Looking to launch a new website or switch from your current CMS to something more integrated?
If you’re already using Odoo or thinking about it, there’s a strong case to be made for keeping your website in the same ecosystem.
Learn how the Odoo Website Builder works, what features you’ll find in the latest version, where its strengths (and limits) lie, and how to decide if it’s the right platform for your business.
What is the Odoo Website Builder?
At its core, the Odoo Website Builder is a content management system (CMS) that’s fully integrated into the Odoo ecosystem.
It’s designed for businesses that want to move quickly, keep everything in one place, and avoid the usual headaches of syncing data between disconnected tools.
The website editor works with a drag-and-drop interface, meaning you don’t need coding skills to design and update your pages.
Every element, from banners to buttons to dynamic product listings, can be added visually and with zero technical experience.
But what makes Odoo’s approach unique is its native integration with the rest of your business. It’s part of a larger, modular system including CRM, Sales, eCommerce, forms, events, email marketing and more - everything lives in the same database.
That means fewer plugins, less maintenance, and far more control.
Who should use Odoo Website?
Odoo Website makes the most sense when you’re already using (or planning to use) other parts of the Odoo stack. It’s especially well suited for:
- SMEs that want one system instead of piecing together forms, CRM, and email across different tools
- Teams that are done dealing with plugin updates, version conflicts, and unreliable integrations
- Companies that want their website, leads, and campaigns to work together from the start
- Companies that don’t want to lose time puzzling how every tool fits together
- Teams that want a setup that’s easy to internally manage and fix
- Businesses that want to grow without switching tools every time their needs change

Odoo Website vs WordPress vs Wix vs Squarespace
If you’re looking for a user-friendly, visual way to launch your site, chances are you’ve looked at platforms like Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress.
Wix and Squarespace are popular drag-and-drop builders, while WordPress is known for its flexibility and vast plugin ecosystem. But how do they compare to Odoo Website?

eCommerce features | Native, integrated with other apps | Various eCommerce plugins | Available with Business plans | Available, but separate from CRM |
CRM integration | Built-in (Odoo CRM) | Third-party plugins | Third-party apps only | Basic form-to-email + integrations |

Bottom line
Wix and Squarespace are great if your priority is visual design and fast launch without deeper business system needs.
Compared to Odoo, WordPress offers the most flexibility and a massive plugin ecosystem, but requires more maintenance and often depends on external tools to match integrated business features.
Odoo Website is ideal if you want your website to directly connect with CRM, forms, email campaigns, and more - all in one database.
If you’re looking for a best-of-breed, high scaling eCommerce solution that integrates with your system, consider integrating your Odoo with Shopify.
If your business already runs on Odoo (or plans to), keeping your website in the same system just makes sense.
