MVP · Rapid prototyping & development
MVP development: a working product in 10 days, to validate your idea before investing more.
An MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is a simple, working version of your product, designed to be tested by real users before you invest in a full version. At SdV, MVP development is handled by one team that scopes, builds and hosts your MVP, on production infrastructure we run ourselves, in France, so the validated version can evolve without being rebuilt from scratch.
No commitment. An initial discussion to define your idea and its minimum scope.
Why build an MVP before going further?
Three pitfalls come up again and again when an idea goes straight to a full product: a development cycle that runs too long before the first user feedback, a budget committed to a full version before any validation, and decisions based on assumptions rather than hard evidence. An MVP tackles all three at once.
A controlled investment
An MVP requires a minimal budget, compared with a full solution built on needs that are still poorly defined: most of the investment comes once the idea is validated, not before.
Validation through real use
Testing your concept with real users makes your decisions safer than relying on unverified assumptions, and lets you change course early, before the cost of a wrong choice grows.
Deliberate focus
An MVP doesn’t try to be complete: it sticks to what is strictly needed to validate the initial hypothesis, even if that means a deliberately incomplete version while you validate it.
Why build your MVP with SdV?
Many agencies deliver a prototype and stop there. At SdV, the same team stays responsible for the project from scoping to go-live, and beyond.
One team, from scoping to go-live
Scoping, design, development and hosting are all handled by the same team: no loss of context between a design agency, a freelance developer and a hosting provider you have to coordinate yourself.
Production infrastructure from the prototype stage
Your MVP runs on the same infrastructure we operate ourselves, in France, ISO 27001 certified and HDS certified if needed, not on demo hosting that has to be redone once the idea is validated.
Support that doesn’t stop at delivery
Once your MVP is validated, the same team can evolve it, maintain it or fix a technical issue, without starting from scratch with a new provider.
ISO 27001 & HDS certified
From the prototype stage, your MVP is hosted on ISO 27001-certified infrastructure. If your project will handle health data, a dedicated HDS offering, certified across all 6 ANS scopes, can be activated without changing hosting provider.
How a 10-day MVP project works
From scoping to go-live, with regular validation points rather than a single delivery at the end of the project.
Step 01
Scoping & minimal scope
Together, we define the hypothesis to test: context, target users, user stories, and prioritisation of the features strictly needed to validate it, nothing more.
Step 02
Interface design
Interactive mock-ups and user journeys approved with you before any development.
Step 03
Iterative development
Development in sprints, with regular reviews to adjust the scope as we go, rather than a black box until delivery.
Step 04
Testing & go-live
Your MVP is tested with you against the initial hypothesis, then deployed on our production infrastructure, ready to welcome its first users.
Step 05
Post-launch support
We analyse the first user feedback with you and adjust the product accordingly, so you can decide on the next step with real data.
What we take care of for your MVP
Scoping & requirements
We clarify the hypothesis to test, the target users and the priority features, so we only build what’s needed for validation.
UX/UI design
Visual mock-ups and user journeys, designed to be tested quickly by real users, not to be perfect from the first version.
Custom development
Your MVP is built by our custom development team, with the option to evolve the code into a full product later on.
Hosting & production infrastructure
Your MVP is hosted on infrastructure we run ourselves, in France, ready to scale from a handful of testers to real users without any migration.
Testing & user acceptance
Regular test points during development rather than a single acceptance phase at the end, to check as we go that the product really addresses the initial hypothesis.
Evolving into a full product
If your MVP validates the hypothesis, the code and infrastructure already in place become the foundation for the full version, rather than being set aside and taken over by another provider.
Clear pricing for a scope defined at the outset
By nature, an MVP has a scope defined at the scoping stage, so we know exactly what the 10-day sprint costs before we start. Beyond that initial scope, every project is different, and we build the price with you.

Your questions about MVP development
An MVP (Minimum Viable Product) is a simple, working version of your product, limited to the features needed to test a hypothesis with real users. Unlike a finished product, it isn’t meant to cover every use case from the start: the goal is to learn fast, before investing more.
Because that means committing a large budget to needs that are still poorly defined, and making decisions based on assumptions rather than hard evidence. An MVP lets you test your idea with real users before investing in a full version, and shape that full version on real feedback rather than guesswork.
At SdV, we build your MVP in 10 days, from scoping to go-live. Post-launch support, to adjust the product based on the first user feedback, comes afterwards.
Yes, you’re free to do what you want with it: the code belongs to you and remains reusable if you want to develop it yourself or switch provider later on.
Yes. Your MVP is hosted on infrastructure we run ourselves, in France, and we remain available after go-live to adjust it or step in if a technical need arises.
Yes, and that’s one of the benefits of building it with the same team: the MVP’s code and infrastructure become the foundation for the full product, rather than being set aside once the idea is validated.
No. We work both with project founders who have no technical team and with companies that want to outsource a one-off development without tying up their own resources.
A 10-day MVP sprint costs €6,500 excl. VAT, covering scoping, interface design, development, testing and go-live. For a broader scope (additional features, extended post-launch support), we prepare a tailored quote after an initial conversation.
