# App and platform development for founders.

For founders hiring a team to develop a mobile app or web platform. We design the user flows, develop the core features and launch a first release for your customers. You receive the source code and can plan later releases around actual use.

Plan your first release

## Practical guides to building an MVP.

Work through your budget, timeline, features and platform choice. Then discuss the development requirements for your app or platform.

§ We hear this daily

## Sound familiar?

- 01 "I have an idea but no technical co-founder"
- 02 "Quotes from agencies are 6 months and unclear"
- 03 "I need to validate with real users, not slide decks"
- 04 "I want Arabic and English from day one"
- 05 "I need someone who builds the product, not a long plan"

§ What we do

## Concretely

- Agree the product and what we launch
- Ship a real product — not a Figma prototype
- Accounts, admin and payment integrations where included in the agreed MVP scope
- Screens designed for how people actually use the app — not a translation layer
- Hand off clean code on your own GitHub and Vercel
- Post-launch support with its coverage and duration agreed in the scope

§ Our process

## Define → Code → Design → Launch

1. 01 Define — who uses it, what it does, what we launch
2. 02 Code — engineering sprint with direct updates
3. 03 Design — polish, copy, conversion review
4. 04 Launch — deploy, hand over code and agree support

§ Is this right for me?

## Real questions

### Is this right if I have no technical background?

Yes. We write the scope in plain business language and handle the technical decisions. You own the GitHub repo, the Vercel project, and the Supabase database from day one.

### What if I'm pre-revenue?

Revenue is not a prerequisite. You need a defined customer, a core workflow to test and the budget to commission development.

§ FAQ

## Common questions

### How long does a founder MVP take with Fluids Digital?

The timeline depends on the agreed features, platforms, integrations and review needs. We confirm the stages and dependencies in writing before development starts.

### Do I own the code?

Yes. 100% — code on your GitHub, infrastructure on your accounts. No lock-in.

### Can you replace a CTO?

For the launch phase, yes. We handle architecture, deployment, and handover. After launch, we can stay as a fractional engineering team or hand off to your in-house hire.

### What if my idea changes mid-build?

Small changes are normal. If you add something bigger, we add it as a next phase — before we start it.

### How do you handle Saudi-specific needs (Mada, Nafath, ZATCA)?

Native. We integrate Mada, STC Pay, Tabby, Tamara, Nafath login, and ZATCA e-invoicing as standard options.

### Will it be in Arabic?

Yes. The screens work in Arabic, with a proper layout.
