Build an MVP without hiring engineers

Define your MVP scope ruthlessly. Write down the single core action your product enables. Everything else is version 2.

Build your landing page first using Framer. Set up a custom domain, hero section, and email capture before you build the actual product. Validate demand before building.

Set up your waitlist or early access form using Tally. Embed it on your Framer landing page. Tally is free and has unlimited responses.

Connect your form to an email list using Brevo. Every new waitlist signup gets added automatically. Set up a welcome email sequence to keep early users warm.

Build your core product interface. For internal tools and dashboards, use Notion or Airtable as a no-code backend. For customer-facing apps, evaluate Glide, Softr, or Bubble depending on complexity.

Add payments to your MVP using Paystack's no-code payment page or Flutterwave's payment link - no integration code required. Test whether people will actually pay before building more.

Set up a simple customer feedback loop. Add a Tally form link in your product and onboarding emails. Read every response.

Deploy analytics using Plausible. One script tag and you can see which pages get traffic and where users drop off.
