DHAHAB Studio · Productized Services

Three problems every early founder has. One studio that fixes them.

DHAHAB Studio is one engineer, three fixed-scope builds: a launch site live in about a week, a security audit reported in 48 hours, and an AI automation with a QC gate on it.

Built for pre-seed and early founders — not enterprises, not agencies — who need one of those three problems solved before their next customer or investor call. Next step: leave an email below and say which one; a reply schedules a scope call, and nothing is billed until price and timeline are agreed on it.

Both offers started as favors — a friend's freight brokerage drowning in back-office email, a founder who didn't know a live Stripe key was sitting in a public repo. Those became FreightDesk AI and DIRA. This is the same work, productized. The person who scopes it is the person who builds it and the person who answers your email.

Currently onboarding a limited founding cohort. Pricing is quoted per project on the scope call, not listed here · nothing is billed before that call.

Not sure which of the three you need? Leave your email and say so in the reply — I'll tell you which one fits, or that none of them do.

01 / LAUNCH SITE

A site that's live before your first customer call.

A conversion-ready landing page or small site, built and deployed in about a week — the same black-and-gold, no-cheap-templates standard as this portfolio, DIRA's page, and FreightDesk AI's page.

Copy written for conversion, not filler — one clear offer, one clear CTA Custom design in your brand (or the DHAHAB black/gold system if you don't have one yet) SEO fundamentals baked in: meta tags, Open Graph cards, JSON-LD structured data, sitemap entry Deployed to your domain or GitHub Pages/Vercel — you leave with a live URL, not a Figma file

Founding cohort only. One reply to schedule a scope call — no payment collected here.

Timeline

About one week from the scope call to a deployed, live site.

Who it's for

Pre-seed and early founders who need a credible site before their first customer or investor conversation, don't have a designer on hand, and don't want an agency retainer.

Pricing

On request — quoted after scope, locked in for founding-cohort spots.

02 / SHIELD AUDIT

Know what's leaking before an enterprise customer finds it.

A startup security audit powered by DIRA, the open-source scanner I built and maintain — secrets, dependency CVEs, config/IaC misconfigurations, and the live domain's TLS and headers, all in one pass.

Full scan: leaked secrets, dependency CVEs via OSV.dev, config/IaC misconfig rules, git-history leaks, live TLS & security headers A scored report — security grade plus a startup-readiness percentage, not just a raw bug list A prioritized fix plan in plain English, with the exact remediation next to every finding Safe auto-remediation applied where it's genuinely safe to automate; everything else stays a documented manual step

Founding cohort only. One reply to schedule a scope call — no payment collected here.

Timeline

Scan runs same-day; the scored report and fix plan land within 48 hours.

Who it's for

Founders about to face an enterprise security questionnaire or an acquisition diligence checklist, or who just want to know what's exposed before somebody else does.

Pricing

On request — the underlying scanner (DIRA) is free and open source; this is the guided report, fix plan, and remediation pass on top of it.

Do it yourself first

The free guide 18 things to fix before your first real user covers the same checklist at self-serve depth. Run it, then bring what you find to the audit.

03 / AUTOMATION BUILD

The busywork, automated — with a leash on it.

An AI/agent workflow automation built the way FreightDesk AI was: a drafting pipeline, a QC gate that catches bad output before a human sees it, and a scheduled job that runs on its own — never a black box that sends things unsupervised unless you say so. The tradeoffs behind what to automate first, and what should stay human-reviewed, are covered in the AI automation guide for small businesses.

The workflow mapped end to end — what gets read, what gets decided, what gets drafted A drafting pipeline on a local model or an API model, with one-click approval by default A QC gate that quarantines bad drafts instead of letting them through A scheduled job wired up to run on its own, plus a runbook: what it does, how to change it, how to turn it off

Founding cohort only. One reply to schedule a scope call — no payment collected here.

Timeline

1–2 weeks depending on scope — a single workflow is faster than a multi-step pipeline. Firm date set on the scope call.

Who it's for

Small teams or solo operators buried in repetitive email or data busywork who want it handled without hiring, without another per-seat SaaS tool, and — where it matters — without their data leaving their own machine.

Pricing

On request — quoted after the workflow is scoped.

How It Works

Four steps, no surprises

Request

Pick an offer above and leave an email. That's it — no form fields to guess your budget from.

Scope call

A short call to confirm the real problem, the timeline, and the price. Nothing is billed here.

Build

Built solo, on the timeline agreed on the call, with progress you can actually see.

Deliver & handoff

You get the live site, the report, or the running automation — plus what you need to run it without me.

Before You Request An Invite

The three things people ask

Answered here so nobody has to spend an email finding out.

FAQ

Common questions

How much do these cost?

Scoped per project and quoted on the call — a launch site and a multi-step automation cost different things to build correctly, so there is no fixed menu price here. Founding-cohort spots lock in pricing before it opens publicly.

How fast can you start?

Launch Site: about a week to live. Shield Audit: 48 hours to the report. Automation Build: 1–2 weeks depending on scope, with a firm date set on the call.

What if my project doesn't fit these three?

Say so in the invite request. If it's a good fit for a solo builder, it gets scoped the same way; if it isn't, you'll hear that honestly instead of a pitch.

Is this an agency?

No — one person scopes, builds, and ships every engagement, the same way DIRA and FreightDesk AI were built. No account manager, no subcontractor you've never met.

Do you take payment before the scope call?

No. Requesting an invite only opens a conversation. Nothing is billed until scope, timeline, and price are agreed on the call.

Why should I trust a solo builder with this?

Because the work is checkable rather than claimed. DIRA is MIT-licensed and public at v1.5.0 with 208 passing tests and zero dependencies. FreightDesk AI covers a brokerage's back-office workflows with a passing regression suite and was built against a real freight brokerage's live inbox. This site is 100+ pages and three installable offline apps, all shipped solo. Every figure links to where it came from.

Founding cohort is open now

One field. It opens a conversation and nothing else — no payment, no call booked until you want one.
