Week-by-Week MVP Timeline
Week 0: Discovery
Requirements workshop, user flow mapping, tech stack decision, fixed-price quote. You deliver: clear problem statement, 2–3 competitor references, must-have feature list.
Weeks 1–2: Design
Wireframes → UI design → your approval. One round of revisions included. Output: clickable prototype and design system.
Weeks 3–4: Sprint 1
Auth, database schema, core workflow skeleton. Demo: users can sign up and complete primary action (even if rough).
Weeks 5–6: Sprint 2
Billing integration, admin panel, email notifications, polish on core workflow. Demo: end-to-end paid user journey works.
Week 7: QA & Hardening
Cross-browser testing, mobile responsive fixes, security review, performance baseline.
Week 8: Launch
Production deployment, monitoring setup, documentation handover, 30-day support begins.

When 8 Weeks Is Not Realistic
