  • text: Technical buyers must balance business-led development with infrastructure control and data security.

personas

    pains:
    • Internal workflows live across disconnected databases and manual processes.
    • Engineering backlogs delay changes to operational tools.
  • title: CTO or IT leader
    pains:

objections

  • objection: Will we be locked into the platform?
    response: Code export and self-hosting are offered on paid plans; review the exported architecture against your requirements.
  • objection: Can IT control sensitive data?
    response: WeWeb describes connecting internal databases without replication and offers self-hosting; validate the exact compliance and deployment setup.
  • objection: Is the free plan enough for production?
