“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 Newport Beach 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 corners a finance or professional services 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 and get resolved early, well before anything reaches a client-facing environment handling real financial or personal data.
Newport Beach clients expect precision, and 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 entire application, from the database layer to what a client sees in their browser.
[Deliverables]
Custom web applications built for Newport Beach businesses by senior engineers using AI-accelerated development. We deliver high-performance, secure applications optimized for the specific demands of your firm and clientele, from architecture through launch.
Web applications for finance and wealth management firms that need to handle sensitive client data with real security and precision. Our AI-enabled process shortens the build cycle while our engineers stay hands-on with architecture, access control, and long-term maintainability.
Enterprise web application integration for Newport Beach companies that need robust connections to existing financial systems and infrastructure. AI-assisted implementation speeds up delivery while senior engineers retain full ownership of security and performance.
[FAQs]
A typical custom web app build with our AI-enabled process runs around $20,000, compared to the roughly $200,000 an agency using a fully manual process might quote for comparable scope, without compromising on the security or precision a finance-adjacent firm requires.
We build access control, encryption, and secure data handling into the architecture from day one, treated as a core requirement rather than an add-on. Senior engineers own every security-relevant decision, with AI accelerating the surrounding implementation and testing work around it.
Most projects ship in about 6 weeks, compared to the 6-month timeline common at traditional shops. AI-assisted development lets our senior engineers move through implementation and testing far faster, while still reviewing every piece of the build before it goes live.
We start with discovery to nail down requirements, move into AI-assisted architecture and prototyping, then build in short iterative cycles with your feedback built in. Senior engineers review every stage, and continuous testing runs throughout, so you see steady, verifiable progress rather than a single reveal at the end.
[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.
