One hardened base
Every project starts from the same tested foundation: secure logins, an admin your team can use, backups, monitoring and guarded releases, all switched on from day one.
// a software lab
We build software, and we prove it works.
CurioLabs builds and runs websites and web apps for organizations that want the care of a big engineering team: every change reviewed, tested, backed up and monitored. Everything we offer is proven in our lab first.

// services
What we do
Each service is marked honestly: Proven means it runs for real clients today. In the lab means we're building and testing it before we offer it.
Proven
Websites and redesigns
Fast, accessible sites with an admin your team can use, including multilingual and right-to-left languages.
Proven
Hosting, maintenance and support
Security updates the same day, daily backups with tested restores, uptime and error monitoring.
Proven
Security hardening
Login protection, safe defaults, scoped access and secrets kept out of code, checked on every change.
Proven
Domains, email and office IT
Business email on your own domain, set up properly so it lands in inboxes, with accounts in your name.
In the lab
Web apps and client portals
Logins, roles and dashboards for your customers or staff, built on the same tested foundation.
In the lab
APIs, integrations and AI features
Connecting your tools, payments through hosted checkout, and AI features with cost limits built in.

What every project stands on
Before we build for you, we build it for ourselves, run it live, and break it on purpose to make sure it recovers.
The Showroom
Where every new capability is built and proven before a client gets it. It runs exactly like a client site, with the same backups, monitoring and releases.

Our own products
We're building apps of our own on the same foundation. They'll appear here when they're ready to show.
Trusted by Afghan Pashai Community, our first client site.
// how we work
The same path for every change
No change reaches your site without passing every step. If one fails, it stops, and nothing live is touched.
- 01PlanScope and estimate, agreed with you first
- 02BuildOn its own branch, never on the live site
- 03ReviewAn independent reviewer approves it in writing
- 04TestAutomated tests and security scans
- 05DeployGuarded release with a rollback ready
- 06VerifyThe live site is checked before we call it done
Our pipeline says no before it says yes.
Real lines from our release logs. When something isn't right, the release stops itself, and the live site is never touched.
deploys we refused
STOPPED before deploying: this commit is no longer GitHub's main. Nothing was changed on the server.
SKIPPED security scan failed: new advisories. Live site stays on the last good version.
SKIPPED (not a failure): a newer run will deploy.
PASSED reviewed, tested, scanned, deployed, verified live.
// the team
Every role covered, on every project
A lab organised like a large team: each role has a clear job and clear limits, and the roles check each other. Our lead engineer owns every decision and every release.
Lead engineer
Approves every release. Holds every key. Your point of contact.
CoordinationPlans the work and re-checks every claim
PlatformKeeps the foundation every project is built on
Project engineeringDedicated to your project, with its full history
Security & OpsBackups, timed drills and incident response

CHANGES NEEDED
The failure happens on the check after the click, not the click. This fix wouldn't stop it.
→ fix reworked, new test added
APPROVE · re-review
Covers the failing line. Turned the fix off: the new test fails, as it should.
- Your passwords stay in a vault, never in code or email
- Every release approved by our lead engineer
- Every decision written down, with its reasons
// responsible AI
AI, with the same rules as everything else
We use modern AI tools to build faster and check more thoroughly, and we build AI features for clients. Either way, the rules don't bend.
- 01Reviewed like any other code. AI-assisted work passes the same review, tests and approval before it ships.
- 02Your secrets never go into AI tools. Passwords and keys stay in a vault, out of every tool and chat.
- 03Your data is used only for what you agree to. AI works on your data only within the scope you approve, using services whose terms we've checked first.
- 04You'll always know. Ask which AI tools touch your project, and we'll tell you. Have an AI policy? We follow it.
- 05AI features built to be safe. Cost limits, clear labels for your users, and a person in the loop where it matters.
// from the lab log
A real night, not a promise
When new security warnings hit the web server every one of our apps runs on, our checks blocked any unsafe release, no site went down, and every app was patched, reviewed and live again before breakfast.
- 03:15New advisories published for our web server
- nextSecurity scan fails, releases blocked automatically, sites stay up
- thenPatch prepared, tested and independently reviewed, app by app
- 04:39First app patched and verified live
- 04:50All four apps patched and verified live
