Launch an MVP on Bubble

Ship a working MVP quickly—without code—using Bubble’s visual editor and workflows.

Step 1 — Define Scope

• Write a one-page spec: key user, core jobs-to-be-done, success metric.
• Prioritize 1–2 core flows (signup, create, share).
• Decide what to defer (nice-to-haves) to post-MVP.

Step 2 — Model Your Data

• Create data types with fields (e.g., User, Project, Task).
• Add privacy rules by role (users can only see their own data).
• Plan lists and references to support queries efficiently.

Step 3 — Build the UI

• Use reusable elements (header, modals) and responsive containers.
• Create pages for your core flows; add inputs, buttons, and repeating groups.
• Style with design tokens for consistency.

Step 4 — Add Workflows

• Button actions: create/edit things, navigate, show/hide groups.
• Conditionals for validation and role-based visibility.
• Schedule backend workflows for background jobs.

Step 5 — Authentication

• Use built-in auth: sign up/in, password reset, email confirm.
• Protect pages with privacy rules and redirects.
• Optionally add OAuth SSO providers.

Step 6 — Payments & Plans

• Install Stripe plugin; create products and prices.
• Handle subscription created/updated webhooks.
• Restrict premium features based on plan.

Step 7 — Deploy

• Set domain, SEO meta, favicons.
• Run test suite; invite pilot users.
• Iterate based on metrics and feedback.

FAQ
