The New York Times, but for a SaaS

Fraunces serif · cream paper · terracotta · real photography
SVG 3 PHOTO 4 USER 4

Founder-as-editor. The page reads like a quarterly magazine — a kicker, a hero photo, an issue strip, a numbered method. The photograph carries the trust; the type does the persuading. For audiences who want to feel like they're reading a publication, not a product page.

Linear / Vercel / Stripe energy

Space Grotesk · #0a0a0b · mint-cyan · terminal
SVG 4 PHOTO 0 USER 1

Pure black, soft mint accent, grid background, a CLI preview as the hero. The whole page is a developer's IDE — terminal commands, monospace path strings, prompt-and-output structure. For technical founders who want to see the API before they read the copy.

Notion meets the indie hackers

DM Serif · cream + coral · handwritten accents · speech bubbles
SVG 5 PHOTO 5 USER 4

Pastel playground with hand-drawn stickers, speech bubbles, and a "just ask them" stamp. The page feels like a friendly Slack DM from a cofounder, not a sales pitch. For audiences who don't want to feel sold to — small teams, indie hackers, design-led founders.

Datadog for funnel answers

Space Grotesk · #f6f7f9 · electric blue · live data mockup
SVG 4 PHOTO 0 USER 3

The product is the proof. The hero is a real-looking dashboard with a chart, a table of leaky pages, an impact score, and a green LIVE indicator. Below the metrics: a "38 founders" cohort strip with real portraits, real quotes, real impact numbers. For B2B buyers who want to see what the reports look like before they sign up.

V5 / BRUTALIST
◇ Economical Loud · unmistakable

Anti-SaaS. Anti-pretty.

Archivo Black · paper + red + yellow · file/zine · typewriter mono
SVG 3 PHOTO 2 USER 2

A file folder, not a homepage. Massive blackletter type, dashed underlines, marker-sticker annotations, file-issue metadata at the top, and a hand-drawn icon set (clock, target, sort-bar) on a black manifesto slab. The page is loud on purpose — it's a hand-stamped zine, not a designed page. For founders who want to be the loudest in the room, not the prettiest.

If you only pick one

My read on which version wins for which launch posture. (No wrong answer — these are five good directions, not five ranked options.)

FOR LIST BUILDING

V4 · Dashboard

The product visual IS the page. A founder who clicks the thumbnail sees a real-looking dashboard, a leaky-page table, an impact score, and "LIVE" — that's the entire sales argument in one image.

FOR THOUGHT LEADERSHIP

V1 · Editorial

Reads like a magazine, not a SaaS. The kicker, the issue strip, the numbered method — all signal "we're not selling you, we're showing you." Best for founder-led distribution on Twitter and LinkedIn.

FOR DEVELOPER LAUNCH

V2 · Dark Mode

The CLI preview IS the hero. The "funnellens scan" command at the top, the prompt-output structure, the green checkmark — every signal is for an audience that wants to see the API before the marketing.
