Yes. Deploying AI-built projects is a core Spotlight Links service, and it's become one of the most common ways clients find us: the app works on localhost, the AI assistant that built it can't get it over the line, and weeks are passing.
A typical AI-built app goes from localhost to live in about a week — on your own domain, in accounts you own, with a fixed quote before we start.
What the week looks like
Days 1–2 — audit and fix. We read your repo and fix the localhost assumptions: hardcoded secrets moved to environment variables, the production build made to pass, local database mapped to a managed one, localhost URLs rooted out. These same seven failures appear in almost every AI-built project, so this phase is fast.
Days 3–4 — infrastructure in your name. Hosting, managed database with backups, domain and SSL, transactional email with your domain verified so mail actually delivers. Every account is registered to you, credentials handed over as they're created.
Day 5 — live and findable. Deployed, monitored, error alerts on. Analytics, Search Console, sitemap, metadata, and structured data wired in — because a deployed app nobody can find is localhost with a hosting bill.
You get a walkthrough at the end: where everything lives, how to change it, what it costs monthly to run.
What it costs
A fixed quote after we look at the repo — deployment scope is readable from the code, so there's no hourly meter. Your infrastructure costs (hosting, database, domain) are paid by you directly to the providers and are typically modest; we'll list them with real numbers before you commit.
If your project turns out to be a static site that free-tier hosting can serve in three clicks, we'll tell you that on the call, walk you through it, and you'll owe nothing.
What can extend the timeline
Honest edges, stated up front:
- Payments or sensitive data. Card flows and personal-data handling get a security pass before real users touch them. Worth the extra days, every time.
- Genuine architectural problems. Rare, but sometimes an AI made a choice that can't survive real traffic. If so, we name the specific problem, you can verify it independently, and we quote the rework separately — we don't rebuild things that don't need rebuilding.
- Waiting on you. Domain transfers and account approvals move at their providers' pace.
Do you need to rebuild my code "properly" first?
Almost never, and be suspicious of anyone who leads with that. AI-built application code is mostly production-viable; the gap is configuration and infrastructure, not your features. Where something genuinely needs rework, we'll point at the exact thing rather than gesturing at "code quality."
Whose accounts does everything live in?
Yours. Hosting, domain, database, repo — registered in your name, from day one, in writing. If we disappeared the day after launch, you'd have everything.
