MVP Development · our core service
Your MVP, Designed and Built For a Fixed Price
Start free in the MVP builder and finish with a brief a developer can price. Then book a free scoping call: we agree a fixed price for the Must-have features, design, build and test them in short sprints, and launch with you. You own the code and every account.
- Free MVP builder, no sign-up
- MVP cost calculator
- Free scoping call, then a fixed price
What you get at each stage
Sized to where your product is now, and built so the next stage adds to it rather than starting again.
Idea & validation
Turn the idea into a brief a developer can price
- The free MVP builder: problem, users, Must-have features, journeys and budget
- Your riskiest assumption named, so the first version tests it
- A clickable prototype of the main journey, when testing the design first makes sense
- A free scoping call to check the brief and settle open questions
MVP & launch
Design, build and launch the Must-haves for a fixed price
- A written scope, sprint plan and fixed price for the Must-have features
- Design, build and testing in short sprints, with a working version after each one
- Changes priced in writing before they start, so the budget stays clear
- Go-live, with the code, domain and every account in your name
Growth & scale
Support after launch, then the next version
- Fixes, monitoring and updates once real users arrive
- Your product analytics read with you against the targets in your brief
- The next version scoped the same way: brief, call, fixed price
- A clean handover if you hire your own developers
What is included
Free brief, then a free call
Start in the MVP builder. We read your brief, talk it through with you on a free scoping call and agree what the first version must do.
A fixed price for the Must-haves
One written price for the Must-have features in your brief. Anything you add or change later is priced separately before work on it starts.
Design first
The main journey and screens designed and clicked through before code, because a design is far cheaper to change than software.
Short sprints, working software
Development and testing in short sprints, each ending with a working version you can try, so wrong turns show up early.
You own the code and accounts
The code, designs, domain and the accounts for hosting, payments and app stores are in your name, so you are never locked in.
Support after launch
Fixes, monitoring and updates once real users arrive, and the next version scoped the same way when you are ready.
Everything in MVP Development
14 services. Take one or combine several: we size each to your stage and agree the scope and a fixed price before work starts.
Scope
- MVP builder briefYour problem, users, Must-have features, journeys, budget and runway, written free in the builder and downloaded as a brief.
- Free scoping callWe read your brief, talk it through with you and agree what the first version must do and what can wait.
- Written scope and sprint planThe Must-have features, screens and what counts as done, written down, with what each sprint delivers.
- Fixed-price quoteOne price for the Must-have scope, agreed in writing before work starts. Changes are priced separately before they start.
- Clickable prototypeThe main journey designed and clicked through before code, when testing the design first makes sense.
Design and build
- Interface designScreens for the Must-have journeys, designed for phones first and handed straight to development.
- Development in short sprintsA working version to try at the end of each sprint, so you see progress and can change course early.
- Sign-up, payments and adminAccounts, login, payments through a provider such as Stripe, and the admin you need to run the product.
- TestingAutomated tests on the main journeys, and testing on real devices before each release.
- Hosting and monitoringHosting, backups, error reporting and uptime checks, set up in accounts you own.
Launch and after
- Go-liveA launch checklist, a private beta if you want one, and the move to live with us on hand.
- Code and account handoverThe code, designs, domain and every account in your name, with notes the next developer can follow.
- Support after launchFixes, monitoring and updates once real users arrive.
- Next version scopingThe next set of features scoped the same way: brief, call, fixed price.
Scope it free, then build it
Your MVP brief is the brief
The brief you write in the free MVP builder is what we quote from. It tells us who the product is for, the Must-have features, the main journeys and the budget, so work on MVP Development starts from your brief, not a blank page. It fits these stages:
In your brief
The sections it builds on
- MVP summary
- MVP scope
- User journeys and screens
- Build approach
- Budget and runway
- Roadmap
- Launch plan
For established companies
New products and ventures, scoped first
Established companies use the same approach to test a new digital product or service: a short brief, a free scoping call and a fixed-price first version built and measured on its own, connected to existing systems only where it needs to be.
Tell us about your projectQuestions founders ask
What does an MVP cost?
It depends on what the first version must do. The figures above show what some UK studios publish, but the useful answer comes from your own brief. Scope it free in the builder, try the MVP cost calculator, then book a free scoping call and we will quote a fixed price for the Must-have features.
What does the fixed price cover?
The Must-have features agreed in your written scope: design, build, testing and launch. Should, Could and later features are not included unless you add them. If you change the scope, we price the change in writing before work on it starts, so you always know what you are paying for.
Do I have to use the builder first?
No, but it saves time. A brief tells us who the product is for, which features are Must-haves, the main journeys and your budget, which is what a fixed price depends on. Without one, we work through the same questions on the scoping call.
Who owns the code?
You do. The code repository, designs, domain and the accounts for hosting, payments and app stores are set up in your name or your company’s, and we work inside them. If you later hire your own developers, they pick up where we left off.
How do you build it?
In short sprints. Each one ends with a working version you can try and comment on, so you see progress as it happens rather than at a big reveal. We use widely used technology the next developer can follow, and test on real devices before launch.
What happens after launch?
We stay with you. Support covers fixes, monitoring and updates once real users arrive. When your numbers show what to build next, we scope the next version the same way: brief, call, fixed price.
Who does the work?
Our own team. The people who read your brief and join your scoping call are the team that designs and builds the MVP, with one point of contact from brief to launch.
