Buyer’s Checklist
These are the questions and checks that separate saas & technology specialists from general web agencies who will list your sector on their homepage after you sign.
Pricing page expertise: ask to see 2 live SaaS pricing pages the agency has designed; strong ones have toggle billing cycles, feature comparison tables, and clear enterprise contact paths
Trial/signup flow integration: Auth0, Clerk, or custom auth; signup should place users inside the product in under 60 seconds from the pricing page
Documentation hub: Mintlify, Docusaurus, ReadMe, or custom. Most SaaS sites eventually need docs, and the agency should know where they fit in the information architecture
Integration showcase pages: the agency should understand how to present technical integrations visually to non-technical buyers without a wall of JSON
Analytics and heatmap setup at launch: PostHog, Clarity, or Hotjar. SaaS sites without session recording from day one cannot improve conversion rate based on real data
Platforms & Tech Stack
Next.js + Vercel
The dominant stack for SaaS marketing sites in San Jose-fast build, built-in image optimisation, straightforward A/B testing setup, and edge caching for global sub-200ms load times. Pairs with Contentful or Sanity for content-team control.
Webflow (for marketing-team ownership)
Faster to iterate for non-technical marketing teams. Suitable for early-stage SaaS where deploy velocity matters more than developer control. Limitations appear when complex React components or auth-gated pages are needed.
Gatsby (static / content-heavy)
Still used for documentation sites and blog-heavy SaaS marketing sites where sub-100ms TTFB is the primary requirement. Less common now that Next.js app router achieves comparable static build performance.
Framer (design-code hybrid)
Growing adoption for SaaS landing pages in San Jose where high-motion design and rapid iteration are priorities. Framer's CMS is limited for large content libraries but strong for product-focused marketing pages.

Questions & Answers
Pre-brief questions that saas & technology businesses in San Jose ask before commissioning a web project.
At minimum: Google Analytics 4 (for baseline organic and paid traffic data), a session recording tool (PostHog, Microsoft Clarity, or Hotjar-free tiers are sufficient at launch), and Segment or a similar event pipeline if you have more than 3 downstream analytics destinations. Most San Jose SaaS sites also install Intercom or Customer.io for triggered in-session messaging from day one.
A properly scoped web development contract for a San Jose business should include: a fixed-price quote (not hourly with uncapped scope), a detailed scope of work document, a timeline with specific milestones and delivery dates, ownership of all source code and assets on completion, a warranty period of at least 30 days post-launch for bug fixing, and clear terms for revision rounds. Avoid any contract that includes a retainer obligation as a condition of handover, this is a red flag in the San Jose web development market.
A standard business website for a San Jose company takes 2–4 weeks from brief to launch (assuming content is provided on time). A custom web application with integrations typically takes 6–12 weeks. E-commerce sites with product catalogue setup take 3–8 weeks. The most common cause of delays in San Jose web projects is late content delivery from the client, agree a content deadline before the project starts and the timeline holds reliably.
For most San Jose businesses, a remote web development agency delivers equivalent or better results than a local studio, at 20–40% lower cost. The key factors are: quality of portfolio (verifiable through live URLs, not PDF screenshots), communication responsiveness (same-day replies are the baseline for professional agencies), and clear ownership transfer on handover. Physical location has not been a meaningful differentiator for web development quality since 2018. Tecklogist serves clients across Costa Rica and 40+ countries entirely remotely.
The three most reliable verification methods for San Jose businesses evaluating web developers are: 1) Live portfolio links, the agency should provide direct URLs to live sites they built (not PDF mockups), which you can test for speed, mobile quality, and design; 2) Client references, ask for contact details for two recent clients in a similar sector; 3) Technical audit, ask the developer to explain how they would handle a specific technical challenge for your project. A developer who cannot answer this clearly has not built what they claim. Tecklogist provides live portfolio URLs, verified client references, and a free technical scoping call for every San Jose project enquiry.
