“Other app developer quoted 10X the price to create a live testable version. DreamLabs pricing structure has meant we can quickly get the app in users hands and see what they think!”
Jenn Brooks · Founder & CEO @ Nurture
As a fractional product team, we start by defining your vision and sharpening your strategy. We don’t just say “yes,” but always ask “why?”, helping your dev budget go further and faster.
We use AI-accelerated development to help teams of all sizes launch custom, scale-ready digital products. Ship in days/weeks, not months/years.
User testing is a bonus service we offer to all clients for free. This means we learn together from real users with each release.
[What We Do]
Our development process for Irvine clients pairs AI-assisted architecture, frontend and backend implementation, and testing with direct senior engineering oversight at every stage. That combination lets us deliver production-grade web applications on a timeline that manual development alone can't match, without cutting the technical corners a sophisticated Irvine client would notice immediately.
We move from requirements to a working prototype quickly, then iterate in short, transparent cycles. Continuous integration and automated testing run throughout the build, so issues surface early rather than at the end of a long development phase, and every architectural decision gets documented well enough for your team to build on it later.
Irvine clients expect technical rigor, whether they're an early-stage startup near the Spectrum or an established enterprise team extending a mature platform. We build for that expectation, using AI to accelerate the parts of development that benefit from it while keeping senior engineers accountable for architecture, security, and performance across the full stack, from the database to what actually renders in the browser.
[Deliverables]
Custom web applications built for Irvine businesses by senior engineers using AI-accelerated development. We deliver high-performance, scalable applications optimized for the specific demands of your product and market, from architecture through launch and ongoing support.
SaaS platform development tailored to Irvine's competitive tech landscape. Our AI-enabled process shortens the build cycle while our engineers stay hands-on with architecture, code quality, and long-term maintainability as your user base grows.
Enterprise web application integration for Irvine companies that need robust connections to existing systems and infrastructure. AI-assisted implementation speeds up delivery while senior engineers retain full ownership of security, performance, and scalability.
[FAQs]
Our published tiers anchor the range: prototypes start at $6,000 and full MVPs at $15,000. Costs vary with scope, but our AI-enabled process typically brings projects in around $20,000 all-in, compared to the roughly $200,000 a traditional agency charges for comparable work. AI handles the repetitive parts of the build, frontend scaffolding, backend boilerplate, and test writing, without a drop in code quality.
Most builds take about 6 weeks with our team, versus an industry-typical 6 months. AI-assisted scaffolding, code generation, and testing let our senior engineers move through a build far faster than manual development alone, while still owning every line that ships to production.
We choose the stack based on what your product needs rather than a single default, typically a modern JavaScript or TypeScript frontend paired with a backend and database architecture sized to your data and traffic, deployed on cloud infrastructure built for uptime and scale. AI accelerates implementation; senior engineers own the architecture.
Every piece of AI-generated code goes through senior code review before it merges, backed by automated test coverage and continuous integration. That process is what lets us hand Irvine clients, many of whom have their own engineering standards, a codebase they can inspect and trust, not a black box.
[01] Product Strategy
We start by helping you define your long and short-term product visions. We then break down the concepts into concrete features and functions, so we can piece them back together into a prioritized roadmap.
[02] Development
With the framework pinned down, we go heads-down on execution. We leverage AI-powered tooling and a modern Flutter + Firebase stack to develop your product in record time.
[03] Polishing + Launch QA
Your finished product to ensure that each feature works seamlessly, every color is precise and all copy is ready for publication. We then manage the entire app publishing process on mobile, web or both.
