Overview

Medworks is a private longevity membership for a premium Los Angeles wellness clinic. We designed and built the whole platform — a calm, editorial storefront where the clinic's members buy a monthly membership, earn credits, book in-clinic services, and order peptides matched to their own health goals. It went from idea to over $10,000 in monthly recurring revenue within the first month.

The Client

Robert runs an established premium wellness clinic in LA with an existing base of clients. He could legally provide peptides to those members, and he wanted a secure, streamlined way for them to purchase and manage everything in one place — without the friction of a generic online store. The goal was a membership that grants monthly credits, which members spend on appointments and on peptides chosen for their health needs and lifestyle.

The Challenge

This is not a typical shop. Medworks sells an ongoing membership, not one-off products. Members pay monthly, receive credits, and spend them across in-clinic appointments and peptide orders. That meant getting a real credits system right — rollover rules, monthly caps, paid top-ups — alongside three clearly differentiated tiers, secure handling of a sensitive and regulated product, and a premium, editorial feel that earns trust at $500–$1,500 a month. On top of that, it had to ship fast and then keep evolving with paying members already on board.

The Strategy

We built Medworks as a single TypeScript monolith: Adonis.js on the back end, Vue.js on the front, tied together with Inertia.js so the whole product is fully typed end to end. That keeps the experience seamless for members and keeps the codebase fast and safe for us to change. TailwindCSS gives us a consistent design system, and PostgreSQL is the source of truth for memberships, credits, and orders. We host on Render.com, which lets us redeploy frequently with zero downtime — exactly what you want when you're iterating in production with real members.

Keeping the membership and credits logic in our own backend means the business rules — the three tiers, monthly longevity credits, a one-month rollover capped at twelve, and $50 top-up credits — are fully owned and easy to adjust as the offer matures. We structured the member journey around clarity: a quiet, editorial storefront, a guided onboarding that walks each member from sign-up through medical form, PNOE test, and consultation, and a personal account where they can see their credit balance, order history, and reports at a glance.

The Admin

Member experience was the priority — and great member experience depends on a team that can respond fast. So we built Medworks its own admin alongside the storefront, giving the team full control of day-to-day operations without ever needing us in the loop. From one place they can manage members, adjust credit balances by hand when a member needs help, review subscriptions and product recommendations, and follow each person's PNOE history. Every credit movement is logged and traceable — a subscription refill, a booked appointment, a manual correction — so support can answer any member question with confidence. The result is an agile, empowered customer-service team that keeps the premium experience feeling personal at every touchpoint.

The Results

Medworks crossed $10,000 in monthly recurring revenue by the end of the first month, and has grown from there. The clinic now sells memberships, books services, and fulfills peptide orders through one platform it fully owns, with the flexibility to keep refining pricing and protocols as it scales.

The momentum is continuing. As of June 2026, Robert has brought us on to build the Medworks mobile app — an even more premium, direct line of communication between the clinic and its members.
