Next-Stage Build · 4 to 8 weeks
Builtforyournextstage
Your business outgrew its website, its spreadsheets and its workarounds. We build what comes next: web apps and websites that let you scale without the chaos. Live on a fixed date, or we keep working for free.
Which one sounds like you?
You already know this morning.
Three orders came in over the weekend. One by email, one on WhatsApp, one on a sticky note from whoever picked up the phone on Saturday.
Somebody types them into the master spreadsheet. The one with 14 tabs, yellow and green cells nobody remembers the meaning of, and a column called FINAL_v3.
By ten, someone asks where an order is. Ana knows. Ana is on holiday.
Tick what's true. If it's three or more, keep reading.
Tick what applies.
Your spreadsheets already have a salary.
5
people who work in the spreadsheets
6 h
each, every week, copying and checking
50
working weeks a year
1,500 h
a year, gone
That's most of a full-time salary, paid to move data between tabs. And every new customer you win makes the number bigger.
So you hire. Then you hire again. The admin grows with the business because the spreadsheet can't. Hiring people to feed a spreadsheet is the most expensive way there is to grow.
Example numbers. On the free call we work out yours.
The Next-Stage Build
One way of working for whatever your business needs next: a system that runs your operations, online ordering and booking for your customers, or a website that actually brings in work. Built around how you work, live on a fixed date.
Three tracks, one way of working.
Operations
Live in8 weeks
An internal web app that replaces spreadsheets, copy-paste and WhatsApp groups. Orders, scheduling, stock, invoicing, reporting.
Customers
Live in8 weeks
Online ordering, booking, reorders and a client portal, connected to the way you already work.
Website
Live in4 weeks
A fast, modern website that shows your best work, answers questions and turns visitors into enquiries.
- 01
Blueprint week
Five days with your team. We map how the work really flows, where time gets lost and where customers drop off. You get a clickable prototype, a fixed scope and the launch date we guarantee.
The worry it kills“What if you build the wrong thing?”
- 02
The build
We build it. Every two weeks you click through a working version on a link your whole team can open.
The worry it kills“How do I know it's actually moving?”
- 03
We move your data and content
Customers, products, prices, texts and photos come across from your spreadsheets and your old website, cleaned and checked. Day one starts full, not empty.
The worry it kills“Our data is a mess.”
- 04
Your team, trained
Live training for every role, plus short recordings they can rewatch. If your team won't use it, it didn't work, so adoption is part of our job.
The worry it kills“My team will never use it.”
- 05
Connected to your tools
Accounting, ERP, email, calendar, the webshop. What we build works with what you already pay for instead of replacing it for the sake of it.
The worry it kills“We already use something else.”
- 06
90-day fix-it window
For three months after launch, anything that breaks gets fixed free, the same day.
The worry it kills“What if it breaks after you leave?”
And you own all of it. The code, the data and every account sit in your name from day one.

Launch day
Team trained, old tools switched off, live.
Nobody opens the spreadsheet anymore.
Weekend orders are already in the system. Customers entered them themselves, or someone logged them once, where everyone can see them.
Someone asks where an order is. They look it up in five seconds. Ana is still on holiday, and nobody had to call her.
Yesterday's numbers are on one screen. You didn't have to ask anyone.
And when a big new customer signs, the first question is no longer who you need to hire.
The tools big companies get, built for businesses your size.
I'm Marian Babić, founder of MaBe Labs. For the last 5+ years I've built software for companies with thousands of employees, as an engineer and project lead in Zagreb, Munich and Amsterdam. Same standards, a business your size, and you deal with me directly.
- Customer supportGrowth without hiring
American companies grew their support without hiring anyone.
I led a team of four building the platform behind a remote support network: agents anywhere in the world answering calls for US companies. Those companies scaled their support without recruiting, training or managing new staff.
- Automotive finance€18k a month saved
€18,000 a month cut from one storage bill.
For the financial-services arm of one of Europe's largest carmakers, I built cloud infrastructure that cut storage costs by €18,000 a month, and the internal portal that kept the company compliant. Monthly audits went from a hunt across systems to one place to look.
- Marketing researchManual work automated
Competitor research that took people hours, now one click.
A research tool where you add a competitor, it goes online, collects every ad they're running and comes back with a finished PDF. Work that people used to do by hand.
- RoboticsReal-time control
Driving a robot live, from a browser.
The web platform that controls one of the world's best-known four-legged robots, with live video and telemetry. If software can drive a robot in real time, it can run your orders.
Built in my roles before MaBe Labs. Client names stay private.
The Live-or-Free Guarantee
Live on the date, or we work for free until it is.
The blueprint week ends with a launch date in writing: 4 weeks for a website, 8 weeks for a customer or operations system. If it isn't live by that date because of us, we keep working at our own cost until it is. No extra invoices. No renegotiating.
In plain words: it covers delays on our side. If you change the scope, or we're waiting on you for access, data or decisions, the date moves by the same number of days, and we tell you the same day it happens.
Every reason this won't work for you.
Who this isn't for
- Pre-revenue startups that need an MVP for investors. We build for businesses that already have customers.
- Anyone shopping for a template website at the lowest price. That's not us.
- Businesses happy with an off-the-shelf tool. If it works, keep it.
