Functional
- Go backend for hot paths
- Multi-tenant / team accounts
- Background jobs & queues
- Public REST API
- Load-tested before launch
Final price depends on scope. We give you a fixed quote after the discovery session, with no surprise invoices.
Senior engineering, without the agency tax
You're not handing your idea to a junior team. The code is written by engineers who've shipped to production at scale.
Senior contracting background
Years of contracting on production systems in food delivery, fintech, classifieds, and high-traffic, high-security apps. The hard problems are familiar.
A stack chosen for both speeds
Laravel to ship the MVP fast. Go for the parts that need to handle real load when traction hits. You don't have to rewrite when you grow.
You talk to the engineer
No account managers, no project layers. The person writing your code is the person you message on Slack.
We're founders too
GoByte ships its own SaaS on the side. We've sat in your seat, made the same scope mistakes, and brought the lessons back to client work.
A few things we can build in weeks, not months
Live examples of the kinds of products we put together, all linked from this site. Yours doesn't have to look anything like these. It's just the speed and quality bar.
The questions we always get
Do I own the code?
Yes. Once the engagement is paid up, the repository, the deployment configs, and every line we wrote belong to you. We hand over the GitHub org, the cloud accounts, and the credentials. No lock-in.
What if we pivot mid-build?
It happens, and we plan for it. Weekly demos exist exactly so a pivot surfaces in week 2, not week 7. We re-scope together and adjust the remaining sprints rather than blowing up the engagement.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes. Happy to sign yours, or we can use a simple mutual one. We'd rather skip the NDA dance for the first call though, so we can give you useful feedback on the idea.
What happens after launch?
Every package includes a post-launch support window for bug fixes and small adjustments. After that you can either take it in-house, or keep us on a monthly retainer for new features and on-call support.
Can you build only the frontend, or only the backend?
Yes. If you have a technical co-founder handling part of the stack, we can slot in on whatever piece is missing. Most founders want the whole thing, but it's not required.
Are you open to equity or rev-share?
For the right idea, partly. Usually as a discount on cash plus a small equity or rev-share component. We won't build for pure equity; the team has to eat. Talk to us and we'll be straight about what would work.
What do you need from me to start?
A 30-minute call where you walk us through the idea and the user. Wireframes or sketches help, but they're not required. After the call we send a written scope and quote within a couple of days.
Tell us about the idea.
A 30-minute call, no slides, no sales script. We'll tell you honestly whether we're a fit, and if we're not, we'll point you at someone who is.
