About this service

Summary

I help startups build and launch powerful SaaS MVPs in just a few weeks using a modern, scalable tech stack. From user authentication to billing, dashboards, and cloud deployment—your entire product is handled with production-ready quality and startup-friendly speed.

Process

1. Discovery & Roadmap

We align on business goals, features, user roles, data structure, and key use cases. You’ll get a mini roadmap with key milestones.

2. Architecture Planning

Choose between REST or GraphQL, define data models, database structure, and system flow. I finalize the stack and begin setup.

3. UI Design or Integration

Use provided designs (Figma/XD) or I’ll build a clean UI foundation using your brand direction and design inspiration.

4. Backend & API Development

Develop core business logic, user flows, billing systems, and database integration with proper auth and validations.

5. Frontend Development

Connect APIs to the UI with pages for login, signup, dashboard, profile, billing, and more.

6. Testing & QA

Run backend and frontend tests using Jest, Supertest, and Playwright. Validate flows and fix performance issues.

7. Deployment & Launch

Push to your preferred hosting platform with database, environment configs, and full project handover.

8. Post-launch Support (Optional)

Support for updates, feedback-based iterations, or scaling infrastructure after initial release.

FAQs

How long does it take to deliver an MVP?
Typically 3–6 weeks depending on feature scope. I offer weekly updates and fast feedback loops.
Will you help define the product scope?
Yes! I can help you shape the MVP by prioritizing features and providing tech guidance on what to build first.
What’s included in billing integration?
Recurring payments, invoices, trial handling, webhooks, and user-level access changes tied to subscription status.
Can I get a no-code CMS for content?
Yes, I can integrate with Sanity, Strapi, or Headless CMS if you want non-devs to manage content easily.
Is this built to scale beyond MVP?
Absolutely. Code structure, DB design, and API architecture are designed for long-term growth and modular expansion.
Can you help after delivery?
Yes. I offer ongoing support, feature upgrades, and DevOps scaling via hourly or retainer packages.
Will I get the source code?
100%. You’ll receive all code, credentials, and documentation needed for full control over your product.
What if I don’t have a design?
I can build a modern starter UI with clean design principles or help you source a UI template.
Do you write tests?
Yes. Critical flows will be tested via unit and integration tests to ensure your MVP is solid from day one.
Can I deploy to Vercel instead of AWS?
Absolutely. I can help with Vercel, AWS, DigitalOcean, or any stack that fits your budget and scaling plan.
