MVP & Prototype Development - Validate Your Idea Before You Build
What is an MVP?
Types of MVPs & Prototypes We Build
Clickable Prototype
Interactive Figma prototypes that simulate the full user experience - click through screens, navigate menus, and experience user flows. No code, no backend. Ideal for early validation and investor pitches.
Non-Functional Static Prototype
High-fidelity visual designs that showcase aesthetics, branding, and layout without interactive elements. Perfect for gathering feedback on look and feel and making early design adjustments before development begins.
Web App MVP
A lean, fully functional web application built to test your core product hypothesis with real users - built on React, Node.js, and AWS with a real backend, real data, and a production-ready CI/CD pipeline from day one.
Mobile App MVP
A working iOS or Android MVP - or cross-platform Flutter build - with core user flows, push notifications, user authentication, and deployment to the App Store and Google Play. From brief to launch in 10–14 weeks.
SaaS MVP
A multi-tenant SaaS application with user authentication, subscription billing, a core feature set, and an admin dashboard - built to attract your first paying customers and validate willingness to pay before scaling the product.
AI-Powered MVP
An MVP with AI or ML features baked in from day one - LLM-powered workflows, recommendation engines, intelligent search, or predictive tools. Validates whether the AI adds measurable value before committing to a full AI product build.
Concept vs Prototype vs MVP vs Full Build - Which Do You Need?
| Criterion | Concept Only | Prototype (Figma) | MVP | Full Product Build |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Can show to investors? | No - idea only | Yes - visual demo | Yes - functional demo | Yes |
| Users can test independently? | No | With guidance only | Yes - real product | Yes |
| Working code? | None | None | Yes - partial | Yes - complete |
| Time to build | 0 - exists on paper | 1-4 weeks | 8-16 weeks | 6-18 months |
| Cost | $0 | $3K-$15K | $15K-$120K | $80K-$800K+ |
| Validates core assumption? | No | Partially (UX only) | Yes - with real users | Yes (after full launch) |
| Reusable for next stage? | No | Design assets only | 80%+ code reusable | N/A - is the product |
| Best for | Internal clarity | Early feedback / pitch | Market validation | Scaling proven product |
Rapid Prototyping & MVP Tech Stack
Figma
UI/UX design and clickable prototype creation - the industry standard for wireframes, high-fidelity designs, and interactive prototypes that simulate the full user experience.
React / Next.js
Frontend framework for web app MVPs - fast development, server-side rendering for SEO, and a production-ready codebase that scales directly from MVP to full product.
Node.js / Python
Backend API and data layer for MVPs - REST APIs, authentication, database integration, and business logic built to be extended rather than rewritten when the product scales.
Flutter
Cross-platform mobile MVP framework - one codebase delivering native iOS and Android apps. 30–50% faster to build than two separate native apps, with near-native performance.
Firebase / Supabase
Rapid backend infrastructure - real-time database, user authentication, file storage, and serverless functions out of the box. Ideal for MVPs that need to move from idea to live product in weeks.
AWS / Vercel
Cloud deployment from day one - scalable infrastructure, CI/CD pipeline, automatic SSL, and environment management. Your MVP launches on the same infrastructure as your full product.

Our 6-Stage MVP Development Process
Discovery & Scoping
Analysis of your idea, competitor landscape, target users, market trends, and product future. Requirement prioritisation and development strategy.
Feature Prioritisation
Lean feature workshop: we identify the minimum feature set that validates your core hypothesis and removes everything that delays market validation.
UX Design & Prototype
User journeys, wireframes, and high-fidelity clickable prototype - reviewed and approved by you before any development code is written.
MVP Development
Sprint-based build: frontend, backend API, authentication, and database - production-ready code with CI/CD pipeline from the very first sprint.
User Testing & Validation
Real users test the MVP, feedback is collected and analysed, and the core product hypothesis is validated - or the roadmap is adjusted based on data.
Launch & Scale
Production deployment, App Store / Google Play submission if required, and a clear scale-up roadmap or full product build plan for what comes next.
Pricing Guide
Transparent pricing for all MVP development projects. All projects include full IP ownership, GDPR-compliant data handling, and source code delivery.
