The Lovable project
The project and the code inside it, not only the running site. Where the build had drifted from what the team thought it did.

The brief
Audit, fixes, mobile, and sound admin
We audited the Lovable project, closed the open bugs, made every screen work on phones and tablets, and added sound management in admin so the team can attach animal calls without another build.
- Audit
- Bug fixes
- Mobile & tablet
- Sound admin
- Launch support
How we framed it
Price the real blockers first. Then fix phones and tablets, clear the bug list, and put sounds where the team can manage them.
How the game works
Explore, find, and learn
Children leave the treehouse, choose an ecosystem, and search each illustrated scene for hidden animals. Opening an animal card reveals photographs, facts, and the animal's call.
What children can do
- Choose an ecosystem from the valley
- Move across wide scenes without losing hidden animals
- Tap an animal to open its learning card
- Read the facts and play the animal's call
Where we started
The audit came before the quote
The team arrived with a list of what they wanted done. The audit told them which items were actually blocking the launch, and what each one would cost, before any money was committed.
How it fits together
Treehouse, valley, five ecosystems, animal cards. Which pieces share layout code, so one fix lands in every place that uses it.
Launch blockers
What had to close before the public link went out, kept apart from what could safely wait until after it.
Their priority list
The work they had already asked for, checked against what the audit found, with a price per item before anything began.
Before and after
What changed
How much of the platform a visitor on a phone can reach, and whether the team have anyone who can close a problem when one turns up.
Before this work
After this work
Layouts were sized for a desktop window. On a phone, the sides of every scene were gone.
Scenes, cards and buttons adapt to the width they are given, from a phone up to a wide display.
On a small screen, some of the ecosystems could not be reached at all.
Arrows step across the valley and across each scene, so every ecosystem and every animal is reachable.
The issues found during the soft launch were still open, with nobody in the organisation able to close them.
Every item on their list was fixed and checked on the device the problem showed up on.
The animal cards had no sound.
A tap on the animal plays its call, verified on real phones.
No one who could say what stood between the platform and a public launch.
Blockers named up front, work priced per item, and the platform live to the public.
Delivery
What we shipped
Four pieces of work, priced per item, in the order the audit put them.
-
Responsive rebuild
First pass- Layouts rebuilt so scenes fit a phone and a tablet, not only a desktop window
- Content that ran past the edge of the viewport brought back on screen
- Navigation between the five ecosystems reworked for a narrow screen
- Shared layout code fixed once, so the change landed everywhere it is used
- Checked on real phones, not only in a browser resized to look like one
-
The fix list
From the soft launch- The defects the team and their testers had logged, closed one at a time
- Each fix checked on the screen size where the problem appeared
- Nothing added outside the list we had agreed and priced
- Anything bigger than it first looked raised before we spent on it
-
Animal sounds
The feature request- Each animal's call added to its card
- Played by a tap on the animal, matching how the rest of the platform works
- Checked on phone browsers, where the rules for audio are stricter
- Nothing plays until someone chooses to play it, so it works in a classroom
-
Launch support
Through to going public- Consulting for a team that owns the product and does not write code
- Answers in plain language, so the decisions stayed with them
- The Vercel deploy checked before the link went public
- Live at wildlifelookout.org, checked on real devices before the link went out
The result
Wildlife Lookout is live to the public, and it reaches its audience wherever they open it.
The platform
Every screen working from phone to desktop, the open issue list closed, and animal sounds on the cards.
The team
A non-technical team with a development partner who prices the work per item and explains every decision without jargon.
The launch
Blockers named in the audit, fixed in priority order, and checked on real devices before the public link went out.
Wildlife Lookout, its artwork and its teaching content belong to Champions for Wildlife.
Take your Lovable app to a public launch
We audit the project, tell you what stands between it and a public launch, and price each item before anything starts. Most of that work takes weeks, not a rebuild. You keep the product and the credit.
