What you get
What’s included in MVP development for startups
Scope to launch
The smallest set of features that tests your idea with real users.
Design
Clickable flows and screens before development starts.
Build
A production-ready web app with sign-up, payments and an admin area.
Analytics
Events and funnels in place so you can see what users do from day one.
Launch
Hosting, domain, email and monitoring set up.
Next version
A plan for version two based on what the first users show you.
Tools we use: Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Stripe, Vercel.
Choosing
Should you start with a prototype, no-code tool or coded MVP?
Start with a clickable prototype when your main uncertainty is whether people understand and want the idea. You can change the screens without writing code, making it useful for testing the proposed flow. A no-code tool such as Bubble, Glide or Softr is an option for testing demand with a working product. Its flexibility becomes harder to manage when you need custom logic, usage grows or you want to move to code later.
A coded MVP fits when custom logic, data or integrations are central to the value, or when you intend the first version to grow into the product. That choice puts development effort into the working product from the start. For a marketplace, you could recruit suppliers personally and build software for the side whose behaviour is still uncertain. We help you compare these choices against what you need to learn and what the first version must do.

What Brighton organisations need from an MVP
Brighton has retail, creative, digital and new media businesses. An agency or consultancy turning a repeated service into a product needs its workflow captured in software, with client logins and payments. For a retailer testing a new product line, a separate first version can let the existing business keep operating while the new idea is put in front of users.
Tourism businesses in Brighton may need to test demand before investing in automation. An MVP could leave a step such as matching orders or emailing reports with the team while users try the service. A first-time founder connected with the University of Brighton has a different decision: test the idea with real users before committing savings or raising money.
Rules
What a UK MVP needs to handle
For cookies used solely for statistics or to adapt a site's appearance to user preferences, UK rules allow use without consent if users receive clear information and an easy way to object. If your MVP uses those cookies, we set up information about their purpose and an easy-to-use objection control. We put that control alongside the relevant cookie settings, so users have a way to find and use it.
How it runs
How an MVP project runs with us
We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. India is 5h30m ahead of the UK, or 4h30m during British Summer Time, from the last Sunday in March to the last Sunday in October. The shared board keeps decisions and work visible across the time difference.
- 01
Design
We prepare clickable flows and screens before development starts. You review the proposed experience and help identify anything users might struggle to understand.
- 02
Build
As development proceeds, you line up the first users who have agreed to try the product and give honest feedback.
- 03
Launch
We set up hosting, the domain, email and monitoring so the first users can reach and use the product.
- 04
Learn
After launch, we use analytics alongside short user interviews. You can see where people stop and ask them why.
- 05
Plan
We use what the first users show you to make a plan for version two, keeping the next decisions grounded in their behaviour.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Bring your priorities: every feature added before launch delays learning and makes it harder to tell what users value.
- The single result that would prove the idea, such as repeat use or paid conversions.
- A feature list split into must-haves and later items, with a reason for each must-have.
- Names of people who will try it and a plan for reaching more users once it works.
- The alternatives users rely on today, including spreadsheets or manual workarounds, and where they fall short.
- The target you will use to judge the launch and the decision that target will trigger.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline of MVP development?
The scope determines how much design and development work is needed before you can learn from users.
User types
Each type needs its own flows; a marketplace serving both sides adds substantial shared-backend and user-flow work.
Real-time features
Chat and live updates add work beyond what their screen count suggests.
Design polish
Standard components involve less work than a custom brand system with animation.
Features held back
Extra roles, settings pages, multiple languages and discount codes can wait until users ask for them.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Brighton
Page updated 5 November 2026
What does an MVP development company do?
It builds the core sequence a user needs to complete to get value, then makes that sequence available for real use. For example, a user might post a request, receive offers, choose one and pay. A production-ready MVP needs working sign-up and payments, with data stored safely; a clickable prototype tests understanding instead.
How much does an MVP cost?
There is no fixed price: the scope drives the work. Integrations with outside systems can add scope quickly, as can AI features that need prompt design and testing against real examples. Discuss the systems and AI behaviour your idea needs when agreeing the scope, so the work can be assessed against the product you want to test.
Should I charge users for the first version?
Charge from the start if your main question is whether people will pay for the product. A free beta can bring in more users, but it gives weaker evidence about whether the product will sell. Choose the approach that gives you the evidence you need for the next decision about your idea.
Will I own the MVP after launch?
Yes. You own your code, content and domain, with no lock-in. As the product grows, the work after an MVP can include repaying shortcuts, adding tests around the core loop and automating steps that were handled manually. Ownership means those assets remain yours as you decide how to take the product forward.
How do I decide what to do after launch?
Use the success criteria you agreed before launch to decide whether to continue, change direction or stop. Watch what users actually do, particularly whether they come back or pay. Praise from friends and family is less useful as validation than observing the behaviour of people who are not connected to you.
