The Notus Information

The Notus is a product studio and fractional CTO practice for founders and operators who need real production work, not another retainer. Two service pillars: Apps to Production (from $7,500). Stuck AI-built MVPs taken to production. We work with Lovable, Cursor, Bolt.new, Replit, v0, Windsurf, and Claude Code. Fixed price, fixed scope, three to four weeks. Real auth, payments, AI cost controls, security and performance passes, and a maintainable codebase. Custom Sites & Rebuilds (from $4,000). Productized site rebuilds from Webflow, WordPress, Squarespace, and Wix to custom Astro on Cloudflare. Every site ships with an AI-editable handoff: a tuned CLAUDE.md, preview deploys, one-click rollback, and a plain-English walkthrough, so the client keeps editing through Claude or Cursor after launch without a developer on retainer. Brand, design, and engineering from one in-house team. Clean, structured markup baked in, so people and AI tools can read the site. Four products shipped end-to-end, two of them our own: - Song Cage (our own). Songwriting app on web, iOS, Android, and inside DAWs from one React codebase. 92 signups in month one with zero ad spend, and cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude within seven days of launch. - The Curious Thing (our own). AI-personalized photo puzzles for kids: an uploaded photo becomes an AI fantasy portrait, then a printed jigsaw shipped to the door. - Cardify (client). AI trading-card marketplace with a custom multi-model image pipeline, real-time Three.js 3D card previews, and Stripe-backed payments. - Pulse (client). AI business-intelligence across 107 topic verticals, a custom multi-model pipeline in production. Paused by its founder in mid-2026.
