“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 process for Malibu clients pairs AI-assisted architecture, frontend and backend implementation, and testing with hands-on senior engineering review at every step. That combination lets us compress a build timeline that would traditionally stretch across months into a matter of weeks, without cutting corners on performance or reliability.
We move from requirements to a working prototype quickly and iterate with you in short, visible cycles rather than a long, opaque development phase. Continuous integration and automated testing run throughout the build, catching issues early rather than after launch.
From booking platforms for hospitality and wellness businesses to client-facing tools for real estate and entertainment professionals, we build web applications that perform reliably across every device your customers use, wherever they happen to be along the coast. AI moves the implementation forward quickly; senior engineers make sure what ships holds up.
[Deliverables]
Bespoke web applications for Malibu businesses, built by senior engineers using AI-accelerated development to shorten the timeline without shortening the feature set. We handle the full lifecycle, from architecture to cloud deployment and post-launch support.
Booking and reservation systems for hospitality, wellness, and event-driven Malibu businesses, built to handle real customer volume reliably. AI-enabled development speeds up implementation while our engineers keep ownership of security and performance.
UI/UX design tuned to Malibu's aesthetic and the expectations of its clientele. We use AI-assisted prototyping to get working screens in front of you fast, in a real browser, so design decisions get made early, before engineering time is committed to the wrong direction.
[FAQs]
Our published tiers anchor the range: prototypes start at $6,000 and full MVPs at $15,000. Our AI-enabled process typically brings a custom web app build to around $20,000 all-in, well under the roughly $200,000 a traditional agency might quote for comparable, fully custom work. AI reduces the manual hours spent on scaffolding and testing, and that efficiency gets passed directly to the client.
Most projects take about 6 weeks with our team, compared to the industry-typical 6 months. AI-assisted scaffolding and testing let senior engineers move through a build far faster than manual development alone, while still reviewing every line before it ships.
We choose the stack based on what your product needs rather than a single default. That typically means a modern JavaScript or TypeScript frontend, a backend and database architecture sized to your traffic, and deployment on cloud infrastructure built for uptime. AI accelerates implementation; senior engineers own the architecture.
Off-the-shelf booking and website platforms are fast to start but limit how your brand can look, feel, and grow. A custom web application, built efficiently with AI-enabled development, gives you full control over the experience at a cost that's now much closer to the off-the-shelf option.
[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.
