Summary

FAQs

• ❓ What can you build with no-code (Framer)?

  A LOT: User authentication/login systems, data management (CRUD operations), payment processing, user dashboards, content management, booking systems, directory platforms, marketplaces (simple), SaaS tools, productivity apps, member platforms, and much more. Limitations: no native mobile apps, no real-time collaboration (like Google Docs), no heavy computational processing.

• ❓ How is this different from traditional coding?

  Faster (weeks vs. months), more affordable (1/3 to 1/5 the cost), easier to iterate, you can make changes yourself, and perfect for MVPs/validation. Tradeoff: less customizable for extremely complex features. But for 80% of MVPs, no-code is ideal.

• ❓ What if my MVP needs grow beyond Framer's capabilities?

  We design with future scalability in mind. If you outgrow Framer, your design system and user flows translate directly to custom development. Many successful startups validate with no-code, then rebuild in traditional code once they have product-market fit and funding.

• ❓ How many features can the MVP include?

  Typically 3-5 core features. Remember, MVP = Minimum Viable Product. We focus on features essential to solve your users' primary problem and validate your concept. Additional features come in Phase 2 after user feedback.

• ❓ Can users actually sign up and use this?

  Yes! This is a fully functional web application. Real users can create accounts, log in, use features, save data, make payments (if applicable), and everything works like a "real" app – because it is real.

• ❓ What about user data and security?

  User authentication services (Clerk, Auth0, Firebase) handle security professionally with encryption, secure password storage, and compliance standards. Data can be stored in Framer CMS, Airtable, Firebase, or other secure databases.

• ❓ Do you help with product strategy and feature decisions?

  Yes! The discovery phase specifically addresses this. I'll help you identify your core value proposition, prioritize features ruthlessly, and design the right MVP scope. My 6+ years building products helps you avoid common first-time founder mistakes.

• ❓ Can I get investor funding with a no-code MVP?

  Absolutely. Many funded startups (including some unicorns) started with no-code MVPs. Investors care about traction, user feedback, and validated demand – not whether you used Framer or React. A working product beats a pitch deck every time.

• ❓ What happens after the MVP launches?

  Three common paths: 1. Iterate and improve in Framer based on user feedback (I can continue on retainer), 2. Rebuild in traditional code for scaling, 3. Pivot based on learnings. We'll discuss the best path based on your results.

• ❓ What if I need ongoing development after launch?

  I offer monthly retainer packages starting at $1,500/month for ongoing MVP development, feature additions, user feedback implementation, and continuous improvement.
