Website for SaaS and Software Startups: Pages That Drive Sign-ups
What a SaaS or software startup marketing website needs: clear positioning, product and feature pages, pricing, sign-up flow, social proof, docs, security information, blog and a fast WordPress setup.
On this page
- Lead with a specific outcome, product visuals and one primary call to action.
- Include features, use cases, pricing, customers, integrations, security and docs.
- Use WordPress for the marketing site, keep the app separate and track the funnel.
For a software startup, the marketing website is often the first product experience people have. It must explain what the product does, who it's for and why it's better, then make signing up or booking a demo effortless.
Positioning on the homepage
- A headline that states the outcome for a specific audience
- A product screenshot or short demo video
- One primary call to action: "Start free trial" or "Book a demo"
- Proof: customer logos, ratings or key numbers you can back up
Essential pages
- Product / features: grouped by the problems they solve, with screenshots
- Use cases or solutions: pages for each audience or industry
- Pricing: clear plans, what's included and FAQs
- Customers: case studies and testimonials
- Integrations
- Security and privacy: data handling, compliance and uptime
- Docs or help centre
- Blog and resources
- About and careers
The pricing page
- Three or four plans with a recommended option highlighted
- Monthly and annual toggle
- A feature comparison table
- FAQs on billing, cancellation and trials
- A clear path for enterprise enquiries
Sign-up and demo flow
Keep the marketing site and the app separate (for example, the app at app.yourdomain.com). Make sign-up forms short, and connect demo requests to your calendar and CRM.
Why WordPress for the marketing site?
- Marketing teams can publish pages and posts without developers
- Strong SEO foundations and a huge ecosystem
- Fast landing page creation for campaigns
Keep engineering focused on the product, not the marketing site.
Content that brings sign-ups
- Articles on the problems your product solves
- Comparison pages against alternatives, written fairly
- Templates, calculators and free tools
