Why a subscription instead of a fixed project price?

Because MVPs always evolve. A fixed-price contract locks scope on day one — but founders learn things mid-build. The subscription model lets you adjust as you go without renegotiating a contract. You pay $3,499/mo, I ship in 2–4 day cycles, and you cancel when you're done or keep going to add features.

Can you really ship in 3 weeks?

For a scoped MVP with clear requirements — yes. GigEasy was 3 weeks from kickoff to investor demo. The key is keeping scope tight. If the list of features grows, so does the timeline. I'll tell you upfront what fits in 3 weeks and what doesn't.

What tech stack do you use for MVPs?

Laravel for the backend (PHP, battle-tested, fast to build with), React or Next.js on the frontend, PostgreSQL for data, and AWS for infrastructure. This is the same stack I used at GigEasy. It scales and it ships fast.

Do I own the code after launch?

100%. Every engagement includes a Work Made for Hire clause. The repo, the cloud accounts, the design — all of it transfers to you the moment final payment clears. Invoicing runs as standard B2B, which keeps things clean on both ends.

What happens after the MVP launches?

You can move to my Custom Web Applications subscription ($3,499/mo) to keep building. Or take the code to your own team. I'll document everything and give you a proper handover either way. No lock-in.

What a scoped MVP includes

Every MVP engagement covers the core of a working product — nothing more, nothing less. Scope creep kills MVPs. I keep it tight.

User authentication

Signup, login, password reset, and session management. Secure, tested, and ready for real users from day one.

Core feature

The one thing your product does that no other tool does. I scope it with you, build it cleanly, and ship it working.

Payments

Stripe integration for one-time payments or subscriptions. You start generating revenue the day you launch.

Deploy to production

AWS infrastructure, CI/CD pipeline, custom domain, SSL. Your MVP goes live — not just to staging.

How it works

Three steps from call to launch.

Discover

One call, 60 minutes. I'll define what goes in, what stays out, and what launch looks like. You get a written scope and a fixed price within 48 hours.

Build

I code in 2-4 day cycles. You see working software — not Figma mocks — on a shared staging link. Feedback is async via Slack or Loom.

Ship

Production deploy, domain setup, monitoring. I hand you the repo, the cloud account, and a short walkthrough. Everything is yours.
