An MVP, scoped honestly
before anyone commits to a build.

MVP development for a minimum viable product (MVP). That is the smallest working version that tests your main idea, not one built to impress investors. PixelCrayons is your point of contact. We scope what needs building first, write the proposal and build it, with one account team throughout.

What we do

PixelCrayons scopes and builds your MVP, under one proposal and one account team. We scope the smallest version that tests your idea, rather than the longest feature list your budget allows. We stay your account owner throughout. We also do any website, store or marketing work alongside the build.

We scope only what tests your main ideaThe smallest version that tests your assumption, and a plain no to features that don't belong.
Built properly, front and backFront and back end built on a solid structure, not quick fixes that need rewriting later.
One proposal for the whole buildOne written proposal covering the scope and the build, with pricing and acceptance conditions in the same document.

What you get

One contact runs your MVP,
from scope to launch.

We scope only what tests your main idea

PixelCrayons scopes the smallest version that tests the thing you're unsure about. If a feature you ask for doesn't belong in a first version, we say so plainly.

PixelCrayons

Built properly, front and back

Our engineers build the product to the agreed brief. That covers the front end people see and the back end behind it. It sits on a solid structure, not quick fixes that will need rewriting later.

Engineering

One proposal for the whole build

One written proposal covers the scope and the build. The pricing and the sign-off conditions are in the same document. PixelCrayons answers for all of it.

Every engagement

What happens after the MVP

If the MVP proves your idea, the same account team scopes what comes next. That may be more engineering, or web and marketing work.

After launch

We still do the marketing and website work

A landing page, a waitlist site or the marketing for your launch sits in the same proposal. The same account team runs it.

PixelCrayons

How it works

From your brief to a working MVP,
scoped honestly.

Start

Brief and a call

We sign an NDA and you tell us the idea you need to test. Then we scope the smallest version that tests it.

Once the brief is complete

Itemised proposal

We confirm the date your proposal arrives. It names the scope, the price and what each part covers.

Your decision

You sign off

You confirm the scope, the payment and the access we need. Nothing starts before this.

Typically 2 to 3 business days later

The build starts

Our engineers start on the agreed scope. Our account team is your one contact.

On the date in your proposal

The MVP, and what it showed

You get the MVP and an honest read on what it showed. The same account team scopes whatever comes next.

Inside Prism

Your engagement, week to week,
in one workspace.

Prism is the client workspace where your requests, approvals, tasks and weekly reviews live.

Some engagements include Prism, our client workspace, and your proposal says whether yours does. Where it does, your build runs in a workspace you log into: requests, approvals, the task list and the weekly review, beside the repository your team already owns.

See how Prism runs an engagement

01
Requests and approvals

Owned tasks
Every task has one owner and a date.

Weekly review
Each decision recorded, with the expectation attached.

How we report it, in Prism

The delivery record,
you can read without a stand-up.

What you receive in month one

Development is reported as artefacts in your own tools, not a status call. In the first month you receive the technical audit of the current codebase, the delivery plan broken into reviewed increments with acceptance criteria, and the environment map showing where code runs and who can deploy it. The weekly review in Prism lists what merged, what was reviewed, and what is blocked and by whom.

01Technical audit: the current codebase, its risks, and the order of fixes
02Delivery plan: increments with acceptance criteria and review owners
03Environment map: development, staging and production, and who deploys
04Weekly review in Prism: merged, in review, blocked, and the reason for each block
05Definition of done: tests, review, accessibility and performance checks per increment

Cutting the scope

Version one or version two:
where each request goes.

We scope the smallest version that tests your idea, not the longest feature list your budget allows. This is how we sort what you ask for before we write the proposal.

What you ask for	Where it goes	Why
The feature that tests the assumption you are unsure about	Version one	It is the reason the MVP exists. We judge every other request against it.
A feature that makes the investor deck look complete	Version two	It does not test the assumption, and we say so plainly rather than build it in.
The architecture underneath	Version one, built properly	We build it on a solid structure, not quick fixes that need rewriting later.
A landing page, a waitlist site or the launch marketing	Alongside the build, in the same proposal	The same account team coordinates it with the build.
A bespoke product at any stage, full product engineering or IoT	Custom Software Development instead	This page is only the first version, built to test an idea before you commit more.
Whatever comes after the MVP proves the assumption	Scoped by the same account team after launch	You get the MVP and an honest view of what it showed, without a new sales pitch.

The proposal covers the scope and the build. The pricing and sign-off conditions are in the same document.

Questions

Frequently
asked.

Our Vinove group engineering team does the engineering. PixelCrayons scopes the version worth building first, writes the single proposal and stays your account owner throughout. We also do any website, store or marketing work alongside it. PixelCrayons is the company you contract with, and we answer for every commitment.

That's fine: it is what the first conversation is for. PixelCrayons scopes the smallest version that tests your main idea. If a feature belongs in version two rather than version one, we tell you plainly.

They are related but different. Custom software development (/development/custom-software-development) covers a bespoke build at any stage, including full product engineering and IoT. This page is only about the first version, built to test an idea before you commit more. Either page leads to the right proposal.

One. You sign with PixelCrayons, and we answer for every commitment in the proposal. Problems, billing and progress reports go through the account team you signed with.

There's no flat rate card. The features in scope and the platform choice set the cost, not a page count. Every proposal is priced against your brief. It lists exactly what you get in each part. Once we have a complete brief, we confirm when your proposal arrives.
