Discovery & scope
Product goals mapped, user flows designed, feature list agreed in writing, and mockups of key screens delivered.
MVP Build
Launch your MVP in 4 weeks for $4,000.
A fixed-price software build for founders who need a working product, not another prototype.

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

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.
Pricing
Two stages, one clear path.
Start with the MVP. Extend into Production when you're ready. Every step is fixed-price.

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 ($199/mo) includes up to 90 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.
