Frequently asked questions

Tasty Maker Studio is a boutique product inception studio for early-stage web and product launches. We're a curated cooperative, not a marketplace and not a traditional agency, so you get senior-level people who actually know each other and work together, without the overhead or slow timelines of a big shop, and without the risk of a single freelancer disappearing mid-project.

Every project is guided by experienced developers who've spent years turning vague ideas into working software. That experience means knowing which questions to ask before you even know to ask them, and catching what a project actually needs before it becomes a costly surprise later. We use AI to move fast, but judgment like that stays human, from your first conversation to the last line of code.

Landing Page, Prototype, and MVP aren't three separate products, they're stages of one funnel, and you can enter wherever your idea already is. Landing Page proves people are interested. Prototype proves the experience actually works, letting real users or investors react before you've built any real backend. MVP proves the core mechanic, the one thing your product actually does, works in the real world with real users and real data, and that mechanic becomes the seed of everything you build afterward. Each stage also lowers risk and cost for the next one. If we've already built your prototype, we understand the mechanic inside and out, so building the real version means refining something we've already proven, not starting from zero.

A single landing page with your story, copy, and imagery ready can launch in under a week, sometimes in as little as 48 hours of work. Without those assets ready, or across multiple pages, two to three weeks is more typical, since we're building the story and the visuals alongside the site. Prototype and MVP timelines become predictable after discovery, once a completed spec lets us move quickly and check in at defined milestones. We'll give you a specific number after that first conversation.

Yes, deliberately and transparently. Our developers built software long before AI existed, so they know what correct, working results actually look like, not just what looks plausible. That experience is what stays in the loop, translating what you actually need into what gets built, rather than a fully autonomous black box guessing at it.

No. Part of the point of the studio is translating your goals into the right technical decisions, so you can stay focused on your business.

Every project includes a defined post-launch window, 30 days of active monitoring for Landing Page, 90 days under warranty for MVP, so we catch anything that breaks early on. Beyond that, we're not looking to become your standing dev team. Instead, we hand off real documentation and clean architecture, so if your project grows into a real business, any development team can pick it up and build on what's already there. If you want us specifically to keep making changes, that's available as scoped hours or packages, entirely your choice, not something we assume you need.

Landing Page work starts at $2,500, Prototype at $4,000, and MVP at $13,000. Where you land depends on scope and complexity — our pricing page breaks down exactly what moves the number for each tier.

For Landing Pages, yes. Your first year of hosting is included, and after that it continues for a yearly fee based on what we're hosting. Prototype and MVP work differently, since those often run real infrastructure, databases, AI connections, third-party services, that only makes sense for you to own directly. We host it just long enough to prove it's working, then hand off the code and everything running underneath it so you or your team take it from there.

Yes. Ongoing SEO support is available either through the same scoped hours or packages used for post-launch changes, or as its own separate engagement, depending on what fits your needs. Some of our team members specialize specifically in search optimization, and we can bring that expertise in whenever you're ready for it.
