Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, Replit — they get you a working demo astonishingly fast. Then you hit real users: broken auth, failing webhooks, exposed keys, payments that won't clear. That's the part we do. Send your app in and we'll tell you exactly what's standing between you and launch.
Everything looks finished until someone other than you tries to use it. These are the five things we see on almost every AI-built app:
Login "works" but anyone can reach anyone's data. No proper sessions, no row-level security, roles half-wired.
API keys and tokens hard-coded in the front end or committed to the repo — a breach waiting to happen.
Stripe checkout fires but the webhook never lands, so subscriptions and access never actually update.
OAuth loops, Supabase policies blocking reads, third-party calls failing silently in production.
Runs on your machine, falls over the moment it's live — env vars, build errors, the wall you can't get past.
The structure the AI chose quietly breaks the moment you have more than a handful of users.
Make IT Simple has spent over two decades building SaaS platforms and business applications for medium and large companies. We've founded, scaled and sold software companies ourselves — so we know the difference between a demo that impresses and a product that survives real customers.
"AI can write the code. It can't tell you which 20% will get you sued, breached, or stuck at the payment screen. That's the bit we've done a hundred times."
— Make IT Simple · Trusted. Proven. Simple.
Start with a free triage. From there, whether you want us to fix it, teach you, or take it all the way to launch — there's a clear path.
A proper look under the bonnet. We review your app's security, architecture and everything blocking launch, then hand you a clear written report and walk you through it.
We get in and make it production-ready. Fixed-scope, fixed-price, agreed up front — no open-ended meter running.
You want to keep driving — we ride shotgun. Screen-share pairing, debugging together, and straight answers to "how do I actually do this properly?"
Ongoing senior back-up for solo founders — a few hours a week of reviews, guidance and steady hands so you keep shipping without going off the rails.
Prices in GBP, excluding VAT. Not sure which you need? Send your app in — the triage is free and we'll point you to the right one.
Share a link or repo and tell us what's stuck. Takes two minutes.
Within one working day we tell you what's wrong and how big a job it is.
Assessment, a fix, coaching, or ongoing help — your call, clear pricing.
We do the last 20% properly and you go live with confidence.
Tell us what you've built and where you're stuck. We'll come back within one working day with an honest read on what it'll take to get you live — no obligation.
