Who this is for
Post-seed SaaS founders preparing for Series A and early-stage marketing leads whose current site was built fast on Framer or Webflow and is not converting. Typically spending on paid acquisition but watching trials go cold before the first sales call.
The pain today
- Generic template site that looks identical to ten competitors
- No pricing page — prospects bounce before they ever talk to sales
- Product tour is a stale screenshot carousel from twelve months ago
- Marketing team cannot update copy without pulling a developer in
- Trial signup flow leaks between homepage and the in-product onboarding
The outcome you get
- New marketing site live in three to four weeks from $2,999
- Pricing page with real tiers, a comparison table, and a built-in FAQ
- Product tour mapped to the top three jobs your buyer wants done
- Proof block with logos, metrics, and testimonials above the fold
- CMS ready so marketing ships copy changes without touching me
Why SaaS founders hire me for their marketing site
Most SaaS sites fail the same test: a first-time visitor cannot say what the product does in ten seconds. I have shipped SaaS website designs for fintech, broadcast SaaS, and real estate platforms — companies that were either raising or scaling fast when they hired me. I run every project myself: copy direction, design, build, launch. No account manager layered between you and the work, no subcontracted designer, no gap between the brief and the output.
That matters because SaaS buyers compare five tools at once. If your site does not answer three questions in the first scroll — who is this for, what does it do, why should I trust you — they are gone. I have been building software since 2009 and have shipped 250-plus projects. The discipline that comes from that volume is the reason my SaaS customers do not get a pretty site that quietly leaks pipeline.

What a SaaS marketing site must have in 2026
Six things, in this order. An above-fold pitch that names the buyer, the outcome, and one proof point in a single breath. A pricing page with real numbers — if the only option is 'contact us', qualified buyers will skip to a competitor who shows theirs. A product tour that maps to two or three specific jobs a buyer wants done, not a feature list dressed up as a walkthrough. Social proof placed where it reduces friction, not buried in a carousel nobody scrolls.
Beyond those four, a docs or changelog entry point helps power users self-qualify before they book a demo. And sub-second page loads: research consistently shows that a four-second load time alone is enough to tell an enterprise buyer something about product quality. Core Web Vitals are not an SEO checkbox — they are a trust signal. If any one of these six is missing, the site is working against your paid acquisition spend.

Freelance vs. agency for SaaS website design
A boutique SaaS design agency typically delivers a full marketing site for $30,000 to $80,000 in 2026. Premium brand studios start at $100,000. That pricing funds project managers, account layers, creative directors, and the overhead of running a team of fifteen. The work can be excellent. The timeline is usually ten to sixteen weeks and the brief passes through three or four hands before a line of code is written.
My engagement is different. From $2,999 for a Starter tier to $11,999 for a Corporate build, fixed price. You work directly with me — the person who reads the brief, designs the pages, and writes the code. One point of contact, daily async updates on Loom, and a shared Linear board so you always know where I am. I take one to two SaaS customers per quarter by design, which means the project actually gets my full attention. If you have already outgrown a Framer template but are not ready to spend $50,000 on an agency, the gap between those two options is exactly what I fill.
My three-week SaaS website build process
Week one: I audit your current traffic, trial funnel, and any ICP interviews you have done. The output is a messaging doc and a wireframe for every page — homepage, pricing, product tour, and proof. If copy needs a full rewrite, I do that in the same week.
Week two: design and build. I work in Figma for layout decisions, then build with the stack that fits your team — usually Next.js with a lightweight CMS like Sanity or Payload. Daily async Loom updates and a Linear board you can check any time. Week three: content migration, analytics wiring (GA4, Search Console, Plausible — your choice), and launch. You get a preview URL on day ten and the live site by day twenty-one. If a fourth week is needed for copy approvals or photography, the price does not change. I set the date on day one. In 17 years I have never missed a launch date.
Pricing and what each tier includes
Starter tier: $2,999 fixed. Up to eight pages, your copy, my layout, CMS-ready output. Business tier: $7,999. Custom copy, full product tour, integrations, blog infrastructure. Corporate tier: $11,999. Multi-language support, advanced analytics, custom integrations, and a bespoke component library your team can extend.
Every tier includes a 14-day money-back guarantee, a 1-year bug warranty, and full code ownership under Work Made for Hire. Hosting is yours — Vercel, Netlify, or wherever your team prefers. No recurring fees unless you move to an ongoing subscription. You can get a fixed quote in 60 seconds through the QuoteFunnel and I start the week you sign.
Case: Cuez — SaaS performance as a conversion signal
At Cuez by Tinkerlist in Belgium I rebuilt the broadcast-SaaS API that was blocking user growth. The headline result was a 10x faster API — three seconds down to 300 milliseconds — but the second-order effect was what the marketing site needed most: a product experience that finally felt fast enough to trust.
Broadcast customers do not tolerate lag. When pages load instantly and the product matches that feel, the marketing site stops fighting against the product's reputation. The same performance discipline shapes every SaaS marketing site I build: server-rendered pages, images that never block the first paint, and Core Web Vitals treated as a baseline, not a finishing touch. That is where a SaaS website design starts with me.
What I do not build on SaaS sites
No page builders that lock your team into a visual editor they will resent in six months. No animated hero videos that cost five figures to replace when the brand pivots. No scroll effects that break on Android mid-demo. No headless CMS added because it sounded impressive in a pitch meeting.
I pick the simplest stack that passes Core Web Vitals and lets your marketing team ship without a developer. That is usually Next.js with Sanity or Payload — or Webflow if your team already knows it and prefers it. What I am building is a site that lasts two to three years with small refreshes, not one that needs a full rebuild every funding round.

