Do real developers use Lovable?

Yes. Professional teams use it to skip boilerplate — scaffolding, auth screens, CRUD views — and spend their time on data modeling, security, integrations and polish. The tool accelerates the work; it does not replace the judgment.

Does Lovable support backend development?

Yes. Apps get a real database with row-level security, user authentication, server-side functions and integrations with services like Stripe, CRMs and email platforms. It is a full-stack setup, not a front-end mockup.

Do I own the code a Lovable developer writes for me?

You should — insist on it. Lovable projects are standard React, TypeScript and Tailwind in a Git repository. At Duogeeks the repo is yours from day one, and any React developer can maintain it later.

How long does a Lovable MVP take?

Most MVPs launch in 2–4 weeks with a professional team. Larger platforms with multiple roles, billing and reporting take 4–8 weeks. You should receive a firm timeline after a scoping call.

Can a developer take over my half-built Lovable project?

In most cases, yes. A good developer reviews what you have built, tells you honestly what is worth keeping, fixes what is broken and finishes the rest. The quote should come after that review, not before.

What is the difference between a Lovable freelancer and a Lovable agency?

A freelancer is one person — usually cheaper, fine for small well-defined apps. An agency gives you a designer and developers together, contractual scope and timeline, and continuity if someone is unavailable. For products that touch revenue or customers, the agency model removes the single point of failure.
