The base · Australian-hosted · plain English
You build it.
We make it safe to run.
Every app needs the same things underneath: somewhere reliable to live, logins, backups, security, and each customer's information kept private. We set it up properly once, and look after it from then on.

What's in it
The part most people never see, done properly.
It's the part that matters most on the day something goes wrong. All of it comes set up, in Australia, and we keep it running.
- Hosting
- Professional cloud servers, there at any hour on any device.
- Monitoring
- Checked day and night. We hear about problems before you do.
- Backups
- Copied to a separate safe place, and restores are practised.
- Version history
- Every change saved, so any update can be undone.
- Updates
- Security fixes applied for you, checked so nothing breaks.
- Logins
- A login for everyone, with two-step sign-in. No shared passwords.
- Privacy
- Each customer's information walled off from everyone else's.
- Encryption
- Locked on the way and at rest. The padlock never lapses.
- Attack protection
- Bots and password-guessers filtered out before they reach you.
- Your domain
- Your own web address, with emails recognised as really from you.
How it works
Three steps, then keep building.

- We set up the baseHosting, logins, backups and security, done properly for what you're building. Usually within five business days.
- You keep buildingAdd what you like. We look after everything underneath, and tell you in plain English if anything needs you.

Questions
Before you start.
Do I need to be technical?
No. We explain everything in plain English and handle the technical side. If you can describe what you're building, that's enough.
I built my app with Lovable, Bolt, Cursor or Claude. Does it work with that?
Yes, that's exactly who it's for. AI tools are great at building the app and not so good at the parts that keep it safe: logins, backups, keeping customers' data apart. Tell us what you've made and we'll say how it fits.
Where is my information kept?
In Australia, in Google Cloud's Sydney region. Before any of your information goes in, we tell you in writing every service we use and where it's stored.
Can I leave, and take my information with me?
Yes. Cancel any time and it keeps working to the end of the period you've paid for. You can download your information until then, and we delete it for good 90 days after your plan ends. See the terms.
Would you rather build it for me?
We do that too. Tell us about your day and we'll suggest what to build, with a clear price before anything starts.
