DEVELOPMENT · MVP

A web service or MVP on Laravel and Nuxt.

Customer portals, dashboards, SaaS products. Backend, frontend and testing from one team, with a first working release in 6–8 weeks.

Nuxt and Laravel development at Tochno is a full-stack format for web services, customer portals and MVPs: back end, front end and testing in one team. It suits startups and businesses moving a process from Excel into a service. The first working release takes roughly 6–8 weeks, the rate is from $30 per hour, and an MVP starts from $5,000.

What MVP development includes

We start with a feature map and cut everything you can launch without. The rest goes into the second-phase backlog, so the first release ships quickly and without extras.

a feature map, MVP priorities and a clickable prototype of the key screens;
an API, roles and access rights, subscription payments and invoices;
email and Telegram notifications;
a Nuxt front end with SSR: Vue development with fast rendering and SEO where it is needed;
a component library, responsive layout and a dark theme if required;
testing in every sprint, analytics and error monitoring;
documentation and code handover.

The repository is on your account from day one, so the code belongs to you.

How much does MVP development cost and what affects the price

The cost depends on the complexity of the product, so we recommend starting with the Discovery stage. It costs UAH 15,000 and consists of a 2 × 90-minute workshop, a prototype and a per-feature estimate. An MVP with back end, front end and QA costs from $5,000. Development after release is billed hourly from $30.

Factor	How it affects the price
Number of features	Each feature means development, design and testing
Roles and access rights	More roles mean more scenarios and checks
Integrations and payments	Subscriptions, invoices, a CRM and third-party APIs add work
Design	A custom UI with a component library costs more than a standard one
SSR and SEO	Public pages need extra attention to speed and indexing
Deadlines	Shortening the timeline requires the team to work in parallel

See the pricing page for general guidance; we state the exact amount after Discovery.

How development works

The process is built around 2-week sprints with a demo.

Discovery (weeks 1–2): workshop, prototype, estimate.
Design (week 3): UI of the key screens and components.
Sprints (weeks 4–9): development with a demo every 2 weeks, staging from week one.
Release (week 10): launch, monitoring and a second-phase plan.

You get a short report every Friday. Payment is split into 30 / 40 / 30 stages, and a 30-day warranty applies after launch. See the process page for details.

When a full-stack MVP is not what you need

In some situations a different format is the better choice.

If you only need a marketing website with a blog and lead forms, website development on Nuxt is enough.
If the idea is still raw, first order prototypes through UI/UX design, then decide about development.
If you already have a front end and only lack an API, take Laravel development.
We do not build native mobile apps: we offer a PWA or an API for your mobile team.

We explained whether Nuxt is right for you in the article Nuxt for a marketing website.

What happens after release

Releasing an MVP is a beginning, not an ending. Right after launch we set up error monitoring and analytics, so you see what users actually do, not only what you assumed.

Then you decide what to develop: we work from the second-phase backlog, which we prepare during Discovery. Development goes hourly from $30 or in sprints, with regression testing before every release. If you want to hand the product to your own team, we prepare documentation, hand over the code and, if needed, review their first changes.

We try to validate product decisions cheaply. Before writing a complex feature, we suggest a clickable prototype or a simplified version that you can show to a few users. If the feature is not confirmed, you save a development sprint. If it is, it moves into the backlog with an estimate and a priority, and you decide when to pay for it.

What makes Tochno different

Testing is built into every sprint, not left for the end.
The tech lead takes part in the project personally, including architecture decisions.
Prices are open, and a per-feature estimate lets you manage the budget yourself.
The Laravel + Nuxt stack is mature with a large community, so finding a developer to continue the work is easy.

FAQ

Questions about the service

Why Laravel + Nuxt and not something trendy?

Mature tools with a large community: easy to hire developers, plenty of ready-made solutions, fast development.

Can we start without Discovery?

You can, if you already have a spec and a prototype. Otherwise the estimate will have a wide range.

Who owns the code?

You do, from day one. The repository is on your account.

Will you build a mobile app?

Native, no. A PWA or an API for your mobile team, yes.

How much does MVP development on Nuxt and Laravel cost?

An MVP with back end, front end and QA starts from $5,000, and further development from $30 per hour. We state the exact amount after Discovery for UAH 15,000, with a prototype and a per-feature estimate. The price can change if you add features outside the estimate.

How long does MVP development take?

The first working release takes roughly 6–8 weeks: Discovery, design and 2-week sprints with demos. The timeline depends on the number of features and how fast approvals come. Anything not needed for launch goes into the second-phase backlog. The release comes out roughly in week 10 from the start of Discovery.

Do I need SSR for a web service and a customer portal?

For a closed portal, SSR is usually not required. For public pages that must be indexed, it matters. Nuxt lets you combine both approaches in one project, so we decide during Discovery, and you do not have to choose in advance.

What do I need to provide to start MVP development?

A description of your idea or the process you want to automate, examples of similar services and a person who makes decisions at demos. If you have no spec, Discovery replaces it: a 2 × 90-minute workshop and a clickable prototype. We take care of everything else.
