Trusted by Sponge Labs portfolio + clients
Built by people you can sit across from.
Sponge Labs handles the discovery, scope, and account management here in Tampa Bay. Webgurus (200+ projects, 8 years, EU-based senior team) writes the code. One pod, one timeline, fixed price. The way custom software is supposed to work.
The dev team you wish you'd hired six months ago.
Offshore agencies disappear after invoice three. AI tools (Bolt, Lovable, v0) get you a demo, not a business. We do real custom software, with senior engineers, with project management that's accountable to you. Built for the day after launch.
Sponge Labs PM here, Webgurus team in EU.
One project manager you can call in Tampa Bay. One senior engineering team in Cluj-Napoca. 8 years together, 200+ projects shipped, no offshore handoff drama.
Fixed price after the scope call.
After our 30-minute scope call you get a written, milestone-tagged, fixed-price proposal in 48 hours. No mystery line items, no surprise change orders.
MVP in 6 weeks. Demos every Friday.
Sprint one ships real production code, not setup theatre. You see real progress every 7 days. You always know exactly where we are.
Production-grade from day one.
Real auth, real payments, real database design, real tests. The boring infrastructure that turns a demo into a business. Lovable, Bolt, v0 skip this. We don't.
Built for what comes after launch.
Tests, monitoring, runbook, observability, deploy pipeline. So you don't get paged at 2am the day after launch. So the first 1,000 users don't break it.
Code you can hand off.
Documented, tested, repo you own. Fire us tomorrow and your next dev isn't lost. We've handed off projects to internal teams cleanly. Many times.
From first call to live software in 6 weeks.
30-min scope call
We talk through what you're building, who it's for, and what 'done' looks like. By the end of the call we know whether we're a fit and what the rough scope is.
Fixed-price proposal
Within 48 hours you get a milestone-tagged, fixed-price written proposal. What we build, what we cut, what we keep from prior work. No mystery line items.
Build sprint
Sponge Labs PM runs the weekly demos. Webgurus senior team writes the code. You see real progress every Friday. Slack-first, async-friendly.
Launch + 30 days support
Production deploy, docs, runbook, observability. Your team owns it from day one. We stick around 30 days to fix what your first users find.
