Build: SaaS MVP, From Idea to Production

A live product that real users can sign up for and pay for, without building an in-house team first.

I build your product from idea to live deployment: authentication, payments, an API and an admin panel, deployed on servers you own. The price and the timeline say "from" because they depend on the scope, and you get a quote for your scope before any work starts.

What's included

Included

  • User authentication (email + social login, password reset, sessions)
  • Stripe payments (Checkout + customer portal, subscriptions, webhooks)
  • REST API with auth-protected endpoints + OpenAPI docs
  • Admin dashboard (user management, content moderation, basic analytics)
  • Docker deployment on your server (staging + production)
  • CI/CD pipeline + automated backups
  • Free bug fixes for 30 days + handoff walkthrough

Not included

  • Native mobile apps (iOS/Android) — web-responsive only
  • Third-party integrations beyond Stripe (CRM, email tools and so on are quoted separately)
  • Features added after launch — quoted once we scope them
  • Design and branding beyond system defaults — UI tokens and components are included, custom illustrations are not
  • Ongoing maintenance — that is the Ongoing item in this catalog

Need something not listed? Most of it can be added — tell me what you need and I will quote it before I start.

How it starts

  3. 3

    A small first milestone

    The build opens with a short discovery sprint: a system architecture diagram, a tech stack recommendation with the reasons, an infrastructure cost estimate, the main risks, and a phased build roadmap with timeline estimates. It is part of the small first milestone, so you keep all of it and either of us can stop after that milestone.

Also built under this item

Backend API

A production REST or GraphQL API with PostgreSQL schema design, authentication and authorization, monitoring, automated backups and a CI/CD pipeline.

AI integration

LLM pipelines and retrieval-augmented generation wired into your existing backend, with secure API key management, rate limiting, caching, monitoring and logging.

MCP servers

Custom MCP servers that let your AI assistant read, write and act inside your own tools — CRM, database, email, calendar, internal APIs — shipped as a self-hosted Docker image you own.

Who this is for

Founders with a validated idea who need a production-ready product without hiring a team first, and teams that need a backend, an AI feature or an MCP server built properly.

Projects this fits

  • A fitness social network with user profiles, workout tracking, and social feed
  • A marketplace platform connecting freelancers with clients, including payments and escrow
  • A booking and scheduling SaaS with calendar sync, invoicing, and admin dashboard

  • A small first milestone

    We start with one or two weeks of work. If either of us wants to stop at the end of it, we stop — you keep everything built so far.
