Startup SaaS Web Platform
Full-stack SaaS platform with subscription billing, onboarding flows, and a conversion-optimised marketing site.
Sample Implementation: This is a sample implementation demonstrating how we would build this type of platform. All simulated results are based on publicly available industry data.
Project Overview
About This Project
This implementation covers the full SaaS lifecycle: from a conversion-optimised marketing site through to a multi-step onboarding flow, subscription management, and a product dashboard. It shows how we approach SaaS product development as both a technical and a growth challenge — building the system and the growth story together.
Goal
Build a production-ready SaaS platform with a compelling marketing site, frictionless user onboarding, Stripe subscription billing, and an analytics dashboard — demonstrating the complete technical and conversion stack required to launch a B2B SaaS product.

The Problem
What Typically Goes Wrong in This Situation
Slow Time to Market
Most SaaS startups spend 6–12 months building infrastructure before the first paying customer. Poor technical decisions early — like non-scalable architecture or tightly-coupled billing — compound into serious technical debt.
Poor Onboarding Conversion
The average SaaS free trial converts at just 15–20%. Long setup processes, unclear value propositions, and missing in-app guidance cause users to churn before experiencing the core product value.
No Marketing-to-Activation Funnel
Many early-stage SaaS products treat their marketing site and their product as separate concerns. The result is a disconnect between the promise on the landing page and the experience inside the product.
Revenue Leaks in Billing
Failed payments, unclear upgrade paths, and missing dunning flows cost SaaS businesses 5–15% of monthly revenue — entirely preventable with a properly implemented billing stack.
The Solution
Our Strategy & Approach
Next.js Marketing Site with Conversion Architecture
Built a landing page with a problem-agitate-solve structure, transparent pricing, social proof sections, and a 3-step sign-up flow — all designed to minimise drop-off from first visit to trial activation.
Multi-Step Onboarding Flow
Designed a progressive onboarding sequence that collects user context, personalises the first dashboard experience, and triggers the 'aha moment' within the first session — following Jobs-to-be-Done principles.
Stripe Billing with Subscription Management
Implemented Stripe Billing with plan tiers, annual/monthly toggle pricing, upgrade/downgrade flows, webhook-driven subscription state management, and automated payment recovery for failed charges.
Analytics Dashboard with Segment + Mixpanel
Integrated full product analytics tracking key activation events, feature adoption, and churn signals — giving founders the data to make informed product decisions from day one.

FAQ
Common Questions
Do you build full-stack SaaS products or just the frontend?
We handle the full stack — marketing site, product UI, backend API, database design, third-party integrations, and deployment infrastructure. We work as an end-to-end product development partner, not just a build shop.
Can you integrate Stripe for subscription billing?
Yes. We have deep experience implementing Stripe Billing including metered billing, multi-currency support, trial periods, coupon codes, and automated dunning flows.
How long does it take to launch an MVP SaaS platform?
A well-scoped SaaS MVP — marketing site + core features + billing — typically takes 8–14 weeks. We use a discovery sprint to define scope precisely before committing to timelines.
