A studio with a clock

Build in five days.
Or build every month.

Vestara ships a live product for a public price. Nine hundred ninety-nine dollars and five working days. Or an unlimited engineering membership for $1,999 a month — the cost of one hesitant hire, without the wait.

Next five-day start: Monday. Unlimited seats are capped so the queue actually moves.

Five-day MVP

$999 one sprint

Monday you lock the wedge. Friday a real URL is in your hands — designed, built, and deployed. Not a deck. Not a prototype that dies in Figma.

  • One core user journey, live on the web
  • Interface, logic, and a production deploy
  • Auth, waitlist, or payments if the product needs them
  • Source in your repo. You own it on payment.
  • If we miss Friday, we keep working at no extra charge

VE-UNL Monthly

Unlimited Dev

$1,999 per month

A senior builder on your product, every weekday. Unlimited requests, one in flight. Landings, features, dashboards, fixes — without opening a role or briefing an agency.

  • Unlimited queued requests, one active at a time
  • Weekday shipping. Same-day pickup on most tasks
  • Shared Slack or async. Daily written status
  • Web apps, marketing sites, admin, integrations
  • Pause or cancel before the next billing date

The five-day clock

A week with a finish line.

We do not hold discovery workshops that eat the calendar. Scope is locked before the clock starts. Then we build like the launch date is already printed.

  1. Mon · Day 1

    Scope lock

    Wedge, users, must-haves. Everything else is a later ticket. You approve the cut by end of day.

  2. Tue · Day 2

    Core build

    Scaffold, data, the one path that makes this a product. You get a staging URL overnight.

  3. Wed · Day 3

    Flows & data

    Empty states, errors, the second screen people actually need. Copy is real, not lorem.

  4. Thu · Day 4

    Harden

    Design pass, mobile, edge cases, analytics. We break it so your first user doesn't.

  5. Fri · Day 5

    Ship

    Production deploy, domain, handoff notes, a 30-minute walkthrough. The job ticket closes.

Unlimited, in practice

A bench, not a black box.

“Unlimited” here is not a slogan. It is a queue we refuse to stall. You send work. We take the next piece. When it ships, we take the one after that. No tickets rotting in a backlog you pay for anyway.

  • Cadence One active request. Unlimited behind it. Typical landing page: 1–2 days. Typical feature: 2–5 days. You always know what is in flight.
  • Who builds A senior product engineer who can design the interface, write the code, and ship it. You are not passed between juniors and account managers.
  • Stack Modern web: React/Next, static sites, Node, typical SaaS backends, Stripe, auth, CMS. If a tool is wrong for the job, we say so before burning a week.
  • Money $1,999 billed monthly. Pause on a day’s notice before renewal. No six-month trap. Compared with a $12k–$18k/mo hire, this is capacity you can turn off.

Fit

Who this is for.

Vestara is a door for people who already know what they want to put in the world, and are tired of quotes that start at twelve weeks.

Start a job if

  • You can name the one thing the first user must complete
  • You would rather ship a sharp wedge than a slide of “phase two”
  • You need a builder on tap without opening a role
  • You want the repo, the domain, and the keys in your name
  • You will answer questions the same day during a sprint

Do not start if

  • The brief is “build Uber, but for X,” with no cut
  • You need five workstreams in parallel
  • You want a 40-page spec before a line of product exists
  • You need us to invent the company, the brand, and the market
  • You expect App Store review inside five days

The honest math

What you would spend instead.

Agencies sell process. Hiring sells hope. Vestara sells a date and a price you can screenshot.

Path Time to live product Typical cost You keep
Traditional agency 8–16 weeks after kickoff $20k–$80k Decks, a project manager, a repo if you fight for it
Full-time hire 2–4 months to first useful month $12k–$18k / month loaded A person. Ramp. Management. Notice periods.
Freelance patchwork Unknown $80–$200 / hour Whatever still compiles when they vanish
Vestara Five-day MVP 5 working days $999 once Live URL, source, a product you can put in front of users
Vestara Unlimited Continuous, weekday shipping $1,999 / month, pausable A studio on the other end of Slack

Straight answers

Before you send the brief.

What do I actually get for $999?

A production web product with one complete journey: the screens, the logic, and a live deploy. If the product needs signup, a waitlist, or Stripe to be real, that is in scope. You get the repository, a short handoff, and a walkthrough on Friday. You do not get a native mobile app, a marketplace with five actors, or a six-month roadmap crammed into a week.

What if my idea is bigger than five days?

We cut it with you on Monday — or before, on the intake call. The sprint ships the wedge that can win a user. Everything else becomes a backlog you can run on Unlimited, or take in-house. If we cannot see a honest Friday, we will not take the $999.

Is Unlimited really unlimited?

Unlimited requests, one in flight. That is how the work stays fast. You can queue as many items as you want. We do not context-switch across five half-built features to make a dashboard look busy. Pause any month you do not need the bench.

Who writes the code?

A senior product engineer at Vestara. Design and engineering sit in the same hands, which is why a five-day clock is possible. You will not be handed to a rotating bench of juniors.

Do I own the intellectual property?

Yes. On payment, the code, the interface, and the production project are yours. We may reuse generic internal tooling; we do not reuse your product.

How do we start?

Pay on PayPal in the job ticket. Five-day MVP is $999, charged in full. Unlimited is $1,999 for the first month, charged in full; later months are billed the same way. The amount is set on our server, not in the browser. If we decline the brief, we refund the PayPal charge. After payment we reply within one business day with a start date.

What if Friday slips?

Then we keep building on our clock until the URL is live, at no extra charge — provided you answered questions the same day and did not expand scope after the Monday lock. If you add scope, we either extend Unlimited-style or recut the wedge.

Open a ticket

Name the product. Name the date.

Tell us the wedge, the user, and which door you want. If it fits, the next sprint starts Monday. If you want the bench, we will tell you when a seat is free.
