MVP Development
Learn Before You Build It All
I do MVP development myself: I scope the smallest version worth testing, build it and show you what users did.

MVP Development Problems
Runway burned on features nobody asked for
A founder hires a team to build the product. The list grows: accounts, dashboards, notifications, a mobile version. Months pass and money goes out. When the product launches, users ignore half the features and ask for something nobody built. The founder cannot say which feature mattered, because everything shipped at once.
The founder also cannot see inside the build. Status calls replace evidence, the code sits in the vendor's account and nobody can say what the money produced. A first version should teach something. Too often it only costs something.

MVP Development Company
One person scopes, builds and reports
I am Justin Harris. I have worked in Las Vegas digital marketing for fourteen years, built for more than 300 Valley businesses and I am rated five stars on Google. I do the work myself. You talk to the person writing the code, and you can see what is built at every step.
An MVP with me starts with one question: what is the riskiest assumption in the plan? The first version is built to test that assumption cheaply, and a plain report afterward says what users did.

- Code, hosting and accounts in your name
- A written scope: what is in version one and what waits
- A working link after every step
- A plain report on what users did

MVP Development Reviews
What clients wrote on Google

After going back and forth on whether to bring in outside help, we ended up working with Justin for some AI consulting on how to structure our operations. He laid out a clear plan, didn't overcomplicate it, and we've been running smoother since. Good fit for a service business. He knows Las Vegas and he knows this stuff.

Justin joined our team a few months before opening to replace a marketing agency that wasn’t performing. He stepped up fast. Within weeks he launched a fully redesigned website with new brand guidelines, built and delivered our marketing plan and AI strategy, and helped implement our system architecture so we could open on time. Since then, he’s made several critical enhancements to the site that helped us generate revenue in our first month. His engagement was supposed to end at opening, but he became such an integral part of our leadership team that we kept him on to help evolve our marketing and tech strategy as we grow. He’s easy to work with, pushes back when it matters, and moves easily between strategy, delivery, and operations depending on what’s needed. If you’re looking for a deeply experienced, knowledgeable, and dedicated marketing, AI, or technology consultant, I highly recommend Justin Harris AI Consulting.

He was always the first one in the office, setting the tone with his strong work ethic and commitment to excellence. What stood out most was how deeply he cared about every client. He approached each project with thoughtfulness, expertise, and a genuine drive to deliver meaningful results. He combines sharp technical knowledge with a practical, solutions-oriented mindset, which makes him especially effective in the AI space. Any organization looking for thoughtful, reliable, and highly skilled AI consulting support would be in great hands working with him!

From what I've seen, Justin knows the AI automation space better than most people I've come across in Las Vegas. He's the kind of person who actually understands the technical side and can explain it without making you feel lost. Good guy, good reputation.

I've Known Justin for a while now and he really knows his stuff when it comes to AI consulting. If people in Las Vegas were to ask me for recommendations in this space, he's the best guy for the job, hands down.

After going back and forth on whether to bring in outside help, we reached out to Justin for some AI consulting advice on where our service business could actually use automation. He was straightforward about what made sense and what didn't. Ended up being a useful conversation. Las Vegas has no shortage of people claiming to be experts, and he's one of the few who could back it up.

Known Justin for a few years now. Guy knows the AI space better than most people I've come across, especially here in Las Vegas where there's no shortage of people claiming to be experts. He actually understands how AI automation works at a practical level, not just the theory. The kind of person who gives you a straight answer with kindness and patience

Knew Justin before he started building AI systems for businesses, and watching what he's put together is genuinely impressive. He built out an AI automation setup for my website in Las Vegas and it changed how we handle leads completely. The guy actually runs this stuff himself, so he knows what works.

MVP Development Services
What I build
Each item ends in something real people can try.
A scoped first version
One core job done end to end, with everything else listed for later and a reason beside each item.
Clickable prototypes
Screens users try before any code is written, so confusion shows up while changes are cheap.
Read more →A working app
The first version built and live in accounts you own, with users, data and backups handled properly.
Read more →A landing page
A page that explains the promise and collects early interest or bookings, measured on its own.
Read more →Tracking
Records of what users did, so the launch teaches you something instead of just happening.
A next-steps list
What to build next, ranked by what users showed you, with a plain note on what to stop.
What Goes in Version One
What goes in v1 and what waits
This is the scoping conversation that matters most.
In: the core job
The one thing a user comes to do, done end to end and working properly, not roughly.
In: sign-in, if needed
Only when the job requires an account. Many first versions work with an email address alone.
In: one way to commit
A payment, a booking or a sign-up, if money or commitment is part of what you are testing.
Waits: extra user types
Admin panels, second roles and approval layers, until the first role is proven.
Waits: polish
Animations, themes and settings that do not help test the central assumption.
Waits: integrations
Anything a spreadsheet or a manual step can stand in for during the test.
MVP Development Framework
The steps I follow
Each step ends in something you can read or click.
- Step 01
State the bet
One sentence on who the product is for and what they will do, written by you and tightened by me.
- Step 02
Find the risk
The assumption most likely to be wrong. If it fails, the product fails, so it gets tested first.
- Step 03
Scope the test
The smallest build that tests the risk, written on one page with a launch date.
- Step 04
Build in steps
A staging link after each piece, so you can see progress and correct course early.
- Step 05
Launch to a few
A small group of real users who match the product's audience, not friends being polite.
- Step 06
Read and decide
Continue, change direction or stop, with the evidence written down beside each choice.
MVP Services
Prototype, pilot or full MVP
| Clickable prototype | Landing page test | Pilot with a few users | Full MVP (picked when needed) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Question answered | Do people understand the idea? | Do people want it enough to sign up? | Will a few people really use it? | Will many people use and pay for it? |
| What is built | Screens only, no code behind | One page and a form, tracked | A narrow working version | A working product with accounts |
| What you learn | Where users get lost | How many people show interest | Whether they return | Whether the business works |
| Typical risk | Looks fine and is untested in use | Few visits mean little | A small sample misleads | Cost and scope creep |
| Time and money | The least | Little | Moderate | The most |
| Best first step when | The idea is hard to explain | Demand is the main doubt | The workflow is the main doubt | Earlier tests already passed |
MVP Mistakes
Six ways an MVP goes wrong
These are common and avoidable.
Building everything
The MVP stops being minimal and takes the whole budget before anything is learned.
No clear bet
Nobody knows what the test is meant to show, so every result can be explained away.
Skipping real users
The team tests with itself and finds the product easy, because the team knows how it works.
Ignoring security
Early users still trust you with their email, passwords and sometimes payments.
No tracking
Nobody can say what users did, so the next decision is a guess dressed as strategy.
No decision rule
Nobody agrees in advance what counts as success, so a weak result gets called a good start.
MVP Development Cost
What moves the price
| Driver | What it means | Effect on scope | What I do | What waits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Features in version one | How many jobs the product does | The largest driver | Cut to the one core job | Everything not needed to test the bet |
| User accounts | Whether people sign in | Adds screens and security work | Use an email-only flow if possible | Roles and permissions |
| Payments | Whether money changes hands | Adds a processor and failure cases | Test with a simple checkout | Subscriptions and invoices |
| Integrations | Connections to other tools | Adds testing and failure notes | Use a manual step during the test | Automation |
| Design | How polished the screens are | Adds design and testing time | Design the core flow carefully | Brand polish |
| Private data | What the product stores | Adds security and review | Collect only what is needed | Extra profile fields |
