Minimum Viable UX: Validate Your Product's User Experience Before Full Development
Test Your UX Assumptions, Gather Feedback, and Optimize Your Product Before Launch.
Minimum Viable UX: Your First Step Towards a User-Centric Product
Did you know that 70% of online startups fail within the first 20 months of their launch? One of the key factors contributing to this high failure rate is a lack of user-centricity in product development. Startups often invest significant resources in building features that users don’t actually want or need, leading to wasted time, money, and missed opportunities.
This is where Minimum Viable UX (MVUX) comes in. It’s a lean approach that helps startups prioritize user needs and validate their product concept before investing in full-scale development. By focusing on essential features and user flows, MVUX allows you to test your assumptions, gather feedback, and refine your design early on, reducing the risk of building a product that doesn’t resonate with your target audience.

Think of it as a “test drive” for your product’s user experience (UX). An MVUX is a simplified version of your product’s interface, focusing on the core features and user flows. It’s designed to be tested with real users to gather feedback and validate your design decisions before investing in full-scale development.
A full UX design involves creating a comprehensive and polished user experience for the final product. MVUX, on the other hand, is a leaner and more focused approach that prioritizes the essential elements of the UX. It’s about getting a functional version of your product in front of users as quickly as possible to gather feedback and iterate on the design.
MVUX offers several benefits for startups, including:
- Saving time and money: You can identify and address usability issues early on,avoiding costly redesigns and development changes later in the process.
- Validating your product idea: Get feedback from real users to ensure your product meets their needs and expectations.
- Prioritizing features: Focus on the most important aspects of your product’s UX, ensuring a streamlined and efficient user experience.
- Reducing risk: By testing your assumptions early on, you can minimize the risk of building a product that doesn’t resonate with your target audience.
- Attracting investors: A well-designed MVUX can help you secure funding by demonstrating your product’s potential to potential investors.
We’ll work with you to recruit representative users from your target audience. We’ll then conduct usability testing sessions, either remotely or in person, where we observe how users interact with your MVUX prototype. We’ll gather feedback through questionnaires, interviews, and by analyzing their behavior to identify pain points and areas for improvement.
At the end of the MVUX engagement, you’ll receive:
- A refined, interactive MVUX prototype that incorporates user feedback and is ready for
further testing or development. - A detailed report outlining our findings from user testing, including specific
usability issues, recommendations for improvement, and prioritized next steps. - A consultation session to discuss the report and answer any questions you may have.
