Who this is for
Founders with a validated idea
You know who your users are and what the core problem is. You need a working product they can actually use.
Operators building internal tools
Your team is stuck in spreadsheets or a cobbled-together workflow. A custom tool would save hours every week.
Pre-revenue startups
You have been quoted $30K+ elsewhere. You need real software — not a prototype — without the agency price tag.
Scope
What's in and what's out.
Everything agreed before a dollar changes hands. No surprises.
Included in every MVP

Not included (and why)

Available in the Production add-on
- Complex third-party integrations
Basic integrations can be scoped in — ask at discovery

Everything is agreed in writing before work starts
- Ongoing hosting
Optional via Maintained ($189/mo) or Active ($299/mo) plans

Authentication & accounts
Secure user sign-up, login, and session management built in from day one.
Database design
Properly structured schema on Supabase (PostgreSQL). Your data, your rules.
3–5 core features
The heart of your product. Scoped, agreed in writing, and fully built.

14-day fix window
Any defect in the agreed scope gets fixed at no cost within 14 days of launch.
4-week timeline
Week by week, from scope to live.
Structured milestones so you always know where the build is.
Core build
Authentication, database, and the primary feature fully built and running in a staging environment.
Features & testing
All remaining features built, end-to-end testing completed, edge cases handled, and one round of feedback applied.
Launch & handover
Production deployment on your domain, source code handed over, handover call completed, 14-day fix window begins.
Examples
What kind of MVP can we build?
These are the most common patterns. If yours is different, bring it to the discovery call.
SaaS starter
Multi-tenant app with user accounts, subscription structure, and a core workflow. The foundation you can build on.
Internal operations tool
Staff portal, dashboard, or workflow system that replaces the spreadsheet your team patches every Monday.
Client-facing portal
Onboarding, document access, progress tracking, or communication system for your customers.
Marketplace foundation
Listings, profiles, matching, and basic transactional flow between two user types. The two-sided structure, working.
Booking or scheduling app
Availability management, booking flow, confirmation emails, and basic scheduling logic for any service context.
Data dashboard
Connect your existing data sources and surface the metrics your team actually needs. Replaces the Google Sheets report.
What it looks like
The deliverables, in screenshots.
Every MVP ships with the same core set. Here is what each one actually looks like — from a real build, not a demo.
Auth & Accounts
Operations Platform
Secure login with session management — built into every MVP from day one.
Dashboard
Operations Platform
Main dashboard with metrics and navigation — the operational heart of the product.
Database Records
Operations Platform
Database-backed table view with real schema — Supabase (PostgreSQL) underneath, clean UI on top.
Admin Screen
Operations Platform
Role-based permissions panel — admin tools and access control built into the MVP core.
Core Feature
Operations Platform
Scheduling calendar — one of the 3–5 core features scoped, agreed in writing, and built to spec.
Create / Edit Workflow
Operations Platform
Full create, edit, and manage workflow — responsive on desktop, tablet, and mobile from day one.
All screenshots from a live production build. Every MVP ships with full source code, deployment runbook, and a 60-min handover call.

FAQ
MVP questions.
What exactly do I own at the end?
Everything. The full source code in a Git repository, a live deployed production environment on your domain, a deployment runbook, and all credentials and access. You are not renting software — you own it.
How do you define the 3–5 features?
In Week 1 we work through your product goals and user flows together and document the feature list in writing. You approve it before code is written. Nothing outside that list is built without a separate scope agreement.
What if I want to add a feature mid-build?
Feature additions during the build are scoped separately with a fixed price and timeline extension. We do not build outside scope without agreement — that is what keeps the price and timeline firm.
What tech stack will you use?
Next.js (React) for the frontend and full-stack logic, Supabase (PostgreSQL) for the database and auth, and Vercel for deployment. This is a production-grade, maintainable stack with excellent hiring availability if you want to extend it yourself later.
Can I see a live example?
Book a discovery call and we will walk through relevant examples. We protect client confidentiality, but we can show you architecture, feature complexity, and similar scope.
Do you build mobile apps too?
Most MVPs start as responsive web apps built with Next.js — faster to launch, easier to update, and usable on phones, tablets, and desktops. If your product needs a real iOS or Android app, we can scope that separately after the web version is validated.
What happens if there are bugs after launch?
The 14-day post-launch fix window covers any defect in the agreed scope at no cost. After that, the Active plan ($299/mo) includes up to 60 minutes of development work each month for bugs, tweaks, and minor features.
Can I extend the MVP myself after handover?
Yes. The stack is standard, the code is clean, and we provide a handover call and runbook. Any developer familiar with Next.js and Supabase can pick it up.
