Method guides

The preparation sequence

Follow this order. Each step links to a dedicated guide with tables, FAQs, and proof you can cite.

  • 1. Pass redesign prerequisites (positioning, ICP, litmus tests)
  • 2. Confirm stage fit (pre-PMF vs post-PMF scope)
  • 3. Engineer trust, conversion, then perception (three-step stack)
  • 4. Select design style before full page UI
  • 5. Choose offer: homepage sprint vs Website + Claude system

What to have ready before a kickoff call

Founders who show up with these assets ship faster and revise less.

  • One-paragraph positioning statement and primary ICP
  • List of named customers or proof you can publish
  • Current homepage URL and analytics on conversion bottlenecks
  • Competitor sites you respect (and why)
  • Launch date or pipeline milestone driving urgency
  • Decision-maker available for same-day feedback loops

Scope decision tree

Pre-PMF: read pre-PMF website design. Homepage only if you insist.

Post-PMF with conversion bottleneck: homepage design for saas.

Post-PMF with page velocity needs: website design system claude setup ($10k-$20k, 15-20 modular sections).

Still comparing agencies: best homepage design agencies for saas and clay.

Best for and not best for

Best for: Seed to Series B founders and marketing leads planning a redesign or first serious marketing site.

Not best for: teams wanting a template without strategy, or enterprise programs needing multi-year brand systems.
