Why Startups in Nepal Need a Website from Day One
A startup without a website is like a store without a door.
Your website is your:
- Visibility engine (found via Google)
- Pitch deck for investors
- Brand identity canvas
- Lead generation tool
- Access point for global customers
Whether you're building a SaaS platform, logistics solution, edtech app, or eco-friendly brand—your startup website proves you exist and have a vision.
Key Features Every Startup Website Must Have
- Mission-driven homepage
- About Us with founding story
- Product/Service showcase or MVP preview
- Founder and team bios
- CTA forms (beta signup, demo request, newsletter)
- Trust signals (SSL, client logos, testimonials)
- Integration with analytics and CRMs
- Mobile-first layout
- Fast load time and responsive design
If you are launching soon, add a “Coming Soon” landing page to start capturing leads.
