Website Development can be a useful supporting channel; whether it's worth leading with depends on your specific stage and existing channel mix.
Generic website development channel mix shifts when applied to vertical & industry-specific saas. The table below shows the relevant surfaces with industry-specific weighting.
| Channel / surface | Weight | Industry-specific rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Next.js (App Router + RSC) | Primary | Default for content-heavy marketing sites, programmatic SEO at scale, and headless commerce. Deploys to Vercel or Cloudflare Workers. For vertical & industry-specific saas, weight is moderated given the category's CAC band of 10,000–2,00,000 ₹. |
| Webflow | Supporting | Best when in-house marketing team will own the CMS and dev capacity is constrained. Trade-off: less control over performance + custom logic. For vertical & industry-specific saas, weight is moderated given the category's CAC band of 10,000–2,00,000 ₹. |
| Shopify (Plus or standard) | Primary | D2C commerce default. Shopify-native vs Shopify Hydrogen (headless) chosen against catalog complexity + custom-UX needs. For vertical & industry-specific saas, weight is moderated given the category's CAC band of 10,000–2,00,000 ₹. |
| Headless (Next.js + Sanity / Shopify) | Compounding | For brands where marketing site + commerce + content need shared design system and editorial workflows. Higher upfront build, lower long-term content velocity. For vertical & industry-specific saas, weight is moderated given the category's CAC band of 10,000–2,00,000 ₹. |
