Ship a SaaS From Zero to Customers in One Month

preview of three apps by Rails Designer

Yes, that’s right… Launching a successful SaaS doesn’t take months! With the right, narrow scope, carefully cherry-picking the features that make your SaaS valuable to customers and skipping all the bloat.

A SaaS can be launched quickly

Many agencies will tell you it will take many months to build and launch your SaaS. That is because they follow your requirements to the dot. They don’t question anything on your list. That’s where I come in. I’ve launched multiple, successful SaaS’ in the last decade and I’ve started them all in one month. How? Choosing the right stack and carefully picking which features are crucial to get customers.

That’s because I know to get customers in the door (and start a subscription), you don’t need all the features in the world. What you need are features that get the job done for your customers. With my experience I help you get rid of all the features you thought you needed, but really don’t need. This will help get a solid MVP out the door your customers will love to pay for. All in one month.

Wait, what is a MVP?

It means Minimum Viable Product. It’s debated, hated ánd loved in the web-entrepreneur community. But to me it means a SaaS product that customers are willing to pay for without all the features under the sun. Typically 1-3 core features. It does what it says on the thin. Nothing half-assed or buggy though!

What happens after one month?

That’s up to you. There are multiple retainer-options:

  • Maintenance Mode: make sure your app stays online;
  • Continuation mode: implement new features (based on customer feedback).

All based on your preference.

Pricing—Simple and Straightforward

Getting your own SaaS ready for paying customers in one month is just $10,000.

Extra development afterwards is billed weekly. Reach out for availability.

FAQ

Who are you?

I’m Eelco 👋 A designer, turned developer, turned founder of multiple successful SaaS businesses. Currently working on something new (while running 1.5 SaaS). I also built Rails Designer (this site!).

What's your tech stack?

I’m using the latest Ruby on Rails (PostgreSQL, Hotwire, ViewComponent and Tailwind CSS). It’s the framework used by the top companies in the world. Apart from making it possible to ship a SaaS in a month—with one person—it’s mature enough to push you way beyond the PMF-phase.

Will I own the app?

Yes, every line of code, the servers and so on, will all be yours.

What if we need changes or more features?

Once your SaaS is live, we evaluate and see what next steps to take. I offer various retainers to either keep your app available/fix bugs or continue building and improving based on your customer’s feedback.

Can I hire you just for UI/product-engineering work?
