Common Questions
Frequently asked.
Answers to the things people most want to know about the studio, Cortex, and website projects. Can't find what you're looking for? Drop a note on the contact page.
Do you build websites for businesses? +
Yes — that's half of what the studio does. Custom-designed, hand-built websites for businesses that have an outdated site or none at all. Call or text (512) 656-4894, or see how it works.
What does a website cost, and how long does it take? +
It depends on what your business needs — most sites go live in about a week. A short call gets you a straight number, free and with no obligation. Details on the websites page.
Do you handle hosting and SEO after my site launches? +
Yes — a flat monthly plan covers hosting, security, unlimited same-day edits, and ongoing Google SEO: map listing management, local rankings, review generation, and a monthly report. Month to month, no contract. Full breakdown on the websites page.
When is Cortex launching? +
There's no fixed launch date. Cortex is in active development and will ship when it's genuinely ready — not before. Subscribe to the newsletter for real updates when there's something worth saying.
Will there be a free tier? +
Pricing is still being finalized, but the intention is a generous free tier for core functionality, with a sustainable subscription for advanced features like the AI coach and deeper analytics. No ads, no data selling, regardless of plan.
Who is behind Lakeline Labs? +
Lakeline Labs is an independent software studio in Austin, Texas. Design, code, copy, and support all happen in-house, and every client gets one dedicated lead from first call to launch. The studio is built on systems designed to keep that quality consistent as it grows.
Is there an Android version coming? +
Not initially. Cortex is being built natively for iOS first so it can reach the level of polish the studio is committed to. Android is a possibility down the line, but not on the current roadmap.
How do you handle my data? +
On-device first. End-to-end encrypted where cloud sync is necessary. No ads, no third-party tracking, no data sold or brokered. A full privacy policy will be published before launch, with clear explanations — not legal theater.
Can I be an early beta tester? +
A closed TestFlight beta will open before public launch. Subscribers to the newsletter will be the first to hear about it. For now, there's no signup form — the beta will be small and hand-curated.
Are you hiring or open to contractors? +
Not at this time. The studio is deliberately solo. If that changes, it will be announced here — not through job boards.
How can I reach out for press or collaboration? +
For press inquiries, reach out at press@lakelinelabs.com. For everything else, the contact form or hello@lakelinelabs.com works well.
