On: $5K Web-App MVP

[niico]

Does that includes UI design?

If I had to hire someone to build my MVP I would rather focus on design than creating a killer app on the first version.

This is why. Since the service is not popular, doesnt have many users or features, I would try to convert users by offering them a great user experience.

Thats why I would invest 3k on a great UI/UX design and the rest on building the app.

Unfortunately not.

There are good templates that you can use to give you decent design.

Realistically, it will be very hard to get a "great-looking-and-functioning" MVP on a $5K budget.
