Client results

Results in their words.

David built our entire Discord marketplace from scratch: ticket system, escrow, AI moderation, the whole thing. We went from 0 to 2,000 members and $10K revenue in three months. The bots run 24/7 without issues.

We needed a modern platform that handled sensitive title and settlement data properly. David delivered a full admin panel, contact management, and order tracking in three weeks. The attention to compliance details, including fraud warnings, attorney routing, and disclosure language, saved us from problems we didn’t even know we had.

Most developers give you a template and call it custom. David actually listened to how we recruit agents, understood the dual-path model, and built a site that converts. The design feels premium without looking like every other real estate site.

We needed a website that matched the precision of our photonics products. David delivered a cinematic dark-mode site with 3D product visualizations and an ROI calculator. The Three.js scenes load in under 3 seconds.

The honest version

One studio vs. the alternatives.

Agencies split context across teams. Marketplaces split your project across vendors. MGT keeps everything under one roof, one developer, one sprint.

Option

Agency

Timeline3 to 6 months
Cost$15K to $100K+

The reality

  • 5+ people, context lost in every handoff
  • Website, bot, and server are 3 separate contracts
  • Siloed teams with no cross-system integration
  • Change requests billed hourly
  • Delivered late, over budget, with gaps you fill

You pay for the overhead.

Recommended

Option

MGT Studio

Timeline1 to 8 weeks
Cost$199 to $4,999

The reality

  • One developer, full context, start to finish
  • Website + bot + server shipped in one sprint
  • Everything talks to everything by design
  • Fixed price, scope signed before any code
  • Regal Title expected 3 months, got 3 weeks

You pay for the output.

Option

Freelancer Marketplace

TimelineUnpredictable
Cost$5K+ and you manage 3 vendors

The reality

  • Random dev starts from zero every time
  • Each piece quoted and scoped separately
  • You wire all the integrations yourself
  • Communication drops off after deposit
  • No testing, no CI/CD, no monitoring

You pay for the gamble.

Next.js + Tailwind + Prisma

The MGT default web stack. Marketing sites, SaaS apps, internal tools, admin panels. Ships fast, scales far.

1–3 weeks

Why this stack

Next.js App Router + Tailwind v4 is where 80% of MGT's web work lives. Vercel deploy is zero-config, preview URLs are free, and paid SaaS (Clerk, Stripe, Resend) drops in without glue code.

When not to use it

If the project is inherently real-time collaborative or you need WebRTC at scale, a separate service (Partykit, Liveblocks) on top is the right call. Not the main backend.

Ballpark in 30 seconds

Not a binding quote. An honest ballpark from the same math MGT uses during scope calls. Deep-linkable so every selection updates the URL and the full /estimate wizard can pick up where you left off.

This isn't a binding quote. Real scope shifts after the 20-minute call. Range typically lands within ±25% of this number.

How it works

From call to live URL.

01Day 1

30-minute call

You tell me what you need. I ask about workflows, not features. Who uses it, what breaks without it, what does success look like. No sales pitch.

Output

Scope doc within 48 hours

02Day 2 to 3

One-page scope doc

Plain English. What I build, what I don't, what you provide (content, domain, DNS), and the fixed price. You sign it. That's the contract. No 30-page SOW.

Output

50% deposit, then I start

03Week 1+

Daily preview links

You get a live Vercel preview URL updated daily. Click through it on your phone. Give feedback on real software, not mockups. No 'imagine this on mobile.'

Output

Working software you can touch

04Final week

Ship + 30 days support

Production deploy with monitoring. You confirm it matches the scope doc, then pay the remaining 50%. I stay available for 30 days post-launch for any issues.

Output

Live URL, your domain, done

Build in Public

Real numbers. No vanity metrics.

Every project, every dollar, every deploy. Tracked and published because transparency is part of how MGT operates.
