How we built munditeam.com
October 17, 2026
Our first project was our own company. We built it the way we build for clients: AI does the work, and a person decides, reviews and approves. Here is what we built, how long it took and what it would cost a client. Measured, not estimated.
In short
- What: a website and a client portal with accounts, card payments, messages and two AI assistants.
- How long: 5 days, from October 12 to 16, 2026.
- What it would cost a client: about $33 of credit to build. On a $30 plan, that's about one month.
- To keep it running: about $10 to $20 of credit a month.
What we built
- The website, munditeam.com: the design, the texts, a globe with the real day and night, pricing, terms and privacy. Later, in 12 languages, Arabic included, which reads right to left.
- Email on our own domain, with the settings that keep our emails out of the spam folder.
- The client portal, app.munditeam.com: sign in with a link, a code or a passkey; the list of requests; messages; deliveries to approve; "Your usage" almost in real time; payments; help.
- Card payments with Stripe: the plan is charged on the 1st, usage above the credit only within the client's limit, plan changes and cancellation.
- Two AI assistants. One answers new clients: it asks questions and puts together a first plan with an estimate. The other one, in Help, answers with the account's data and hands the conversation to a person when it isn't sure.
- The invisible part: email notices, permissions so each client only sees their own project (checked by 173 automated tests), and an encrypted backup of the database every night.
Day by day
- October 12. The name, the domain and the email. Research on what a technology team costs in other countries. Several designs of the home page; the first version went live that night.
- October 13 and 14. The client portal, live: sign-in, emails from our own domain and the Help assistant.
- October 15. Card payments, plan changes, the terms and the privacy policy.
- October 16. The form on the website opens a dashboard where an assistant asks about the idea and estimates it. The nightly backup. Then the website and the portal in 12 languages.
- October 17. Registered with Google and Bing, and this page.
What it would cost a client
We measure every step of the work. These are our real figures, at the prices a client pays:
| Part | Credit used |
|---|---|
| Website: research, design, domain and email | About $12 |
| Client portal | About $7 |
| Database, sign-in, admin, notices and the Help assistant | About $5 |
| Card payments, plan changes and legal pages | About $2 |
| The assistant for new clients, the nightly backup and fixes | About $7 |
| Total | About $33 |
Measured from October 12 to 16, 2026. The translation into 12 languages came after these figures.
What it costs to keep it running
The website on its own uses about $1 to $2 of credit a month. With the portal, the database, the emails and the AI, about $10 to $20 a month, depending on how much it's used. The domain is paid separately, once a year.
Who did what
The AI wrote the code and the texts, translated them, ran the tests and measured what each step used.
A person decided what to build and in what order, chose among the designs and approved every step before it went live. Some decisions only a person makes. The first design looked cheap, so it was thrown away. The first pricing message said "$30 a month" and nothing more, and nobody could picture what $30 buys. So we showed real examples instead, the ones on our pricing page.
What we learned
- Show real numbers. A price alone doesn't say what it buys. A real example does.
- Design so it's cheap to run. We build apps so their database sleeps while nobody is using it. That's the difference between a few dollars a month and over $100.
- One address per language. Every language has its own page, so search engines and AIs can read us in each one.
