MVP development
MVP development for founders who need it to work on day one.
From a written scope to production software you can put in front of real users. Many MVPs can be delivered in around four weeks, depending on what the minimum viable product really needs to be.
Sound familiar?
Where most MVPs start.
-
I have an idea and need to test it with real users.
-
I've been quoted six months and my runway won't cover it.
-
Investors need to use it, not click through a prototype.
-
I don't know what should be in version one.
How it works
From idea to real users.
-
01
Discovery
Define the one problem the MVP must prove, who it's for, and what's out of scope for now.
-
02
Vertical slice
One real journey built end to end in the first sprint, so the risky assumptions are tested in code.
-
03
Build sprints
The remaining must-have features, reviewed and tested, in a staging environment you can use.
-
04
Launch & learn
Production release, analytics, and a plan for what to build next based on how people actually use it.
What drives the cost and timeline.
We fix the price for the agreed scope after discovery. These are the things that move it.
- How many user journeys version one needs
- Integrations: payments, sign-in, third-party APIs
- Admin, reporting and back-office tools
- How sensitive the data is
- How much design already exists
- How quickly decisions get made
Questions
What people usually ask.
How much does an MVP cost in the UK?
It depends on scope, which is why we fix a price after discovery rather than guessing up front. Because an MVP typically needs one principal engineer working with agents rather than a full agency team, it usually costs less than a traditional agency quote for the same scope. [Typical range: £X to £Y]
What should be in an MVP?
Only what's needed to prove the idea with real users: usually one core journey, sign-in, and the admin you need to run it. Everything else goes on a list for later.
What's the difference between a prototype and an MVP?
A prototype shows how something might work. An MVP is production software real users rely on, with security, data handling and deployment done properly.
Who owns the source code?
You do, from the first commit.
What happens after launch?
Keep building with us on a retainer, hand over to your own team, or pause. The code is documented and tested, so any of those work.