Rescued a slow API that was blocking user growth
Cuez is a live broadcast production tool used by TV teams on air across Europe. I inherited a backend API averaging 3 seconds per response and cut it to 300ms, while reducing infrastructure costs by 40% and leaving the system stable under real production load.

The questions prospects ask before they book.
My fixed-price tiers start at $2,999 for up to eight pages (Starter), $7,999 for a full site with custom copy and product tour (Business), and $11,999 for a Corporate build with multi-language and a custom component library. Boutique SaaS agencies in 2026 typically charge $30,000–$80,000 for comparable scope. Every tier includes a 14-day money-back guarantee and a 1-year bug warranty.
At minimum: a homepage that answers who the product is for and why it works, a pricing page with real tiers, a product tour or features page mapped to buyer jobs, and a proof page or section with case studies and testimonials. For companies preparing for Series A, I also build a changelog entry point and a docs gateway so enterprise evaluators can self-qualify. That structure covers the six-page scope in the Starter tier.
Three to four weeks from kickoff. The $2,999 Starter tier typically ships in three weeks. Business and Corporate tiers take four to six weeks because of deeper copy and custom integrations. I set the launch date on day one and I keep it — 17 years, 250-plus projects shipped, and I have never missed a deadline. If you need an investor-ready launch page faster, I can scope a single page first and build the rest after.
Default is Next.js with Sanity or Payload so your marketing team can edit copy without pulling me in. Webflow is an option if your team already knows it. For SaaS customers already on HubSpot CMS or Framer I work in those too. I pick based on what your team can maintain over a two-to-three-year horizon, not what is trending. Whichever stack I use, you get 100 percent code ownership under Work Made for Hire once the project is paid.
Not if I migrate properly. I preserve every existing URL, set up 301 redirects for any that change, retain your meta structure and internal links, and run a Search Console audit before and after launch to catch regressions in the first 14 days. Most SaaS sites hold rankings within a week and often improve because the new build loads faster. If rankings drop beyond normal fluctuation, I fix it at no extra cost under the 1-year bug warranty.
Yes — the pricing page is where most SaaS sites lose qualified buyers, so I treat it as its own design problem. That means real tier names, a feature comparison table, a prominent FAQ section directly on the page, and a clear path to either a free trial or a sales call depending on your motion. For enterprise tiers I wire in a 'Talk to sales' path rather than a generic contact form. The Business tier and above include a custom pricing page by default.
