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, a web app or a mobile app?
Start with the question you need to answer. A clickable prototype suits an idea you need people to understand and react to before you build working software. It needs no code and is quick to change, so you can revise screens and flows as you learn what makes sense to users. It does not give you the same evidence as watching people use a working product.
A web app is a practical choice when you want to change the product quickly without waiting for a store review. A mobile app fits when the main action depends on the camera, location or frequent notifications. For a marketplace, you can also recruit suppliers personally at first and build software for the side whose behaviour you most need to understand.
We help you decide what the first version needs, build it and plan what comes next. That decision starts with the behaviour you want to observe, then moves to the screens and features needed to make it possible.
Local
What Leicester organisations may need from an MVP
The University of Leicester and De Montfort University are both in the city. A teacher turning their subject knowledge into software needs a defined first use for the product and help building it, so people can try the idea before further features are added.
Hosiery, textiles and footwear became major industrial employers in Leicester. A founder from those sectors who wants to turn a repeated service into a product could start by capturing the workflow in software, with client logins and payments. A startup preparing to raise funds needs a working product and real usage data to show investors.
Rules
What a UK MVP needs to handle
If your MVP uses cookies solely for statistics without asking for consent, UK rules require clear information and an easy way for users to object. We set up the cookie information and objection route alongside analytics. Include both in the screens you review, so the choice is clear to the people trying the product and is part of the launch work.
How it runs
How an MVP project runs with us
We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. India time 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 scope and feedback visible across that difference.
- 01
Discover
We learn about your business, audience and goals, then agree the scope with you. Tell us which user behaviour you need the first release to test.
- 02
Design
We prepare clickable flows and screens before development starts. You review how a user moves through the product while the design is still open to change.
- 03
Build
The same team handles design, development and launch. While we build, you line up people who have agreed to try the product and give honest feedback.
- 04
Launch
We set up hosting, the domain, email and monitoring. Your first users can then try the working product and show you what they do.
- 05
Plan the next version
We use what those first users show you to plan what comes next. Your feedback helps decide which observations need further attention.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Bring what you know about the problem and the people you want to reach.
- Describe what users do today, including competitors, spreadsheets or manual workarounds, and where those options fall short.
- Sort features into must-have and later, with a reason beside each must-have.
- Name the people who will try the product and how you will reach more users once it works.
- Set a target for the launch and the decision you will make when you see the result.
- Bring evidence that people care, such as interview notes, a waitlist or people paying for a workaround.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline of an MVP
The scope and technical choices determine how much work the build involves.
Custom logic and integrations
A coded MVP suited to custom logic, data or integrations calls for different work from a product built without those requirements.
Live features
Chat and live updates add work beyond what their screen count suggests.
Design
Standard components keep the interface smaller than a custom brand system with animation.
Features held back
Extra roles, multiple languages, discount codes and complex dashboards can wait until users ask for them.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid with an MVP
Leaving the first experience broken
Test sign-up and the first screen. A failure there can stop users before they have had a fair chance to try the idea.
Counting praise as proof
Watch what people outside your friends and family actually do, particularly whether they return or pay.
Treating code as disposable
Keep it clean and documented, with tests around the core loop. The MVP code may become part of the product you continue building.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Leicester
Page updated 5 November 2026
What does an MVP development company do?
It builds a working version around the core sequence a user needs to complete. For example, that could mean posting a request, receiving offers, choosing one and paying. The aim is to observe what users actually do with the product, rather than only hear their reaction to an idea.
What is included in MVP development?
The scope can include a production-ready web app with sign-up, payments and an admin area. That admin area gives you a practical way to run the service behind the scenes: you can approve users, correct records and handle refunds without asking a developer to do each task.
How much does MVP development cost?
There is no fixed price for every MVP. The number of user types and the payment flow are major drivers: a marketplace has separate flows for each side, while subscriptions, split payouts or held funds add rules and testing compared with a one-off card payment.
Should I charge users or launch a free beta?
Choose based on the evidence you need. Charging from the start tests whether people are willing to pay for the product. A free beta brings in more users, but it gives you weaker evidence that the product will sell. Decide which answer is more useful before setting up the first release.
Who owns the MVP after launch?
You own your code, content and domain, with no lock-in. That gives you control over the assets as the product develops. As usage grows, the work after an MVP can include repaying shortcuts, adding tests around the core loop and automating steps you initially handled by hand.
What happens after the MVP launches?
We plan the next version around what the first users show you. Use the success criteria agreed before launch to decide whether to continue, change direction or stop. That gives each observation a purpose: it helps you make a decision about the product instead of treating every result as encouraging.
