Go from idea to working software with one experienced designer and developer
I design and build your MVP myself: product decisions, interface, code and launch. No agency layers and no handoff between a designer and a developer, so nothing gets lost on the way from idea to live product.
Is it right for you?
- You have a product idea and want a real, working first version, not a prototype.
- You want one person who can make product, design and technical decisions with you.
- You'd rather pay a fixed price than an open-ended day rate.
What’s included
- Product discovery
- Agreeing who it's for, what the first version must do and what can wait.
- UX and UI design
- User flows, then a design system and every screen, reviewed with you before the build.
- Technical architecture
- Proven, well supported tools, chosen so any developer can pick the code up later.
- Front end and back end
- The app itself and the server behind it, usually Next.js, React and TypeScript.
- Database
- A data model designed for your product, usually Postgres.
- Authentication
- Sign-up, login, password reset and the right people seeing the right data.
- Integrations
- Stripe payments and the services your product needs, agreed in the scope.
- Testing
- Tested as it's built, with a preview link every week you can click through on your phone.
- Deployment
- Live on your domain, with hosting and accounts in your name.
- Handover
- A handover call and written notes. The code, accounts and domain are yours.
What’s not included
- Native Android apps, and native iOS apps unless agreed in the scope
- Large data migrations from an existing system
- Writing your marketing copy or content
- Third-party costs such as hosting, domains and paid APIs, which you pay directly
- Features added after the scope is agreed, which become a priced change request
How it works
- Tell me about your ideaA short enquiry, then a 20 minute call.
- Define the scopeScreens, features, timeline and one fixed price, in writing.
- Design and buildDesign first, then the build, with a preview link every week.
- Launch and hand overLive on your domain, and everything is handed over to you.
Questions about MVP development
What decides the price?
The number of screens and user types, the integrations, and how complex the data and permissions are. The written scope lists all of it, with one price.
Can every MVP be built in 4 to 6 weeks?
No. Many fit that window, but timing depends on the agreed scope. If yours needs longer, the scope says so before you pay anything.
