MVP development — idea to a shippable product
An MVP build takes your idea from Figma to a production web app in about four weeks of fixed-scope work — architected to scale, not rebuilt in a year. You get a real, deployable product, not a prototype you have to throw away.
Built properly from the start
Most MVPs cut the corners you can't see — the ones that turn into a rewrite the moment you get traction. I build on a stack that won't paint you into a corner six months in: a clean architecture, real auth and data modelling, CI/CD, and the boring foundations that let you add features later instead of fighting the ones you already have. Fast to ship, but built like it's meant to last.
Fixed scope, four-week sprints
We agree exactly what the MVP includes before any work starts — a written scope, a timeline, and a price. Then we work in weekly increments so you see real progress every week, with something deployable at the end of each. Web apps, SaaS platforms, internal tools — solo or leading a small team, depending on the size of the build.
What happens after launch
You own the repos, the infrastructure, and the docs from day one. From there you can take it in-house, keep me on a fractional-CTO retainer to grow it, or hand it to your own team with a clean handover. No lock-in, no dependency — the MVP is yours to run.
What you get
- A deployed, production-grade web app — not a throwaway prototype
- Modern stack (Next.js, NestJS, Django/FastAPI, PostgreSQL)
- CI/CD, auth, and the foundations to scale
- Fixed scope, fixed price, weekly visible progress
- Full ownership of code, infra, and docs — no lock-in
MVP Development — questions
How long does it take to build an MVP?
About four weeks of fixed-scope work for a focused MVP — from idea or Figma to a deployed, production web app. Larger builds run longer; we agree the exact scope and timeline in writing before any work starts.
Will the MVP need to be rebuilt when we scale?
That's the thing it's designed to avoid. I build on a stack and architecture that scale — real data modelling, auth, and CI/CD from the start — so you add features later instead of rewriting foundations.
Who owns the code?
You do, from day one — repositories, infrastructure, and documentation. You can take it in-house, keep me on a retainer to grow it, or hand it to your own team. No lock-in.
