Looking for a website builder
Hey fellow IH'ers,
I am on the lookout for a drag and drop website builder that outputs HTML and CSS (or maybe React). I am currently looking into ways to automate designing and coding simple dashboards, and reusing simple tables, forms etc... with my custom API to fill the tables. I will be hosting the website myself.
It would be great if the solution would be open source.
Currently my process looks like this:
- Buy a template from ThemeForest.
- Create a headless API backend.
- Adjust the template to integrate with the backend.
As this is very repetetive, I am looking into automating things!
I've used https://www.plasmic.app/ but am not sure it fits your needs.
There's another one, but more on the indie side https://utopia.app/
Thank you so much,
https://www.plasmic.app/pricing --> seems interesting but they host it themselves,
https://utopia.app/ --> looks very interesting, thank you!
You're welcome!
I get the struggle, every other month or so I have an urge to look up a framework agnostic tool to let me drag and drop layouts and export my code. And every month I end up agreeing that it's actually easier to code everything from scratch.
Check out https://shuffle.dev/- you can build a template there in visual editor, export code to polish it in your IDE, and add api / whatever you need. It supports Tailwind / Bootstrap / Bulma / Material-UI.
You may be interested in https://www.framer.com/docs/guides/handshake/ though I found it wasn’t quite production-ready enough for me.
How much would you be willing to pay a month for it?
What frontend framework are you using?
