How to Build a SaaS on WordPress Efficiently
Building a SaaS product on WordPress offers a cost-effective and scalable approach to launching an online service. With its extensive plugin ecosystem, built-in API support, and robust user management, WordPress provides a solid foundation for SaaS development. The process involves careful planning and execution, from choosing the right hosting to implementing security measures.
What We Think
If optimized correctly, WordPress can be a powerful platform for SaaS. Key factors include selecting managed hosting, leveraging custom plugins, integrating payment gateways, and ensuring security best practices. While plugins can handle most functionalities, custom development is often necessary for advanced features and seamless scalability.

Comparing SaaS Data Retention Policies from 5 Major Providers
Understanding data retention policies is crucial for businesses relying on software (SaaS). These policies determine how long customer data is stored before being permanently deleted, ensuring protection against accidental loss and compliance with legal regulations.
However, retention policies vary widely across providers and even within different service tiers of the same vendor. Once data is removed from a system, recovery might be impossible unless the organization has its own backup strategy. That’s why choosing the right SaaS provider and retention policy is essential.
User journey mapping helps SaaS companies reduce churn, improve onboarding, and enhance feature adoption by identifying pain points. Businesses can track key metrics like activation rate and time to first value by analysing behavioural data and user feedback. Setting clear goals and building detailed user profiles ensures continuous improvement. Collaboration across teams makes journey mapping a powerful tool for growth.
