For 5 years I built apps on Bubble. It served me well — but times change.

Today I build with a new, AI-assisted stack, and honestly, on the things that matter most to a business, Bubble now falls behind.

• Speed — the apps I build now load noticeably faster, and I measure it instead of guessing. • Security — I run AI-assisted vulnerability testing on every project and close any holes I find before launch. That's hard to do on a closed no-code platform.

One thing I always recommend after launch — keep the project on light maintenance, just 1–2 hours a week. Apps are not "build once and forget."

I also set up SEO, and even when everything looks fine I send a weekly SEO report with anything worth improving that I notice.

If you have an app idea, a project that needs a rebuild, or something that just needs a reliable caretaker — reach out. Here, by email, or on LinkedIn. You don't to think about stuff at all, I take it. LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/maksim-padleski/ Email - maksim.padleski@gmail.com

Veranda, a luxury residential concept landing page

Veranda is a concept build I created for a fictional luxury residential brand. It is not client work or a real property. The images and hero motion were generated with AI as part of the creative process.

I wanted to explore something that matters when building high-fidelity landing pages: after several rounds of changes, how do you make sure the final page still looks like the design that was approved?

The site is built in Next.js with responsive layouts, self-hosted fonts, GSAP motion and an interactive walkthrough. I also built in a proper QA process around it, not just checking that the page loads and the buttons work.

It compares 12 sections across five screen sizes against approved visual baselines. It flags visual drift, missing baselines and changes that have not been reviewed. I also tested interactions, accessibility, contrast, performance, browser behaviour and reduced-motion states.

The main lesson for me was simple: a page can pass functional tests and still no longer be the page that was agreed.

Building a QA process that flags visual drift against approved baselines is such an underrated skill, most people just eyeball it after changes go in. What first made you start checking for that instead of trusting the build looked right?

Building e-commerce marketplace can be tough. But if you have already built 5+ apps like this one, you can see the patterns of a well-designed marketplace, and have a clear understanding of what it's better to add, what to remove. You, as a client, can only have a scratch on the paper; or you have an already working app or website, but it lacks convenience. Our job is to polish your idea till it becomes a diamond. SAVEZ is an example of such an idea, that was transformed into a polished app. Drop me a message, and I'll guide you through the ocean of your ideas to the beautiful product, that your ideas will turn into.
