MVP development for startups
Turn an idea into a first version people can use: a web platform, a mobile app or an online store, scoped and priced before work starts, and released every week.
Adil replies within 1 business day with times for a 15-minute video call.
An MVP is the smallest version of your product that real people can use, so you learn from them before you spend more. ShipFastDev builds MVPs for founders and small teams: web platforms, mobile apps for iOS and Android, and online stores. The scope and the price are agreed before work starts, you can try progress every week, and the code is in your own repository from the first day.
Who this is for
- Founders without a technical team who have an idea, some early interest and need a first version that works, not a slide deck.
- Teams that outgrew a prototype: a no-code tool, a spreadsheet or a demo that can't take real users, payments or more data.
- Businesses adding a product next to what they already sell, such as booking, ordering or a customer area.
What gets built
Most MVPs combine three parts: the product people use (a web app, a mobile app or both), an admin panel for your team, and the backend that holds the data and rules. They're built with tools that are widely used and easy to hire for later: Laravel, React, Next.js and NestJS on the web, Expo and React Native for iOS and Android apps, and WordPress where a content site is enough. A web platform and its mobile app can share one backend, so a booking made in the app is the same booking your team sees in the admin.
How it works
- A free 15-minute call. You describe the problem, who it's for and your deadline. Adil replies to the form within 1 business day with times for the call, and you get a clear estimate after it.
- The first version, written down. What's in, what waits, and in which order. Scoping is where most of the cost is decided; the article on how to scope an MVP explains the method.
- A release every week. On Monday you agree the week's goals on a short call. Midweek you get a preview link to try what's in progress. On Friday it's released, with notes in plain language: what changed and what's next.
- After the launch. Keep improving it with ongoing development, or take the code and run it yourself. Either way, it's already yours.
An example: Driveway Morocco
Driveway Morocco is ShipFastDev's own car-rental product: a Laravel and React platform where customers search the fleet, see live availability and book online with a digital contract and payment, plus an Expo app that books on the same platform. It's live at drivewaymorocco.com. The portfolio shows the client work.
What it costs
The price depends on what's in the first version: the number of screens and roles, payments, integrations, and whether you need a mobile app on day one. You get the price before any work starts, based on the written scope, so there are no surprises later. For the factors that move the cost and how to keep it down, read how much an MVP costs.
Always included
- You own the code from day one, in your own repository.
- Release notes in plain language after every release.
- You work directly with Adil; trusted specialists join when a project needs them.
Frequently asked questions
How long does an MVP take to build?
It depends on what's in the first version. The written scope lists the phases and what ships first, and you see working software every Friday, so you never wait months to find out where things stand.
Who owns the code?
You do. It lives in your own repository from the first day. The article on code ownership when outsourcing lists what to check in any contract.
I already have a no-code prototype. Do we start over?
Not always. The call covers what the prototype does well and where it stops, and whether to extend it or rebuild the parts that can't grow. The article on no-code vs custom development compares the two.
Can you build the mobile app too?
Yes. iOS and Android apps are built with Expo and React Native, on the same backend as the web platform, so you maintain one set of data and rules.
