What if you thought about your website the way you think about your product?

Learning from early users is a crucial part of your startup's product development. You should be thinking about growth in the same way. In fact, your first website is more than just a place for leads to land — it's your marketing MVP.

We're busy entrepreneurs ourselves so we know it can be hard to give your website the attention it deserves. To help, we've put together three guides to help you build, analyze, and optimize your marketing MVP.

Analyze & learn

Your first website can teach you about potential customers, you just need good analytics and the know-how to make sense of the data. Our Google Analytics guide will walk you through how to start learning from your marketing MVP.

Test & optimize

As a startup, you probably don't have the resources to run robust experiments. The good news is that you can start simple and still gain a lot! Google's Optimize tool is a free and easy way to start testing some of those go-to-market ideas.

No designer required.

Don't sweat it if you don't have a fully designed brand when building your first website. We have templates created specifically to help startup founders like you get off the ground with your marketing MVP.
