Buyer’s Checklist

How to evaluate saas & technology web developers in Shanghai

5 things to check before hiring

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

Which platform for saas & technology in Shanghai?

Next.js + Vercel

The dominant stack for SaaS marketing sites in Shanghai-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 Shanghai 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

SaaS & Technology web development in Shanghai - common questions

Pre-brief questions that saas & technology businesses in Shanghai ask before commissioning a web project.

What analytics should a SaaS website be set up with at launch?+

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 Shanghai SaaS sites also install Intercom or Customer.io for triggered in-session messaging from day one.

What should a Shanghai business look for in a contract before hiring a web developer?+

A properly scoped web development contract for a Shanghai 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 Shanghai web development market.

How long does a Shanghai web project typically take from brief to launch?+

A standard business website for a Shanghai 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 Shanghai web projects is late content delivery from the client, agree a content deadline before the project starts and the timeline holds reliably.

Should a Shanghai business hire a local web developer or work with a remote agency?+

For most Shanghai 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 China and 40+ countries entirely remotely.

How can a Shanghai business verify a web developer's experience before signing?+

The three most reliable verification methods for Shanghai 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 Shanghai project enquiry.
