UX cleanup for Lovable, Bolt and Cursor apps

Service · Updated 8 Oct 2026

If your Lovable, Bolt or Cursor app works but confuses users or looks generic, I fix the design: flows, screens, UI consistency, copy and mobile layouts. I work in the same AI tool, so fixes land in the app itself. Backend, database and security work needs a developer.

What usually goes wrong in an AI-built app

The AI builds each screen when you ask for it, so each screen is designed on its own. After a few weeks of prompting you have four slightly different buttons, two date pickers, a settings page that saves on change and another that needs a Save button, and an empty dashboard that greets new users with nothing to do.

None of that is a bug, so the AI won't flag it. It shows up as users who sign up, click around and leave, or as founders who can't quite say why the app feels cheap next to the product they're competing with.

No clear first step after sign-up, so new users land on an empty screen.
The same action looks and works differently on different screens.
Default component-library styling that makes the app look like a template.
Copy written by the model: vague button labels, error messages that say something went wrong and nothing else.
Layouts that fit a laptop and break on a phone.

What I fix, and how

I start by using the app the way a new user would and writing down every place I hesitate. Then I fix the flows first (what a person sees after sign-up, what they do next, what happens when something fails), then the screens, then the polish.

User flows: sign-up, onboarding, the first useful action, and the empty, loading and error states around them.
UI consistency: one set of buttons, inputs, spacing and type, applied across every screen.
Screens rebuilt where patching won't do, using the same AI tool the app was built in.
Copy: labels, empty states and error messages that tell people what to do next.
Responsive polish so the app holds up on a phone.
A short written list of the rules I applied, so your next prompts don't undo them.

I don't read or write code by hand. I design the fix, then direct the AI tool to build it, check the result on screen and repeat until it matches. That's the same way I build working prototypes and small tools for myself.

What I don't do, and who should

Plenty of the gigs listed for vibe coding services promise to fix everything. I only fix what users see and do. These are outside my scope, and some of them matter more than the design:

Backend logic, APIs and integrations that fail or return the wrong data.
Your database: its structure, migrations, and who is allowed to read which rows.
Security: authentication, exposed keys, payment handling and personal data.
Code audits, performance tuning and refactoring for scale.

For those, hire a full-stack developer who can read the code your tool generated. If the app stores personal data or takes payments, get a security review before you launch, whatever the design looks like. I'm happy to work alongside that developer: I fix the screens while they fix what's underneath.

How it runs

Walkthrough and list: You give me access to the app and the project in your AI tool. I use it as a new user, record what's confusing, and send a prioritised list with what I'd change first.
Flows first: I fix the path from sign-up to the first useful result, including the states that go wrong. This is usually where most of the gain is.
Consistency pass: One set of components and spacing rules, applied across the app, and the screens that need it rebuilt.
Copy, mobile, hand-back: Copy and phone layouts get a final pass. You get the app back with a short rules list for future prompts.

A small app usually takes 1 to 3 weeks, depending on how many screens it has. I confirm the timeline and quote after the first call, once I've seen it.

What it costs

Marketplace gigs for vibe-coded apps are usually priced per bug. I price by the size of the app, after the walkthrough. My starting prices for comparable work (a UX audit, product design by the month) are on the pricing page, and the quote says plainly what's in and out.

Why a product designer for this

At CodeAnt AI I pulled drifting UI patterns into one system. An AI-built app has the same drift problem, reached in weeks instead of years.

At FamPay I redesigned payment error states for timeout, bank decline and retry, and tested them on 15+ screens. The states an AI tool skips are usually the ones that lose users, which I cover in the payment failure guide.

Design systems for startups: How 18+ drifting patterns at CodeAnt became one system, and how small a startup system can be.

Questions people ask

Can you fix my Lovable app's design without breaking it?

I make changes inside Lovable, Bolt or Cursor and check every screen I touch as I go. Your app's logic and data stay as they are; if a change needs backend work, I flag it for a developer instead.

Will you fix bugs and security issues?

No. I fix design, UX, flows, copy and layout. Backend bugs, databases and security need a developer who reads the code, and if you handle payments or personal data, a security review.

Do I need to move my app out of Lovable or Bolt?

No. I work in the tool you built it with, so you keep editing it the same way afterwards.

How much does it cost to fix a vibe-coded app?

It depends on the number of screens and how far they've drifted. I quote after a walkthrough of the app; my published starting prices for related work are on the pricing page.
