How founders get coherent MVP UI flows in 48 hours

A short playbook for demos, pitch decks, and early user tests — without a full design team.

1. Map the one journey that matters

Most early products only need one happy path: land → understand value → take the core action → see the result. Write that path as 6–12 beats before you draw anything.

2. Design screens as a system, not as one-offs

Reuse spacing, type, and component patterns across every screen. Coherence beats novelty when investors or users are judging whether this feels like a real product.

3. Ship empty, error, and success states

Demo-ready flows fail when every screen looks “full of data.” Include empty and error states so the product feels honest under pressure.

4. Put it behind a shareable preview

A clickable preview link travels better than a PDF. Pair it with PNG/PDF exports for decks and developer handoff.
