In today’s fast-paced digital world, users expect transparency and reliability. A public status page is no longer a luxury — it’s a must-have for every SaaS product that takes trust seriously.
Trust is the currency of SaaS. And in the eyes of your users, transparency builds that trust — especially when things go wrong. That’s why having a public status page isn’t just “nice to have” anymore. It’s foundational.
A status page is a public-facing dashboard where users can check the current operational state of your product or services. It usually includes uptime history, ongoing incidents, maintenance windows, and performance metrics.
Think of it as your digital “weather report” — open, accessible, and up to date.
Most SaaS companies rely on uptime to deliver value. When downtime happens — and it will — your users don’t just want to know what’s broken. They want to know that you know and that you care.
Companies with public status pages consistently report higher user satisfaction during incidents. Instead of frustration and assumptions, there’s clarity and trust. A status page shows your commitment to accountability.
Plus, if you’re selling to developers, IT teams, or enterprises — they expect it.
With Watchman Tower, creating and managing a status page is easy. Customize your branding, select the checks to display, and let our monitoring system update it automatically. Whether it’s uptime, response time, or incidents — it’s all in one place.
You can even host it on your own domain (e.g., status.yourcompany.com).
Your users don’t need perfection — they need communication. A status page gives them peace of mind, even during chaos.
In SaaS, silence during an outage is the loudest failure. A status page speaks when your product can’t.
