❓ Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to build an MVP?
Most MVPs ship in 6–12 weeks. We start with a 1–2 week discovery sprint to de‑risk assumptions and define MoSCoW priorities, then build in 2‑week sprints with weekly demos. Launch includes analytics, error monitoring, and rollback plans.
What’s included in the MVP scope?
Core journeys, authentication, initial UI/UX, analytics, performance and security baselines, CI/CD, and monitoring. We use feature flags to reduce risk and prioritise learning over completeness to accelerate product‑market fit.
How much does a typical MVP cost?
Discovery £3k–£7k; build £25k–£65k depending on platforms, complexity (e.g., payments, real‑time), and integrations. We can cap T&M or use fixed‑scope phases aligned to milestones and investor updates.
Do you support both web and mobile MVPs?
Yes. For web we typically use Next.js/Node/Postgres; for mobile, React Native or Flutter with native modules. We advise on stack choices to maximise speed, UX, and scale while minimising future rewrite risk.
Can you integrate payments and subscriptions?
Yes. Stripe/PayPal with SCA, webhooks, receipts, and dunning. We ensure PCI alignment and provide reporting for finance teams and investor due diligence.
How do you handle data privacy and security?
GDPR by design: consent, encryption, access controls, audit logs, incident playbook. Authentication via OAuth2/JWT; secrets managed in the platform vault; dependency scanning and secure SDLC checks in CI.
What analytics do you enable?
GA4, Amplitude or Mixpanel for funnels and cohorts; Sentry for errors; performance budgets; event naming conventions. We set up dashboards tied to activation, retention, and conversion.
Will the MVP be scalable?
Yes. We define performance budgets, choose scalable data stores (e.g., Postgres/Supabase), and design APIs (REST/GraphQL) that support iteration. We use observability to inform scale‑up decisions rather than over‑engineering early.
Do we own the IP?
Absolutely. NDA before brief; contracts assign full IP to you (code, designs, docs). Work happens in private repos with least‑privilege access and an auditable history.
How do you collaborate with our team?
We join your Slack/Teams and JIRA/Linear. Daily standups, weekly demos, and monthly retrospectives keep alignment high. We adopt your coding standards and documentation style.
Can you help with landing pages and SEO?
Yes. Our web team builds responsive, fast pages with SEO, AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation), and schema. See custom website design and responsive web design.
What happens after launch?
We offer a growth retainer for experiments, A/B tests, and performance work. We maintain dependencies, OS updates, and security patches, and can scale the squad as traction grows.
