Learn 8 SaaS website elements that take less time than a coffee break
From design elements and development to the copy that converts, here is everything you need for a SaaS page that works.
1. H1 and subheadings
Highlight your SaaS's capabilities in headings and subheadings.
There are many ways. But we favor these three.
1. Turn pain point into solution
For example:
- Turn [.red]headache[.red] into [.green]“Ahh, nothing hurts anymore.”[.green]
Quirky and relatable. Taps into the emotional joy of relief.
- Turn [.red]notes[.red] into [.green]content that converts[.green].
Short, punchy, and clear.
- Turn [.red]workplace stress[.red] into [.green]daily jokes[.green].
Vivid and impactful.
Real example:
The copy maintains the core promise, yet it doesn’t truly target pains.
2. Use conflict strategy
Let’s say we’re selling running shoes.
Here is the headline:
[.red]Forget everything[.red] you know about running.
[.purple]Ditch the excuses.[.purple] [.pink]Lace up.[.pink] [.yellow]Rediscover what it feels[.yellow] like to [.blue]really run[.blue].
So, here is the formula:
[.red]conflict[.red] + [.purple]eliminating pain points[.purple] + [.pink]visualization[.pink] + [.yellow]excitement[.yellow] + [.blue]realization[.blue]
3. Use “no more” or “stop”
For example:
Stop repeating, [.red]“I hate going to the gym”.[.red]
It’s time to view [.green]exercise as an excitement[.green].
Formula: Stop [.red]“pain point”[.red]. It’s time to [.green]“turning pain points into excitement”.[.green]
Now, learn everything you need about call to action.
2. Call to action (CTA)
