A slow store loses sales nobody sees.

Customers don't complain: they just leave. That's why we measure before we propose anything, and measure again after every change.

Measured right now in your browser with the Performance API. Google thresholds: LCP ≤ 2.5 s · INP ≤ 200 ms · CLS ≤ 0.1. INP: tap or type something to measure it

These are third-party studies: context, not a promise. Your store has its own numbers, and those are the ones we measure.

Four phases. The last three repeat every month.

  1. 01

    Build

    Your store on the platform that fits your business.

    • Custom architecture, design and implementation
    • Catalog, customer and URL migration without losing SEO
    • Launch with monitoring from day one

    MetricOn-time launch with no traffic loss

  2. 02

    Accelerate

    Under 2.5 s on a mid-range phone.

    • Core Web Vitals in the green for real users
    • Technical SEO: indexing, structured data, internal links
    • Visibility in AI search (ChatGPT, Perplexity)

    MetricYour visitors' LCP · INP · CLS

  3. 03

    Automate

    What your team repeats by hand, the system does.

    • Inventory, pricing and e-invoicing connected
    • Orders, shipping and alerts over WhatsApp
    • Marketplaces and payment gateways in sync

    MetricManual hours saved per month

  4. 04

    Grow

    One measured improvement every month. Not an opinion.

    • A/B conversion tests on key pages
    • SEO content plus email and WhatsApp campaigns
    • A monthly report with decisions, not screenshots

    MetricConversion and revenue per visitor

Monthly plan: 02 → 03 → 04 → 02

Three lines, one laboratory.

Everything we build is connected: the store feeds the data, the data feeds the AI, and the AI works for the store.

  1. A

    Commerce

    Stores that load fast and convert.

    • ShopifyCustom stores, and headless when it makes sense.
    • VTEX IO · FastStoreImplementation and migration for brands that scale.
    • AstroSites and landing pages that load almost instantly.
  2. B

    Software

    What your operation needs and no platform offers.

    • Custom softwarePlatforms, internal dashboards and APIs in Go and TypeScript.
    • AI-built apps, to productionDid your app come out of Lovable, Bolt, Cursor or v0? We secure it, test it and get it ready to grow.
    • IntegrationsERP, e-invoicing, payments, marketplaces and WhatsApp.
  3. C

    Intelligence

    AI that works every day, with human judgment.

    • AI agents and automationSupport, catalog, reports and repetitive tasks, with human approval where it matters.
    • Technical SEO and AI visibilityGet found on Google and in ChatGPT, Perplexity or Gemini.
    • Measurement and continuous improvementOne data-backed improvement every month.

While you sleep, the lab keeps measuring.

We use our own AI agents to watch, audit and maintain what we build. They don't replace judgment, they multiply it. Important decisions always go through a person.

  • 01Latest-generation modelsWe work with the newest models, like Claude, GPT and Gemini, and pick the right one for each task.
  • 02Agents that keep watchPerformance, errors, prices and stock checked daily, with alerts when something changes.
  • 03Human in the loopNothing reaches your customers or spends your money without approval.

Pick the platform for your business, not for the hype.

We work with three because they cover almost every case. If you're already on another one, we audit it and tell you, with numbers, whether migrating is worth it.

Let the store do the repetitive work.

We're backend engineers first. Connecting your store to the rest of your operation is where we save you the most time and the most mistakes.

    Is your project next?

    We'll measure your store or app for free. If the diagnosis helps, let's talk.

Laiton means brass. Labs means laboratory.

Material
Brass (fr. laiton)
Alloy
Cu + Zn
Use
Precision instruments

In French, laiton is brass: the metal of precision instruments, of scales you read without guessing. And a laboratory is where you test before you promise. That's how we work: with the newest technology, and with measurements in plain sight.

Behind it is Stiven Laiton, a software engineer with more than six years building backends in Go and Node.js, frontends in React and Next.js, and stores on VTEX IO and Shopify. That's why speed and integrations aren't outsourced: they're built in-house.

Bogotá, Colombia · working remotely with the Americas and Spain

What people always ask us.

01 Do you work outside Colombia?

Yes. We work remotely with brands in Colombia, Latin America, the US and Spain, and quote in Colombian pesos, US dollars or euros. Our time zone (UTC-5) overlaps with all of the Americas and with the afternoon in Spain.

02 Which platform is right for me?

It depends on the size of your catalog, your integrations and your team. The diagnosis tells you, with reasons; we don't take commissions from any platform.

03 I already have a store. Do I need to rebuild it?

Almost never. Usually we speed up and fix what you already have. We only recommend migrating when the numbers justify it.

04 I built my app with AI and I'm stuck. Can you help?

Yes. We review the code that Lovable, Bolt, Cursor or v0 generated: security (exposed keys, database permissions), performance, tests and deployment. We tell you what can be saved and get it ready for real users.

05 How do you use artificial intelligence?

To build faster, to audit and monitor what we deliver, and inside your operation when it helps: support, catalog, reports. Always with a person reviewing what reaches your customers.

06 What happens after launch?

You can stay on the growth plan (performance, SEO, support and one measured improvement a month) or take everything, fully documented, for your own team to maintain.

07 Do you run ads and social media?

It's not our focus. We focus on making the store convert and keeping the traffic you already have. If you need ads, we'll recommend who to work with.

08 How do you guarantee performance?

On projects we commit to a mobile score of 90 or higher on key pages. If we don't hit it, we keep working at no cost until we do.
