Key Takeaways

- •MVP That Customers Actually Use
- •4–8 Week Plan
- •Positioning Worksheet
- •Offer Design That Converts
Most SaaS fails not because it can’t be built—but because it can’t be sold. You need a positioning‑driven website, a sharp offer, and an MVP that proves value in minutes, not months.
What’s Inside:
- Positioning, promise, and proof framework
- Homepage and pricing page that convert
- Activation‑first onboarding (time‑to‑value under 5 minutes)
- MVP scope: smallest surface that delivers the outcome
- Metrics: activation, retention, expansion
High‑Converting SaaS Website
Pages That Matter:
MVP That Customers Actually Use
- Single core job‑to‑be‑done shipped end‑to‑end
- Guided setup and sample data
- Audit logs, roles, and basic billing
- Instrumented events for activation/retention
4–8 Week Plan
- Week 1: ICP, jobs‑to‑be‑done, offer, messaging
- Week 2: Website + onboarding flows
- Weeks 3–6: Core feature build, analytics, payments
- Week 7: QA, security pass, demo content
- Week 8: Launch, measure, iterate
Positioning Worksheet
Define Clearly:
Offer Design That Converts
- Pricing aligned to value metric (seats, volume, outcomes)
- Risk reversal (trial, guarantee, pilot)
- Calendar booking and live demo assets
- Social proof (logos, quotes, case metrics)
Activation Playbook
- Guided setup with sample data
- Checklist to first success (under 5 minutes)
- In‑app tips + email nudges for gaps
- Celebrate success moments; suggest next step
Pricing Patterns (B2B SaaS)
Common Patterns:
- Good: Free + 1 paid tier (simple)
- Better: Starter/Growth/Pro (expansion path)
- Best: Usage base + caps + annual discounts
Common Pitfalls
- Too many features; weak core job
- No analytics; can’t see activation drop‑offs
- Vague pricing; hidden enterprise only
- No proof (no demos, no metrics, no logos)

FAQ
What if we don’t know the exact features yet?
We time‑box scope to one core job‑to‑be‑done and instrument it. Data from activation and retention informs the next two sprints—minimizing waste.
How do you handle security?
Least‑privilege roles, hashed passwords, 2FA, audit logs, OWASP checks, and dependency scanning. We also set up error monitoring and backups from day one.
Do you help with fundraising or sales?
Yes—demo scripts, pitch‑ready screenshots, landing page copy, and analytics that show traction (activation, engagement, retention).
A B2B tool launched with a focused JTBD and activation‑first onboarding. Result: 7.3% site‑to‑trial, 41% trial‑to‑activated, and first revenue in week 4.
