Common challenges for SaaS companies building websites at scale in Europe

SaaS companies building websites for European customers often face similar challenges that can make website development complex and costly.

From managing multiple platforms and meeting regulatory demands to offering multilingual websites and staying competitive, there is a lot to keep in mind and that risk bogging down your business.

But the good news is that the right platform, particularly a white-label website solution, can streamline your processes and help you scale efficiently.

In this blog post, we’ll dive into some of the common challenges SaaS companies face when building websites for European clients and explain how the right platform can address these issues.

Common challenges faced by SaaS companies selling websites at scale

1. Managing multiple platforms and tech stacks.
   One of the biggest headaches for SaaS companies that offer website services is managing multiple platforms and tech stacks. Each client might need different types of websites with varying features, templates, and integrations. This often requires switching between different tools, which not only adds complexity but is also more costly and can increase the chances of inconsistencies or errors.
2. High development and maintenance costs.
   Many SaaS companies start out their website services on platforms that require a lot of custom work and manual maintenance. Even a few minutes of custom work per site per month can add up, once you start scaling and can quickly become unmanagable once you reach hundreds of websites in your portfolio. 
3. Compliance with data privacy and accessibility regulations.
   In Europe, data privacy regulations like GDPR are strict and constantly evolving. Similarly, website accessibility standards are becoming more important, and falling short can result in penalties or loss of customer trust. Staying on top of these regulations requires ongoing vigilance and expertise, which can be challenging if you don’t have the right resources or technology in place.
4. Offering multilingual websites and managing domains.
   With European markets often spanning multiple languages and countries, offering websites in different languages is essential. However, managing multilingual websites with their associated domain rules and local requirements can be complex. Each market may have its own nuances, and making sure your platform supports this effectively can be a challenge.
5. Struggling to stay competitive and scale.
   In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, the ability to scale efficiently is key to staying competitive. If your tech stack is holding you back or your costs are rising faster than your revenue, it becomes increasingly difficult to compete with other providers who may have more efficient processes.

How a White-Label Platform Can Help

Many of the challenges listed above can be mitigated by using the right technology, and for SaaS companies, a white-label website platform can be the ideal solution. A white-label platform is specifically designed for professional website reselling, meaning you can offer fully branded websites to your customers without the need for heavy development work on your end.

Here’s how a good white-label website platform can solve your problems:

1. Consolidate your platforms: With a white-label platform, you can manage all your websites, templates, subscriptions, domains, and customer accounts from one place. This consolidation reduces the need for multiple tech stacks and tools, making the management process much more efficient and less prone to errors.
2. Reduce development costs: By selling websites on a white-label platform, you can save on development and maintenance costs. The platform handles essential functions like security, upkeep, and updates, allowing you to focus on what matters most—building and scaling your business. Essentially, you offer websites as if they are your own, but without the heavy lifting.
3. A foundation with GDPR and Accessibility in mind: Mono's white label website platform is designed with European data privacy and accessibility regulations in mind. This can save you a lot of time and effort as both you and your customers can rest assured that the foundation you're building websites on is meeting legal standards.
4. Easily offer multilingual websites.
   The right white-label platform can simplify the process of offering websites in multiple languages. This is essential for serving diverse European markets, where customers expect websites to be available in their own language and localized to their specific needs.
5. Save money and scale efficiently.
   By offloading technical upkeep, regulatory compliance, and consolidating your tech stack, you significantly reduce overhead costs. This allows you to scale your operations more effectively, freeing up time and resources that would otherwise be spent on website maintenance.
