Axis by Flat 18

Launch a polished MVP in weeks. Fixed scope, fixed price.

Axis is a small, senior team building investor-ready design and production code. We’re new, operate transparently, and ship fast using proven patterns.

Created by the team at Flat 18.

Building your first product shouldn’t drain time or trust.

  • Slipping timelines and unclear scope
  • Design that looks unfinished
  • Code you can’t confidently ship or hand over

How we work

— Fixed scope and transparent pricing

— Wireframes in days, weekly demos thereafter

— Production-grade code, clean handover, monitoring at launch

A four-step path to live

The same rhythm we follow on every engagement—clear, paced, and accountable.

Kickoff

Align scope and priorities within 48 hours.

Commitment: Summary plan and timeline shared before work begins.

Design

Clickable wireframes and key screens in days.

Commitment: Feedback session booked as soon as the prototype is ready.

Build

Iterative shipping with weekly demos.

Commitment: Reviewed code, version control, and documented changelog.

Launch

Deploy, monitor, and hand over cleanly.

Commitment: Launch checklist, monitoring hooks, and handover pack delivered.

We demo progress every week. No surprises.

Work that shows how we build

Reference demos and Flat 18 work that demonstrate our approach to product, polish, and handover.

Still have questions?

Quick answers to the common objections we hear from founders before they commit.

Do you build from templates?

No. We design the UI for your use-case and use proven components where it helps speed and reliability.

Who owns the code?

You do. We hand over repos and credentials at launch.

Can you work with my existing backend?

Yes, if it’s documented and stable. We’ll assess during kickoff.

How long does a typical project take?

Weeks, not months. We scope with you and keep to an agreed plan.

What tech stack do you use?

Modern, widely-supported tools (e.g. React/Next.js, TypeScript, Postgres). We select pragmatically.

Can you show references?

Yes. We’re new as Axis, so we share what’s appropriate from the team’s prior work on request.
