The Problem
Your MVP Has Been Two Weeks From Launch for Months
Early products slip in familiar ways. The scope grows every sprint, the backend belongs to a freelancer who stopped replying, and billing works only for your first plan.
01 · Scope creep
Every sprint adds a feature someone mentioned once.
We cut scope to one core journey and keep a written roadmap for the rest.
02 · Lost backend
The backend lives in a freelancer's account you can't open.
We rebuild or move it into your own Supabase or cloud account, with notes.
03 · Billing gaps
Stripe handles monthly plans but breaks on upgrades and annual billing.
Subscriptions, trials, upgrades, and failed-payment retries get tested before your first invoice.
04 · Data access
Nobody can say which user can see which records.
Row-level rules and roles get tested for every account type before launch.
Your demo day is in three weeks, and the MVP still isn't live. The freelancer who built the backend stopped replying in March, and nobody knows which user can see which data. Stripe works for monthly plans but breaks on annual upgrades. Every sprint adds a feature an investor mentioned once. Meanwhile, 10 pilot users wait for an invite, and a Figma file is the only thing you can show.
We start with a free product call and cut the scope to the one journey your first users need. A clickable prototype goes in front of real users in about 2 weeks, before any code. Then we build that journey with sign-in, roles, and Stripe billing in your own accounts, and test every role against your data rules. You launch something small that works, instead of a demo that only runs on a laptop.
Scope cut to one journey
We build the path your first users need and park the rest on a written roadmap.
Your accounts, your code
Repos, cloud projects, Stripe, and app store listings sit under your company from the first commit.
Tested with real users
Up to 5 user test sessions on the prototype show what to fix before anyone writes code.

Put a tested prototype in front of users first
You have an idea, a pitch deck, and a short runway. You need proof that users want the product before you spend your raise on code.
Pre-seed founders testing an idea: You raised a small pre-seed round and need user feedback on a clickable prototype before you commit the money to a full build.
- A clickable prototype in about 2 weeks
- Findings from up to 5 user tests
- A fixed quote for the build
Plan this setupTypical timeline: 2 to 5 weeks
Our Process
From Free Product Call to Live MVP in Five Steps
You approve a prototype before any code, see a staging link each week, and sign off on role and payment tests before a single user gets an invite.
We talk through your users, your next milestone, and what already exists. You get a written list of what the first release needs and what it can leave out. If a no-code tool already covers your case, we'll tell you before we quote.

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
What clients said after we designed and built their sites and apps.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Not a fit
Budget under $850
Your budget is under $850 and you need one landing page. A Framer or Webflow template you edit yourself will do that job for less.
Equity instead of cash
You want to pay for development with equity. We work on fixed-price contracts, so an equity-for-code deal belongs with a technical cofounder.
Marketing site only
You only need a marketing site, not a product. Our Framer Experts for Hire or Webflow Agency pages cover that with a shorter process.
Selling physical products
You're launching a consumer brand that sells physical goods online. Our Ecommerce Website Development service builds that store on Shopify or WooCommerce instead.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on cost, timelines, Bubble versus code, and who owns your product.

We charge from $850 for a Framer launch site and $4,700 for a tested MVP with sign-in, payments, and an admin panel. Mobile apps start at $1,300 for a prototype tested on phones. Platform builds with tenants, extra modules, an AI feature, and a public API start at $8,600, and every price is fixed after a free product call.
Mobile app development costs from $1,300 for a prototype tested on real phones to $9,200 for a full app with payments, roles, and offline use. Our startup app development services usually begin with that prototype. A first release in both stores from one React Native or Flutter codebase starts at $4,700 and takes 8 to 12 weeks.
Most MVPs go live in 8 to 12 weeks, including about 2 weeks for a prototype and user tests. A Bubble MVP can launch in 6 to 10 weeks, while a SaaS foundation with sign-up and billing takes 2 to 3 weeks on its own. Payments, extra roles, and integrations add time, so we agree the release scope before the build starts.
A software startup is a young company whose main product is software, sold as an app, a SaaS subscription, or a platform. Most begin with a small team, a narrow problem, and limited funding. That makes the first release the riskiest decision: build too much and the money runs out, build too little and nobody pays.
SaaS development is building software that customers use in a browser and pay for by subscription, with one codebase serving every customer. Under the hood that means tenant-separated data, sign-up and roles, recurring billing through a tool such as Stripe, and an admin view of accounts. Updates reach every customer at once, so automated tests matter more than on a one-off website.
SaaS product development is the whole cycle of turning an idea into a subscription product people keep paying for. It runs from research and a prototype to the MVP, the launch, and every release after it. The code is only one part. The rest is deciding what to build next from real usage, which is why the first release ships with product analytics.
MVP software development is building the smallest version of a product that real users can try and pay for. You pick one core journey, such as booking a session or sending an invoice, and build only what that journey needs. Everything else waits for feedback, which keeps the first release cheaper and the lessons faster.
Build on Bubble when speed and budget matter most and your logic fits its data model. A launch-ready Bubble MVP starts at $3,900, and you can change it yourself afterward. Choose code, such as Next.js with Supabase, when you need complex permissions, heavy data, or a mobile app. On Bubble, we keep the data model clean so a later move to code is simpler.
Compare them on how they cut scope, not on how many features they promise. Ask who writes the code, whether you own the repos and cloud accounts from day one, and whether they test a prototype with users first. A fixed-price proposal with a written feature cut list is a good sign. An open-ended hourly estimate is a risk.
You own the code, the designs, and the IP from the first commit, under your company name. Repos, cloud projects, Stripe, and app store listings sit in your accounts, and we use logins you can remove at any time. Support runs 30, 60, or 90 days after launch depending on your plan, and your next developer gets written handover notes.
