Why Build Your SaaS On WordPress?
Thousands Of Pre-Built Features
WordPress has thousands of plugins (and themes) with deep functionality. They all offer a great starting point for whatever functionality you need.
WordPress is Stable & Mature
It has been around and maintained for almost 20 years – one of the longest running content management infrastructure systems out there.
And its installed base is still growing!
Incredible Support
Just about any major (and most minor) software stack supports or integrates with WordPress. Additionally, it is well understood by hundreds of thousands of developers. If you need software development services for it, you have an abundance of choice!
Secure
WordPress has more users tearing apart its code looking for security issues than just about any other platform – by multiple orders of magnitude. With that kind of scrutiny, silly security issues don’t exist for long.
Isolated
A WordPress based SaaS (WaaS) automatically includes a certain level of tenant isolation that isn’t usually included in your standard built-from-scratch SaaS. This has huge positive ramifications for your customers.
Multiple Deployment Options
- Multisite
- Standard Sites
- Multi-tenant
Scalable
Easily scale both vertically (larger servers) and horizontally (more servers). Scale across multiple regions without breaking a sweat.
Multilingual
Easily build for your local audience with built-in support for translations and other locale specific items.
Open Source
100% open source mean that you can customize as much as you need to reflect your vision.
WordPress is an incredible platform on which to build your next SaaS.
It’s been around (what feels like) forever, has a huge community of developers, is well understood, has tons of themes and feature plugins and uses a battle tested tech stack.
What Will It Cost To Build Your SaaS On WordPress?
Multisite
You can get started building your SaaS with WordPress multisite for as little as $1000 without using WPCloudDeploy.
Standard Sites
This is the recommended deployment option for your MVP and most smaller SaaSes.
You can get started for around $2500.
Multitenant
This is the recommended option for large SaaSes.
Minimum deployment cost is around $5000.
Notes:
If you're not a developer, you'll need to add the cost(s) for a developer to your budget. Our services page have additional options for pre-configured packages to get your SaaS up and running FAST.
WordPress Will Cost Less In The Long Run
Start up costs are less. You don't need the most advanced developers which translates to lower costs. Scaling costs are less (compare to something like bubble.io which will easily cost an order of magnitude more.) Using existing feature plugins mean upgrade costs will be less.
There are lower costs everywhere you look!
Any Level of WordPress Developer Can Build a SaaS
Visual Developers
Developers who primarily use pre-built themes, page builders and existing plugins can easily build an MVP on WordPress.
Little to no code required to get to an MVP (minimum viable product) in most cases.
Intermediate Developers
Developers who have some familiarity with writing or making basic changes to WP code can easily build a SaaS with customized onboarding and a relative custom front-end.
In some cases you can configure and build things so that the user never sees the wp-admin area.
Advanced Developers
Advanced developers can use WordPress as a platform while building using WP headless concepts.
Fully customized and advanced onboarding, configuration, upsell-downsells are possible here.
