A mobile app or MVP is the fastest way to put a working product in your users' hands and learn what they actually need — before you spend on the full build. Start with the one flow that matters, ship it, and let real usage guide the rest.

For launching a product, validating an idea and growing the business

Smerdoff helps you quickly turn an idea into a working app: with a clear first version, design, backend and a roadmap for growth.

Startup MVP

Validate a hypothesis, show it to investors and reach your first users.

Customer app

Catalog, profile, payments, notifications and repeat orders.

Delivery or booking

Flows for ordering, scheduling, statuses and repeat purchases.

Service catalog

Package your services into an app and accept requests without manual busywork.

Staff app

Tasks, reports, statuses and internal processes in one place.

Payments and subscriptions

Payments, receipts, promo codes, notifications and a user account.

What the first version includes

We lock down the scope of the first version up front, so you don’t spend budget on features that aren’t needed for launch.

App modules

We assemble the app around your scenario: from sign-up and catalog to payments, notifications and the admin panel.

Which apps we launch first

Every project has its own first version. Below are clear launch scenarios, from a customer app to an internal tool.

  • tasks and notifications
  • reports for the manager

What will be ready after launch

We capture the result in tangible deliverables: something you can test, show the team and keep developing.

At the start

  • map of user flows
  • scope of the first version and screen list
