New Website Builds Minimum Viable Products for Startups

Nice concept overall .. but i agree with fierarul... those links to Eric Ries, etc. almost felt as if they had some sort of an association with this project or had their blessings.

the website footnotes are wayyy too prominent .. and borderline boastful ..

and the "Yes, Build my MVP" link looks out of place as compared to the rest of the site. you might want to change the font style.

maybe you should spend some more time on it vs. using the "created in less than x hours" line.

This is a great idea, and I'm likely to use it in the near future.

One potential barrier to entry for users of this site:

What's stopping ibuildmvps.com from building an MVP for someone, and then (if the idea works well) taking that idea and developing it to the next level without them?

I'm not trying to say or imply that this is the intention of ibuildmvps.com. But (in America at least), you can't copyright an idea. Therefore, any of your clients would be opening themselves up to that risk.

Perhaps you should have a page on the site saying you'd be willing to sign a non-compete contract, in order to ease that concern (which may lower the barrier to entry for your service). Even better, maybe that non-compete agreement could be part of your TOS?

Again, I really do like this idea. I just wanted to add my two cents, in an effort to help your site become even better. Best of luck with this venture!

Like everyone else has said, the idea is cool. Other than that, and this might be harsh, but I don't think you could execute 99% of people's ideas and make a MVP. That's just how I feel after exploring this site for 3 minutes. The blog post about this website is a joke:

"I built my MVP (ibuildmvps.com) in less than two hours. Most of the time was spent waiting for godaddy to process my domain name and email address, and set up the hosting. Besides that, I found a free template online, built a button from a free form generator, created a Google Form, and tweaked the hell out of it. I also added links to many lean startup/customer develop icons who I admire."

This is cute, but it only makes me have less faith in you because none of it is impressive, so how would you implement my idea if it requires a little bit more than using google forms and pre-made templates? The description of the blog on the right hand side rubbed me the wrong way as well. My father has been programming since 1999, or so he would tell people, so the fact that you've been coding since 2002 does nothing for me. You don't have a portfolio anywhere to prove you know what you're actually doing. And if you're going to put your college and state that you received a Bachelors of Science degree at least put what the hell you got it in...

That's exactly what I saw, too. Besides, trying to build any kind of product in 2-3 hours is impossible. MVP is still a product - not a mock-up.

A mockup can be a MVP. A MVP is just there to attract potential customers and make them 'sign up' (e.g. an 'I'm interested' email)
