Your first version, built properly

For founders who don't write code and want a first version they can put in front of real users, or whose AI-built prototype has reached its limits. We keep version one small, build it to last, and get it into the stores.

Two ways founders come to us

  • "I have an idea and some research." We help you cut it down to the one thing a user must be able to do on day one, then build that.
  • "I built a prototype with AI, and the audit says rebuild." We keep what you learned from the prototype (the screens, the flows, the feedback) and build a clean version under it. Your audit fee counts towards the build.

Already have a prototype that mostly works? Fix and ship it with Ship It instead.

How it works

  1. Scoping (about 1 week). We agree who it is for, what version one does, and what it won't do yet. You get a written scope, screen list and a fixed price.
  2. Build (typically 4 to 8 weeks). Two-week cycles. A test build on your phone every week, through TestFlight or BetaDrop.
  3. Launch. Store listings, review, and your first users.
  4. Care. Optional monthly plan, or a clean handover.

Price: fixed, and set only after an audit or a scoping call. First versions start from $8,500.

What makes our MVPs different

  • Native where it matters. If your app lives on the phone (camera, location, offline, notifications), we build it in Swift and Kotlin, or Flutter when one codebase fits better. We'll tell you which and why. See our iOS and Android work.
  • Small on purpose. We push back on scope. The list of what you won't build yet protects your budget more than any contract.
  • Built so others can work on it. Clear code, tests where money and data are involved, and documentation. Another team could take it over.
  • You own everything. Code, accounts and store listings in your name from day one.

Questions to ask any team you hire

From our free 15-point check:

  • Did they ask you hard questions before quoting?
  • Will you own the code, the accounts and the store listings?
  • Can you talk to the people who write the code?
  • What happens after launch?

Your accounts, your code.

  • Accounts stay in your name

    Your GitHub, hosting, Supabase or Firebase, Stripe, and App Store and Play Store accounts stay yours. We are invited as collaborators.

  • No passwords or admin keys

    You never send us passwords or admin keys. You add us to each account, and you can remove us at any time.

  • You keep the code

    The code lives in your repository, not ours. If you stop working with us, there is nothing to hand back.

  • NDA first, if you want one

    We are happy to sign your NDA before the audit.

What clients say

  • “Immersive Mobile Designs helped us move quickly on our MVP and brought structure to a project that was still evolving. They delivered solid work, stayed flexible when requirements changed, and gave us confidence as we moved toward launch.”

    Emily K.Founder, HealthTech App
  • “What stood out most was their ability to understand both the technical side and the business side of our SaaS product. They weren’t just coding features, they were helping us build a better platform overall.”

    David L.CEO, B2B SaaS Startup

Questions founders ask

I'm looking for a technical co-founder. Is hiring you instead a good idea?

For version one, often yes. It gets you to real users and real data sooner, which also makes the co-founder conversation easier. We can help you hire your own team later and hand over cleanly.

Can you build it with AI tools to keep it cheap?

We use AI tools in our own work where they help. We don't hand you a prototype and call it a product. The parts that handle money, data and logins get written and reviewed by an engineer.

What if my needs change during the build?

They will a bit, and that's fine. Small changes fit inside the two-week cycles. Bigger ones get priced before we start them, so the fixed price stays fixed.
