Approach

What’s included in the MVP Development

Prototyping

When it comes to MVP development, a clickable prototype is the most effective method to explain and demo your product. Our team will guide you to create a prototype corresponding to various levels of fidelity, and then help you test them with real users to validate our design approach.

Building prototypes based on wireframes, which allow us to validate the user flow. At a later stage, we create clickable prototypes based on the designs, created over the wireframes. Design prototypes allow us to validate both the flows and the design.

The final product prototype is what’s gets built, but you never stop testing and validating, therefore the input you get from your test users flows directly to the MVP design process.

Validated and ready to build

MVP design and implementation

“The MVP development is an important step to get your product to market. The MVP needs to be small enough, so it can be implemented fast and cheap, but it needs to be good enough, so your users can love it. We know how to find that balance.”
