Built forFounders and operators who outgrew what they have.
We build productionsoftware for teamspast the starting line.Fast, AI-native, and built to last.
If your Bubble app has hit its ceiling, your team is drowning in manual work, or you raised and need to ship before runway burns, this is where you come next. 15+ products shipped. Zero rewrites in year one. Led by a studio that uses AI the way most agencies pretend to.
Most products do not fail at the idea stage. They fail at the transition. The moment the first solution stops scaling, or the team stops being enough.
Villain 01
The No-Code Ceiling
Your Bubble or Webflow app worked beautifully until it did not. Slow loads. Rising database costs. Features that take weeks because the platform fights you. You cannot hire real devs to touch it. Every new user makes the problem worse.
Villain 02
The Manual Bottleneck
Your team is doing in spreadsheets, email threads, and copy-paste what software should do in seconds. Every new hire is really a patch on a missing system. You know automation would save hundreds of hours a month. You just need someone to actually build it.
Villain 03
The Runway Clock
You raised capital with a vision and a deck. Now every week without a shipped product is a week of burn. Hiring takes three months. Contractors want equity you do not want to give. You need senior execution now, not a team build-out you cannot yet afford.
02Honest Comparison

03What We Build
2 min read
Five categories. Every one shipped with AI, built by hand.
We use AI across every build, not as a gimmick, but as the reason we ship faster and cheaper than any agency at this quality level. Every category below has been shipped in production. None of it was learned on your budget.
01
SaaS Products
Full-stack SaaS. Auth, billing, dashboards. Production-ready and monetizable from day one.
Next.js 15SupabaseStripeTypeScript
02
AI-Native Tools
Agents, RAG, MCP integrations. Not ChatGPT wrappers. Real workflows where the intelligence actually earns its keep. Lead qualification engines, document processors, AI copilots.
For teams drowning in spreadsheets and manual ops. Custom dashboards, client portals, admin panels, and workflow automations. Built for the engineer who inherits it. Real data models, role permissions, zero technical debt.

Bubble Migrations
Your Bubble app has outgrown the platform. We migrate to Next.js and Supabase with zero downtime, zero data loss, and a codebase real engineers can maintain. We have done this for 80+ user communities. We speak fluent Bubble.

04Commit History
3 min read
Real products. Actual outcomes.
No mockups. No ghost-written case studies. Every entry is live, active, or formally proposed — with the actual result, the actual timeline, and the actual stack. Read the commits.
Most developers build what you describe. Lucas builds what you need. He pushed back three times in the first week — and was right every time. That is the partner you want when your product is on the line.

We had a working URL in 15 days. Not a prototype, not a Figma — a real product on a real domain. I have worked with agencies that took three weeks to send a proposal. Deployed sent a demo.

07How We Work
2 min read
Five phases. Zero gray areas.
Most agency projects fail in communication, not code. Our process eliminates every point where "I thought you meant…" can happen.
01
Discovery
We ask the uncomfortable questions before line one — 48 hours to map your problem, users, and real constraints.
48h turnaround
02
Spec
User flows, data models, edge cases, tech choices — all documented. You sign off before any code exists.
Full sign-off
03
Build
Two-week sprints, working demo every Friday. You watch the product grow — never in the dark.
Weekly live demos
04
Ship
Production deploy with error tracking, uptime monitoring, go-live checklist. We do not push to prod and vanish.
Monitored deploy
05
Iterate
Most retainers begin here. 30 days post-launch support in every contract — because the product is never truly finished.
30-day support

The questions that actually determine whether you hire us.
No softball questions. No "what makes you different." The hard ones, answered without spin.
What if my budget is lower than your minimum?+
The Discovery Sprint at $500 is the right starting point. It gives you a full technical spec, stack recommendation, and realistic budget breakdown — regardless of whether you build with us. If your budget genuinely cannot reach the MVP tier after Discovery, we will tell you honestly and point you toward the right path. We would rather lose a project than set you up to fail.
Why not an Upwork freelancer?+
You can. A freelancer is a reasonable choice for a simple, well-defined task with low stakes. But for a full product — auth, payments, data model, deployment, edge cases — you are not hiring one person, you are coordinating five. Deployed is a single point of accountability. One person owns the spec, the architecture, the delivery, and the outcome. That is what you are paying for.
Why not vibe-code it with Cursor or Bolt?+
Cursor and Bolt are legitimate tools — we use AI in our own build process. The problem is not the tool, it is the foundation. Vibe-coded apps accumulate structural debt fast: bad data models, no RLS, no error handling, no scalability. They work until they do not. When you need to add a second feature or onboard your first hundred users, the cracks show. We build with AI but we architect by hand — so the codebase you receive is something a real engineer can inherit.
How fast can you actually ship?+
Working prototype in 15 days. Full production MVP in 3 to 6 weeks depending on scope defined in Discovery. We run two-week sprints with a live demo every Friday — you watch the product grow in real time. The 15-day prototype is deployed, clickable, and shareable with investors or early users. Not a Figma file. Not a staging environment only you can access.
What if scope changes mid-project?+
It will. Scope always moves. Our process handles this through the Spec phase — we document everything before writing a line of code, so changes are measured against a signed baseline, not a memory of a conversation. Small changes within sprint are absorbed. Meaningful scope additions are scoped separately and agreed before work begins. No surprise invoices. No change order ambushes.
Who actually writes the code?+
Lucas leads every project — architecture, technical decisions, and everything client-facing. The person you speak to is the person responsible for your product. You will never be handed to a stranger or a junior. Ever.
Do I own the code and accounts at the end?+
Yes. Entirely. Every line of code, every account, every API key, every deployment — transferred to you at handoff. No vendor lock-in, no monthly fee to access your own product, no hostage codebase. You own the GitHub repo, the Vercel project, the Supabase instance, the Stripe account. Everything. This is non-negotiable and written into every contract.
What if I only have a rough idea?+
That is exactly what Discovery is for. You do not need a PRD, a Figma file, or a technical spec to start. You need a problem worth solving and a sense of who has it. In 48 hours we turn a rough idea into a signed, buildable spec with user flows, data models, stack recommendation, and a realistic timeline. Most of our best projects started as a voice note and a napkin sketch.
How much does it cost to build an MVP?+
At Deployed, MVPs range from $8,000 to $15,000 depending on scope and complexity defined during the Discovery Sprint. The Discovery Sprint itself is $500 and is credited toward your project if you proceed. Simple SaaS products with auth, billing, and a core workflow sit at the lower end. Marketplaces, AI-native tools, and products with complex data models sit higher. Every project starts with a fixed price agreed before any code is written — no hourly billing, no open-ended retainers until you are ready.
A direct message to burned founders
The agency that handed your product to a junior owes you an apology. The platform that hit a ceiling is not your fault either. We are here for what comes next.
We built Deployed after watching too many teams get stuck at the transition. Founders handed back a product they had to rewrite six months later. Operators told their spreadsheet problem "was not a real software project". Migrations that took a year and never shipped. We exist to be the shop those teams wish they had found first. Lucas leads every project. No handoffs. No surprises.
Tell us what you are building. In 30 minutes you will know exactly what it takes to ship it. Scope, timeline, stack, and whether we are the right fit. If we are not, we will tell you that too.
You will meet directly with Lucas.Founder / Technical lead / No sales handoff
