MVP development cost: what it depends on, and when a prototype is enough
Why MVP cost depends on the question it answers, how a prototype, an MVP and a full product differ, which parts to build to last, and the questions that set an MVP quote.

Interfaces fail in training, not in review
A design gets approved in a meeting by people who will never use it. It fails months later, when the team that does use it every day needs a workaround, a spreadsheet beside it, or someone to show them where a feature went.
The second place it fails is the handoff. A beautiful file arrives with no states for errors, empty screens or slow data, and the engineers fill the gaps themselves.
So we design with the people who will use the product, for the tasks they do most, and we hand over files that answer the engineers’ questions before they ask.
The real users
The people who use it daily, not only the people who approve it.The daily task
The few things done a hundred times a day, made fast before anything else.The handoff
Every state, component and rule specified, so it is built as designed.
UI/UX design services
Six kinds of design work. New products usually need the first three; existing ones usually start with an audit.
UX research and audits
Interviews, task analysis and a UX audit of what exists, ranked by what costs your users the most time.Product and SaaS design
Flows, screens and onboarding for subscription products, from the first login to the daily task.Dashboard design
Data views people act on: the right number, its comparison, and the next step.Design systems
Components, tokens and rules shared by design and code, so new screens stay consistent.Mobile app design
iOS and Android screens designed for one hand, poor signal and short sessions.Usability testing
Prototypes tested with real users before a line of code, then measured again after launch.
Recent design work from our team
Dashboard design
Dashboard design for data people act on
Most dashboards show everything and help with nothing. We design them around the decisions the people reading them make.
One decision per view
Each screen answers one question someone asks every day or every week.Numbers with their comparison
A figure means little without last month, the target or the norm beside it.Drill-down that keeps context
From the total to the record behind it without losing where you started.Speed as a design limit
Designed for the data volumes you actually have, so the screen loads before the meeting ends.
What a UX audit should deliver
If you buy a UX audit from anyone, us included, this is what to expect back. A slide deck of opinions is not one.
- The tasks users do most, and how long each one takes today
- Where users fail or give up, from analytics and from watching them
- Each problem ranked by how much time or revenue it costs
- A recommended fix for each, with the effort it takes to build
- Accessibility issues against a named standard
- The quick fixes separated from the ones that need a redesign
We design, build and grow software for mid-size and large companies, and the people who build it are the people you talk to.

When design is not what you need
Three cases where we will say so:
The problem is the product, not the screens
If users do not need what the product does, a better interface will not fix it. Test the idea first.You cannot reach your users
Design without the people who use the product is guesswork. If access is impossible, settle that first.Nobody will build it
A design that never ships is a cost. If engineering capacity is the gap, start there; we can provide both.
Design earns its cost when people use the product every day and the interface is what slows them down.
From research to a product people adopt
Step 1 of 5
Discovery
We map your workflows, systems, and constraints with the people who use them every day, before anything is scoped. For design: interviews and observation with the people who use the product, and a review of the analytics.
Discovery
- Workflow map
- Systems inventory
- Constraints and risks
Step 2 of 5
Scope and plan
You get a scope, a timeline, and a price that hold. Architecture decisions are made and documented before code starts. The flows and screens in scope, ranked by how often they are used.
Scope and plan
- Written scope
- Timeline and milestones
- A price that holds
- Architecture decisions
Step 3 of 5
Build in stages
Senior engineers deliver in planned stages, with working software demonstrated at every step, not a reveal at the end. Designs tested as prototypes with users before they are handed over.

- Planned stages
- Working software every step
- Senior engineers on the code
Step 4 of 5
Launch
Data migration, training, and a production cutover planned around your operations and your calendar, not ours. Engineers get components, states and specs in Figma, and designers stay through the build.
Launch
- Data migration
- Team training
- Production cutover
Step 5 of 5
Run and improve
The team that built your system stays on it: monitoring, support, and the next improvements on one roadmap. Adoption and task times measured after launch, and the next round of fixes planned from them.

What you are actually buying
Designed with real users
The people who use the product daily shape it, not only the people who approve it.Files engineers can build from
Every state, component and rule specified, so it ships as designed.Design and engineering together
We also build what we design, so nothing is designed that cannot be built.Measured on adoption
Success is how fast people do their work, not how the screens look in a deck.

What do UI/UX design services include?
Research with the people who use the product, the flows and structure (UX), the screens and visual design (UI), a design system, prototypes tested with users, and a handoff your engineers can build from. Most projects need all of it; some start with a UX audit to find where to begin.
What is a UX audit?
A UX audit reviews an existing product against how people actually use it: the most common tasks, where they fail, and what each problem costs. It ends in a ranked list of fixes with the effort each one takes, so you can decide what to build first.
How much do UI/UX design services cost?
It depends on the number of flows and screens, the research involved, and whether a design system is part of the work. We scope those first and price against them.
How do you hand designs over to developers?
In Figma, with components, every state (loading, empty, error) and the rules for spacing and behaviour written down. Designers stay available through the build, so questions get answered rather than guessed.
Do you design for accessibility?
Yes. Contrast, keyboard use, screen reader labels and readable type are part of the design, checked against a named standard rather than left to the end.
Can you redesign an existing product?
Yes, and most of our design work is exactly that. We start with an audit so the redesign fixes what costs users the most, and keeps what already works.
Do you build the product too?
Yes. The same company builds what it designs: custom software, SaaS products and web applications.
