Got a business idea that's been keeping you up at night? Let's get it out of your head and into the hands of real users. I specialise in building MVPs that help you test, learn, and grow - without spending a fortune or waiting forever.
A Minimum Viable Product is the simplest version of your idea that still delivers real value. It's not about cutting corners - it's about being clever with your time and money. Build just enough to test whether your idea works, learn from real users, then improve.
Too many founders spend months (and thousands) building the "perfect" product, only to find out nobody wants it. An MVP flips that on its head. Get something live quickly, see what users actually do with it, then invest more where it matters.
Think of it as a conversation with your market. You're not launching a finished product - you're asking "does this solve your problem?" And the answer helps you build something even better.
Every MVP is different, but here's what's typically achievable:
Single core feature, basic user authentication, clean UI. Perfect for testing a straightforward concept with minimal moving parts.
2-4 weeks typicalMultiple features, user dashboard, integrations with one or two external services. The sweet spot for most startup ideas.
4-6 weeks typicalMultiple user roles, payments, third-party integrations, admin dashboard. For ideas that need more moving parts to prove value.
6-8 weeks typicalBuilding an MVP should be exciting, not stressful. Here's how we'll get your idea live:
We strip your idea down to its essence. What's the one thing users absolutely need? That's what we build first.
Quick wireframes and a clean design system. Nothing fancy - just clear, usable interfaces that get the job done.
Focused sprints with regular updates. You'll see working software every few days, not at the end of months.
Get it in front of real users. Collect feedback, watch how people use it, then decide what to build next.
How do I build MVPs so quickly? It's not magic - it's experience and smart choices. After 20+ years of building software, I know which corners you can safely cut and which you absolutely can't.
I use Laravel - a powerful PHP framework that handles all the boring stuff (user accounts, security, databases) out of the box. That means more time building your actual features and less time reinventing the wheel.
And because I'm a one-person operation, there's no overhead. No account managers, no endless meetings, no bureaucracy. Just direct communication and rapid development.
MVPs aren't just for Silicon Valley startups. They work brilliantly for:
Got an idea but not sure if it'll fly? An MVP lets you test the waters without betting the house.
Test before you investWant to try a new service or digital product? Build a quick MVP to gauge customer interest.
Low-risk innovationNeed something tangible to show investors? A working MVP speaks louder than a slide deck.
Prove your conceptNeed a quick solution for an internal problem? Build just enough to solve the pain point.
