A brochure website tells an offer. A SaaS must operate an activity. This difference completely changes the budget, the planning and how to frame the project.

A SaaS manages behaviors, not just content

Once an application has user accounts, roles, private data, workflows, notifications or billing, it becomes a software product. It is necessary to foresee normal paths, but also errors, rights, safeguards, security and daily administration.

Cost comes from business logic

Two screens may appear visually simple while carrying a complex logic: calculations, validations, integrations with an existing tool, history, export, rules by profile or automations. It is this logic, more than the number of pages, that structures the development effort.

The right reflex: start with an MVP

An effective MVP does not seek to reproduce the entire future product. It focuses on a specific problem, a priority user and a key path. We learn faster, reduce the risk and build a base that can evolve without starting from scratch.

PRODUCT & BUDGET

A product is priced according to its responsibilities.

User journeys, data, roles, integrations and service levels define the real scope. Establish the right foundations before comparing budgets.

  • Prioritised functional scope
  • A realistic initial budget
  • A roadmap split into deliverable stages
