Do the work of a team (by yourself)

Two days before his client deadline…

 Marco was having a meltdown.

His apartment looked like a disaster zone.

Empty energy drink cans formed a sad little fortress around his laptop.

Sweat soaked through his T-shirt.

His monitor had at least 37 different browser tabs open…

And a half-built app that screamed amateur hour.

The client meeting was coming fast.

Marco still needed to build the interface.

Connect the payment system.

And set up user accounts.

All by himself.

(Marco had quoted too low to hire help.)

He was trying to be designer, developer, and database expert all in one.

That's when his buddy stopped by to drop off some books.

Found Marco in full panic mode.

"Client meeting in TWO DAYS," he mumbled, sounding like a deflating balloon.

His friend just smiled and pulled up a chair.

"Let me show you something."

First, he opened a site called 21st.dev.

Marco's bloodshot eyes narrowed. "What's this?"

"Watch and learn, grasshopper," his friend joked.

The buddy grabbed a prompt for a sleek user dashboard, copied it, and pasted it into Lovable.

BOOM

A professional-looking dashboard appeared.

Marco's jaw dropped.

"That would've taken me hours to design."

"We're just getting started," his friend said with a smirk.

Next, he opened up Make.

Marco leaned in closer, desperate for any lifeline.

His friend showed him how to create a simple workflow connecting the new dashboard to Stripe for payments, then to Airtable for user management.

No code. Just connecting visual blocks like Legos.

Marco felt a wave of relief wash over him.

This changed everything.

After his buddy left, Marco dove in headfirst.

That night, he had designed all his UI components using prompts from 21st.dev.

Each element looked like it came from a high-end design agency.

No more amateur hour.

Early the next morning…

…after some much needed sleep…

Marco tackled the functionality with Make.

Connected his payment system in just a few clicks.

User accounts?

Check.

While other freelancers were still writing code and cursing at their screens...

Marco was putting the final touches on a fully-functional, professional-looking app.

All without writing a single line of code.

A day before the deadline?

The project was complete.

Dashboard that looked like it came from a design agency.

Payment system running smoothly.

User accounts creating and storing data automatically.

The client was blown away.

"This looks amazing! How big is your team?"

Marco just smiled. 

"It feels like there’s a lot of us"

His client thought he had a team of developers working around the clock.

Nope. 

Just one guy, two powerful tools, and some energy drinks.

Here's what made this combo so powerful for Marco:

21st.dev gave him the prompts to create interfaces that didn't look like they were designed by a third-grader with a crayon.

Make connected everything together in minutes.

It was like having a design team and development team in his back pocket.

Except they didn't complain…

…didn't need health insurance…

…and didn’t need overtime.

The best part?

That client was so impressed, they referred Marco to two of their business partners.

His rates are now triple what they were before.

His new problem? 

Having too much work.

That's what smart people call a "premium problem."

While other freelancers are still writing code and missing deadlines?

Marco’s building and launching with this deadly combo.

21st.dev for the UI prompts.

Make for the no-code app connections.

His projects now go from "someday" to "shipping today."

His competition thinks he's got a secret development team in a bunker somewhere.

But Marco knows the truth.

In your corner,
