Final Idea Validation
💡 Let’s dive into final steps to idea validation with your finished figma designs
By now you should have pre validated your idea and got some feedback from your target audience.
This means you should have every page fully designed. This should be your complete application and you should know exactly what it looks like from here.
You need to have your entire application designed this week so we can start development next week.
Once you have the designs completed, be sure to go back out to those who provided you feedback and share your updates and new additions if there were any.
You should also share these designs and features in the same places you did your pre-validation. Remember, these are your future users.
Please read the following article. It does a great job of explaining a few intricacies that you should be paying attention to as you go about designing your SaaS.
Building a Waitlist
Lets discuss how we can build out waitlist.
As always, there are dozens of ways you can go about building your waitlist page and collecting emails. We often use Webflow (another no-code tool) and connect submissions to Airtable using Make.
Webflow is a bit more complex to learn so in our example we use bubble. It will function the same.
At the end of the day a user has no idea what a website is built on, all they know is if it works and what the UI looks like.
If you are hiring a developer they can build this for you in webflow… if you would like to do it exactly how we do. But it doesn’t really matter what you use to build it, just that it serves its purpose.
If you are doing the development yourself, I recommend using bubble as you are familiar with it and don’t have to learn more stuff.
You need to design and publish your apps waitlist. This is going to be a landing page with a form to collect names and emails for your application. You also need to get this connected to a custom DNS.
I would recommend using the domain you would like to use for your app.
Here is how to implement custom domains.

I typically purchase my domains from Go Daddy.
