How do you build a SaaS website?

Hey!

Depending on what CSS frameworks your familiar with - I usually like buying a template and then re-using it over and over.

I like Bootstrap just because it's easy to use. Templates here (https://themes.getbootstrap.com/product-category/landing-corporate/) are good because they kind of hide the fact your using Bootstrap. But it has all you need in terms of components like buttons, cards, navs, tables, alerts - all that kind of stuff.

If you really want a custom design, hire a designer, but I would save your money and go the template route for sure!

If you're talking about the marketing site, then you can

• Build it yourself
• Use a template
• Use a website builder
• Hire a designer/developer to build it

As you mentioned it is a SaaS product, have a look at https://versoly.com/ we built it specifically for SaaS companies to build marketing sites.

It is built to convert not for design awards, this means we don't have fancy templates that are slow, have bad SEO and aren't optimised for conversions.

If you want to build a dashboard for your SaaS then have a look at @smirolo answer.

We buy on HTML templates on https://themeforest.net for the product and wordpress themes for the blog and home page.

Getting to the point where I'm hiring my first UI/UX person. Starting to get out of my depth and time for the UI/UX

You can find quite a few site builders and templates that have been featured on Product Hunt. Depending on how extensive of a site you need then Carrd.co is a great builder.

I also run wpbellhop.com where we design, build, host and maintain a custom WordPress site for you at a straightforward price. We'd be happy to help, but quite a few WP drag and drop builders like Divi or Elementor could be what you're looking for (and they come with templates).

Hi @sunasra, I found http://collectui.com/ and https://showcase.mysigmail.com/ great places to start. https://flatlogic.com/admin-dashboards is pretty good too.
If you are building in Rails, https://bullettrain.co/ has good default templates.
Here at DjaoDjin, we are also striving to get decent SaaS templates out-of-the-box (https://github.com/djaodjin/djaoapp).

We created several app boilerplates (free and paid) that cover many features of SaaS:

• SaaS Product Website (landing, pricing, blog, faq + dashboard to manage blog and faq)
• SaaS Web app dashboard (UI, database models, user login/register/email confirmation, integration with Stripe/Mailchimp).
  What are these templates? They are out-of-box web applications (not just a web templates that you need to integrate with code) that you can run after primary settings done. Everything is changeable and extendable.
