SiteOS – Website platform with CRM, email, and analytics

There were two main reasons I decided to take on this project: #1: While working as a web designer, I would often spend significant time going back and forth with my clients over external tooling (e.g. creating new email accounts, recovering lost Google Analytics passwords, etc), so I started searching for an integrated platform. The best solution at the moment was a product called GoodBarry / Business Catalyst, which no longer exists (it was acquired by Adobe and then shutdown). I wanted to try building my own platform, making these tools easily accessible from a central administration…

In plain words

SiteOS is a website platform that combines site building, customer relationship management, email, and analytics in a single dashboard. Designed for web designers and their clients, it centralizes tools typically scattered across external services, eliminating the need to manage separate accounts and passwords. The platform prioritizes simplicity for non-technical users while offering design flexibility and code control for professionals.

In the maker’s words, at launch

There were two main reasons I decided to take on this project: #1: While working as a web designer, I would often spend significant time going back and forth with my clients over external tooling (e.g. creating new email accounts, recovering lost Google Analytics passwords, etc), so I started searching for an integrated platform. The best solution at the moment was a product called GoodBarry / Business Catalyst, which no longer exists (it was acquired by Adobe and then shutdown). I wanted to try building my own platform, making these tools easily accessible from a central administration panel, like cPanel, but without the extra tooling that would confuse non-tech savvy users. #2: None of the website builders at the time met my expectations in terms of design quality and code flexibility. This is no longer the case, as WebFlow has done a great job in creating a high quality website builder. However, once again I wanted to try building this for myself. After a few iterations, I developed a WYSIWYG editor that edits directly on existing HTML tags by using the style attribute, without adding class/code overhead, so that the HTML remains readable and can be easily expanded upon. There's definitely room for improvement on the building end, but for now, users can choose from 38 different templates, or they can upload their own website via the Files module, which should be compatible with the website editor as long as its not JavaScript dependent (e.g. uses frameworks). It's true that there is an abundance of similar platforms, the most popular one being HubSpot. However, I find most of these platforms to be bloated with features to the detriment of the UI/UX. With SiteOS, I wanted to build an intuitive platform, streamlined for website administration. The CRM automatically generates leads from website form submissions and email communications. Because I believe I created a developer-centric product, I decided to make it open source.

    I saw this [0] pretty cool thread by user revskill, and wanted a quicker way to search through it, but also to keep them all in one place so I can read them at my leisure whenever I get time. Right now is like 60 lines of Ruby using Nokogiri, but I will certainly look into it further down the line and improve the list. There's a cronjob checking the thread every 12 hours but I will eventually shut that down and it will become static after that. There are some really awesome blogs in there. I really recommend going through the list, it made my day. [0] "Could you share your personal blog…
