Scope and decide
Choose the first user journey and defer the rest. Define the fixed price, timeline, acceptance checks, and buyer responsibilities before development starts.
Your engineering multiplier
Launch your MVP. Own what comes next.
Senior engineering for nontechnical founders: turn one valuable user journey into a usable production release, with a defined project price and custom-code handoff. Extend an existing product or automate operations when that is the next constraint.
Direct answer
What Somnio services cover
Start with general MVP development for a first product. We define scope, build, test against agreed requirements, deploy, and hand off source code and documentation. General price and timeline are scoped individually.
Your engineering multiplier combines senior technical decisions with delivery capacity—not a guaranteed output multiple. AI-assisted engineering supports delivery without requiring AI product features. AI MVPs remain a specialization; Laravel development, team extension, architecture consulting, PWAs, and workflow automation support existing products and operations.
| Service path | Operational bottleneck | Proof point | Next step |
|---|---|---|---|
| AI consulting and automation | Manual data entry, intake routing, recurring reports, and disconnected handoffs. | CRM estimates 960–1,920 annual hours saved (rounded extrapolation); CateredFit documents an 88% routing-cost reduction. | View packages |
| Laravel development | Portals, dashboards, APIs, business logic, ecommerce workflows, and maintainable backends. | POS transactions ran 60% faster after queue and database architecture work. | Plan Laravel work |
| PWA/mobile workflows | Offline-ready mobile access for field, production, and internal operations. | Replacing two native apps with one PWA cut maintenance costs by 95%. | Read PWA proof |
| General MVP development | A founder needs a usable first release, clear price, senior decisions, and handoff. | Offer: scoped launch and custom-code ownership subject to payment and licenses; not a historical founder-MVP result. | See MVP offer |
| CTO and architecture | Reliability, deployment risk, vendor selection, performance bottlenecks, and technical decisions. | High-availability changes produced 100% measured uptime for 12 months. | Review reliability |
A launch you can build on
Build, test, deploy
Use weekly demos to see progress. Test agreed requirements and deploy the production release. Architecture supports scoped workloads and future iterations, not unlimited scale.
Hand off and choose
Receive custom source code, documentation, and deployment notes. Continue with Somnio, your team, or another developer. An optional retainer is not required.
Upon full payment, you own custom code developed specifically for the project. Open-source and third-party components retain their licenses; pre-existing tools are subject to the agreement. Hosting, APIs, and third-party costs are separate unless included explicitly. The signed agreement controls final ownership and warranty terms.
For 30 days after delivery, Somnio will correct verified defects at no charge when custom code does not function as specified in the agreed requirements. New features, changed requirements, and third-party service changes are excluded. Maintenance and further development are separately scoped.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our software development services
We serve a wide range of industries including government agencies, healthcare, food service, nonprofits, real estate, and startups. Our Laravel and Vue.js expertise translates across industries — we focus on building reliable, scalable software regardless of sector.
General MVP price and timeline are scoped individually. Focused AI MVP guidance starts at $20K with a 12-week target for qualifying scopes only. Your proposal defines milestones, dependencies, and launch criteria.
For 30 days after delivery, Somnio will correct verified defects at no charge when custom code does not function as specified in the agreed requirements. New features, changed requirements, and third-party service changes are excluded. An optional retainer for separately scoped maintenance or development is not required for ownership or continuing with another developer. The signed agreement controls final terms.
Absolutely. We regularly embed with existing teams as additional developers or as fractional CTO to provide technical leadership. We adapt to your existing workflows, code standards, and tools — whether that means pair programming, code reviews, or architecture guidance.
AI tools assist implementation, testing, and review; senior engineers remain responsible for technical decisions and quality checks. AI-assisted delivery does not require AI product features and is not a guaranteed speed or cost multiplier.
