Sydney · from prototype to production
You prototyped in Lovable. Now own it.
Lovable, Bolt, v0 and Replit are brilliant for the first draft — and a dead end for production. We take what you built the last mile: real code, real hosting, real ownership.

The cheeky truth: AI website builders like Lovable, Bolt, v0 and Replit are already the new "legacy" — they're wrappers that sit between you and the model, burning credits and generating code you can't easily read, own or deploy where you like. They're genuinely great for prototyping. The wall comes at production: hosting lock-in, no proper testing or CI, security you can't vouch for, and a subscription that never ends. We work the way they only pretend to — Claude Code straight against a repository you own — and take your prototype to a real, shipped site.
What We Do
What taking it to production looks like
Where the AI builders stop
- Credit burn on every change
- Code you can't read or hand off
- Hosting lock-in, no real CI
- Unvetted security, endless subscription
How we take it to production
- Your prototype audited and understood
- Rebuilt or hardened as clean code
- Proper hosting, testing & deploys
- Handed over in a repo you own
What you land on
- Fast site on Astro (or the right stack)
- Code you own on GitHub, no lock-in
- Editable by your team — or by AI
- Schema, analytics & LLMO wired in
Our Work
A few we're proud of.
Why Momentum
Go direct to the model
Every AI website builder is a paid layer between you and a model you could use directly. That layer is useful for a first pass, and expensive for everything after — you pay per credit to change your own site, and you're left with code and hosting you don't truly control. We skip the wrapper: senior engineers driving Claude Code straight against your codebase, so you get the speed of AI with the ownership, quality and security of real software. Bring us the Lovable or Bolt prototype you're proud of — we'll make it something you can actually run a business on.
Let's talkWhy teams come to us
- No credit meter on your own changes
- Real code you own and can hand off
- Production hosting, security & CI
- Senior engineers, not a chat wrapper
FAQ
Common questions
What's actually wrong with Lovable, Bolt or v0?
Nothing, for prototyping — they're genuinely impressive at a first draft. The problems show up at production: you pay per credit to change your own site, the generated code is hard to read or hand off, hosting is locked in, there's no proper testing or CI, and the security is unvetted. Great sketch, wrong place to live.
Can you continue from my existing Lovable or Bolt project?
Yes. We audit what you've built, keep what's sound, and harden or rebuild the rest as clean code in a repository you own — then set up real hosting and deploys around it.
Do you throw away what I built?
Not if it's good. The design and structure you prototyped are often worth keeping — we carry across what works and fix what won't survive production, rather than starting from a blank page.
Why is "going direct to the model" better than a builder?
Because you drop the wrapper tax and gain control. We use Claude Code — the same class of model these builders wrap — driven by senior engineers straight against your codebase, so you get AI speed without the credit meter, the lock-in or the unvetted output.
What will it cost to run afterwards?
Usually just your domain (around $20 a year). Netlify's free tier hosts most sites, so there's no builder subscription and no per-change credit spend.
