Startup Product Development

Product development
built for startup speed.

Startups do not have 18 months and six figures for product development. They have weeks and limited capital. Wall & Fifth builds startup products in 8 weeks at a fixed price — so you can validate fast and spend smart.

What we cover

End-to-end product
development in 8 weeks.

Product scoping

Define the hypothesis, the user, and the critical path. Set the feature boundary. Make every decision before development begins — so the build is focused and efficient.

Product design

User flows, interface design, onboarding architecture, commercial flow design. Not pixel art — functional design that gets users to value in the fewest possible steps.

Full-stack development

Frontend, backend, database, API, authentication, payments. Built in Next.js, React, TypeScript, and PostgreSQL. Production-grade code designed to scale.

Testing and QA

Cross-device testing, edge case handling, performance optimisation. The product that launches is production-ready — not a beta that needs another month of fixes.

Deployment and launch

Production infrastructure, SSL, CI/CD, monitoring. For mobile apps, App Store and Google Play submission. Live and ready for real users by week 8.

Common questions

Before you get in touch.

What is product development for startups?

Taking a product idea from concept to launched software. Scoping, design, development, deployment — structured for startup speed and budget.

How is it different from enterprise product development?

Speed, scope, and cost. Startups validate quickly with minimum investment. Enterprise assumes the idea is validated and focuses on scale.

How much does it cost?

From £16,000 at Wall & Fifth. Fixed-price. Enterprise typically costs £100k–£500k+.

What is included?

Scoping, design, full-stack development, database, auth, payments, deployment, and launch. Everything from idea to live product.

Do I need a CTO?

Not for the MVP. A studio handles all technical decisions. You may want a CTO after validation when scaling.

How long does it take?

8 weeks. Scoping in weeks 1–2, development in weeks 3–6, launch in weeks 7–8.
