No Builder Fees
Eliminate recurring platform builder fees that eat client budgets or agency margins. Deploy unencumbered to standard hosting providers.
Three real-world builds. From intent to production Next.js.
How projects move from raw concepts and living engineering contracts to unencumbered, local Next.js code with zero proprietary lock-in.
SaaS MVP & Product Launches: From Idea to a Deployed Site
When bringing a new product to market, every hour and dollar counts. Developing your site conversationally with a project-aware AI lets you explore directions and refine pages over successive iterations, while the point-and-click visual inspector lets you adjust spacing, typography, and styling with zero API charges and no LLM latency.
- Synthesize living
docs/PRD.mdanddocs/TDD.mdspecifications before touching interface code. - Refine routes, layout variations, and copy through iterative dialogue with an AI grounded in your project context.
- Adjust margins, typography, and layout tokens with the visual inspector—spending zero AI tokens.
- Deploy standard Next.js code directly to Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, or AWS with zero platform lock-in.

Client Deliverables: Living Spec Governance & Frictionless Handoffs
Anchor client deliverables to living specifications and hand off clean React code governed by strict component contracts.
Client engagements routinely suffer from misaligned handoffs: either clients request endless scope changes that erode project margins, or developers spend hours translating Figma artboards into bespoke, fragile code.
With Qanvas, project delivery is anchored around living specifications in docs/PRD.md and docs/TDD.md before composing a single block. Designers assemble pages conversationally within machine-checked component contracts (.qanvas/contracts/), while engineers fine-tune details with the zero-latency visual inspector. The client receives clean TypeScript and token-driven CSS in a standard Next.js project for their Git repository.
Living Engineering ContractsDeliver bespoke Next.js presences anchored by canonical PRD and TDD specifications. Machine-checked contracts protect code quality while clients receive a self-contained Next.js project.
- Living
docs/PRD.mdanddocs/TDD.mdfiles eliminate scope ambiguity prior to layout synthesis. - Machine-checked component contracts prevent styling drift and schema breaking across team members.
- Deliver clean code directly into client Git repositories with zero proprietary vendor runtime.
Why Client Projects Deliver Faster on Qanvas
Engineered for professional design-to-development handoffs without intermediate SaaS friction.
Direct Repository Transfer
Hand over pure TypeScript, React, and token-driven CSS in a standard Next.js project. Zero proprietary SDKs or obfuscated bundles.
Machine-Checked Component Contracts
Lock typography scales, surface color tokens, and component interfaces directly into machine-checked contracts (.qanvas/contracts/). Creators compose freely without risking schema drift or broken production builds.
High-Velocity Campaign Pages: Export, Branch & Review
Marketing and campaign teams need to ship high-converting pages quickly, but engineers dread fragile visual builder exports polluting their repository. Qanvas turns visual edits into typed React components and token-driven CSS, guarded by machine-checked component contracts.
- Commit each exported iteration to a dedicated Git branch without risking production regressions.
- Dual-modality: compose structure with AI, adjust typography and colors directly via the visual inspector.
- Schema and contract checks reject invalid AI edits before they reach your draft.
- Engineers review clean TypeScript and CSS diffs; zero proprietary build runtime in CI/CD pipelines.
From Branch Checkout to Production Merge
A disciplined, repository-native workflow that engineering teams actually respect.
- Branch Isolation
Create a dedicated Git branch in the repository of a site you exported from Qanvas, and open the project in Qanvas at
localhost:7140. - Conversational & Visual Iteration
Refine copy and layouts through iterative conversation with an agent grounded in your active routes and design tokens, paired with direct visual inspector control.
- Standard Code Review
Re-export into the branch: standard TypeScript and React code that produces clean, diffable Git commits for engineering code review.
- Automated CI/CD
Merge approved PRs into main. Standard CI/CD builds production artifacts automatically with zero external builder webhooks or cloud dependencies.
