You've tried the AI tools
You crafted an elaborate prompt, and saw a website appear like magic.
It felt like a shell. Adding a backend and admin dashboard to take bookings took hours. Fixing the little bugs it created took even more.
The AI built it fast. But fast at building the wrong thing and making a mess of it ended up taking way more of your time.
Here's why they keep failing
When you say "build me a booking system," there's a hundred questions hiding in that sentence. Walk-ins or appointments? Are deposits required? What are the services? Staff-specific pricing? Holidays?
Current tools don't ask. They guess. And guessing builds broken software.
Worse, most AI coding tools weren't built for you. They're optimized for developers spinning up weekend projects, not business owners running real operations. Try asking one to handle multi-location inventory, staff permissions, or compliance requirements. You'll get a purple gradient UI infested with bugs and workflows all over the place.
Stardeck is different
Give it simple instructions: "a website with booking for my salon"
Instead of immediately generating code, Stardeck pauses. It asks:
"Do you accept walk-ins, or appointments only?"
"Should customers pay a deposit when booking?"
"Can one appointment include multiple services?"
"Do different staff members have different prices?"
These aren't random questions. They're the same questions a good developer would ask before writing a single line of code. The ones that, if skipped, come back to haunt you three weeks later.
Stardeck keeps asking until it actually understands your business. What your workflow looks like. What your customers expect. What happens when something goes wrong. Then it builds a plan, shows you what it's going to create, and only starts building once you approve.
No complex prompting. No technical jargon. Just a conversation that leads to software that actually works.
And it doesn't build AI slop. When a site looks generated, your customers notice, even if they can't name why. Stardeck builds software that looks designed, not templated. No purple gradients.
Built on solid ground
Every Stardeck project ships with real infrastructure:
OAuth Authentication / managed, secure, done
Postgres Database / production-ready from day one
Cloud Storage / secure, scalable, built-in
The critical pieces are already handled. You're building on a foundation that works.
The old way is over
No more waiting 2 months. No more $15,000 invoices. No more off-the-shelf tools that almost fit.
Hotel booking systems. Restaurant ordering apps. Salon schedulers. Inventory managers. Custom CRMs. Full ERP systems.
Just tell Stardeck what you need. It figures out the rest.
