MVP development
A first version of your app or web app in users' hands in 6 to 10 weeks, built so version two is an extension rather than a rewrite.
An MVP is the smallest version of your product that real people can rely on. We help you decide what goes in it, design it, build it and launch it, then look at what users actually do before planning the next release.
We build and run our own products, so we make the same trade-offs for you that we make for ourselves: what to leave out, what to do properly from the start, and what can wait until people are using it.
How an MVP comes together
Scope
A written brief and a first-release scope, agreed before any code is written.
Design Sprint, if you need one
In 2 to 3 weeks: research, user flows, high-fidelity screens and a clickable prototype you can show investors or users.
Build
Two-week sprints with a demo at the end of each and a test build on your phone, in a repository you own.
Launch
App Store and Google Play submission or a web launch, with monitoring and two weeks of post-launch fixes.
Built to grow
React, Next.js and TypeScript, or React Native, on Supabase or PostgreSQL. Auth, billing and dashboards done properly the first time.
After launch
Take the code in-house, or keep us on for the next release.
Products we built from scratch
Every product on our Work page is ours: conceived, designed, built and launched by the studio, then run and improved.
How a project runs
Two-week sprints, a demo at the end of each and a weekly written update.

Questions about mvp development
What is an MVP?
A minimum viable product: the smallest version of your idea that solves the core problem well enough for real people to use it. It is how you learn what users want before spending on everything else.
How long does MVP development take?
Our MVP Build runs 6 to 10 weeks. If the idea still needs shaping, a 2 to 3 week Design Sprint comes first and gives you a clickable prototype.
How much does an MVP cost?
We do not publish a price list, because the cost follows the scope. We agree the first release with you, then give a fixed quote.
Can the MVP grow into a full product?
Yes. We build MVPs on the same stack we would use for the full product, so version two extends what is there instead of starting again.
Do you work with non-technical founders?
Yes. You get a weekly written update in plain English, a demo every two weeks and a shared board showing what is in progress, so you always know where things stand.
