Web design agency, San Francisco.
Systems-thinking web design for SF B2B SaaS, AI startups, and venture-portfolio companies. Marketing sites that read as technical as the product. Core Web Vitals green, WCAG 2.2 AA, remote-first on Pacific Time.
Reads as technical as the product.
SF web design is B2B SaaS marketing-site work, AI-startup brand systems, and venture-portfolio companies — sites where the product is technical and the buyer expects the site to read like one. Three weeks versus Series B speed is the standard cadence: a marketing site that has to ship before the next board meeting and look credible to a technical evaluator and a Sequoia partner at once. Digital Heroes designs those sites — systems-thinking, on a non-negotiable Core Web Vitals and WCAG 2.2 AA floor, built on Next.js or Webflow — remote-first on Pacific Time. For the broader SF context, see our main San Francisco agency page.
- SF web design for B2B SaaS, AI startups, and venture-portfolio companies — systems-thinking, technically credible.
- Built for the Series-B-speed cadence: a marketing site that ships fast and reads credible to a technical buyer and a VC.
- Core Web Vitals and WCAG 2.2 AA are a non-negotiable floor; visual ambition lives on top, never instead of it.
- SEO preservation is a 3-phase plan (pre-audit, verbatim-forward + 301 map, 90-day rank monitoring) against the 30-60% drop.
- Remote-first, no SF office; Pacific Time coverage; we fly in for kickoff and launch by arrangement.
Pacific Time. A 6-hour overlap with our New York book.
San Francisco runs three hours behind our New York book. We don’t maintain a San Francisco office — our staffed HQs are New York and Delhi — but our coverage tracks the San Francisco working day Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 6 PM PT, with same-day Slack response and weekly demos. The clock below shows the daily collaboration band between your hours and ours.
Three SF briefs, one technical bar.
B2B SaaS marketing sites. The site behind a sales-led or product-led SaaS — clear product narrative, pricing that survives scrutiny, docs and changelog that read like the product team wrote them, and conversion paths instrumented from launch. Built on Next.js for speed and SEO. Pairs with our web design for SF brands.
AI-startup brand systems. Early-stage AI companies that need a credible site fast — restrained, technical, never the over-rendered gradient cliche. The design has to signal substance to engineers evaluating the product and to investors evaluating the team. See our SF brand identity.
Venture-portfolio companies. Portfolio companies on the seed-to-Series-B path needing a marketing site that ships before the next milestone. Fast, systems-based design that a small team can extend without a designer in the room.
No ranking left on the table.
An SF redesign protects against the 30 to 60 percent post-redesign traffic drop most agencies cause, on a fixed cadence: discovery, on-screen design directions, build with weekly PT demos, launch plus a 90-day recovery report.
Phase 1: pre-audit. Full Google Search Console URL inventory, top-500 keyword ranking export, and on-page audit of every ranking page before any design work starts.
Phase 2: forward + map. Every ranking URL carries its title, meta, and H1 forward verbatim; a 301-redirect map for every changed URL; a CWV budget enforced for launch day, validated against PageSpeed Insights and a WCAG audit, both green before launch.
Phase 3: monitor. Daily rank monitoring for 90 days post-launch plus a written recovery report at day 90. Reach the team at +1 (646) 847 1584 or book a 30-minute SF design call.
"SF buyers are technical and read a site like they read code. It has to be credible, fast, and shipped before the next board meeting — we design to that, remote-first from NY and Delhi, on a plane when it counts."
Five answers on SF web design.
Do you design B2B SaaS marketing sites for San Francisco companies?
It is the bulk of our SF design work. We design the marketing site behind a sales-led or product-led SaaS: a clear product narrative, pricing that survives scrutiny, docs and changelog that read like the product team wrote them, and conversion paths instrumented from launch. Built on Next.js for speed and SEO, with a design system a small team can extend.
How fast can you ship an SF marketing site before a board meeting?
A visual refresh runs 6-8 weeks; a full redesign 10-14 weeks. SF timelines are set by funding rounds and launches, so we plan the cadence around your milestone and front-load the work that gates it. We will tell you honestly whether your date is realistic for the scope, and what a leaner version that hits the date would look like if it is not.
Do you work in person with San Francisco clients?
We are remote-first with no SF office — staffed HQs in New York and Delhi. We run Pacific Time with same-day response, and fly in for kickoff and launch by arrangement, with travel built into scope. The honest version: a remote design partner that knows the SF B2B SaaS and AI-startup market, not a local SF studio.
How do you handle SEO preservation for a San Francisco redesign?
A three-phase plan against the 30 to 60 percent post-redesign drop. Pre-audit: full Search Console URL inventory, top-500 ranking export, on-page audit before design. Forward and map: every ranking URL carries title, meta, and H1 forward verbatim, a 301 map for every changed URL, a CWV budget enforced for launch. Monitor: daily rank monitoring for 90 days plus a written recovery report at day 90.
Next.js or Webflow for a San Francisco site?
Next.js when the marketing site needs to share components or a design system with the product, or when SEO and performance are make-or-break — the common SF answer. Webflow when a non-technical marketing team needs to own and edit the site without engineering time. We recommend based on who maintains it after launch, not on what we prefer to build.
