Build my MVP
From a scoped idea to a tested release
Take a scoped idea from a paid discovery phase through a tested, deployed release. Typical range: $2,500–$5,000, 40–70 hours over 5–9 weeks at part-time capacity.
How the build is structured
Paid discovery
A short, paid scoping step before any build work starts. Output is a written scope, a budget band, and a timeline, for both of us to agree on before committing further.
Core journey
The single path a first user takes through the product, from sign-up to the moment it delivers value, mapped before any screen is built.
Prioritized features
Everything beyond the core journey is ranked. What ships in this engagement versus what's explicitly deferred is written down, not assumed.
UI
Functional, clean interface for the scoped screens, not a from-scratch brand identity or a full design system.
Implementation
The build itself, in the stack that fits the scope: typically React/Next.js, Angular, TypeScript, and a FastAPI or Node backend.
Integrations
Wiring up the third-party services the product actually needs (auth, payments, email, etc.) as scoped in discovery.
Staging review
You use the real thing on a staging environment and sign off before it goes anywhere near production.
Deployment
Shipping to production infrastructure, configured and documented.
Handover
Docs and a walkthrough of what was built, how it's deployed, and how to extend it, so you're not locked to me afterward.
Exclusions & scope changes
Set expectations up front so nothing about the engagement is a surprise.
Not included by default
- Custom brand identity or marketing design
- Native mobile apps (iOS/Android)
- Features outside the discovery-scoped core journey
- Long-term infrastructure ownership after handover
If scope changes mid-build
New requirements discovered after discovery are logged, priced, and confirmed before they're built, not silently absorbed into the original estimate or silently dropped.
