Odoo 19 continues to enhance the Website Builder experience by making website creation faster, easier, and more intuitive. The Odoo Website Builder allows users to create professional websites without requiring programming skills. With its visual editor and modular design approach, even beginners can build functional and attractive websites in a short amount of time.

This guide introduces the basic steps to get started with the Odoo Website Builder, from installation to publishing your first page

Installing the Odoo Website Module

We understand that the initial setup can be daunting, especially if you are new To begin using the Website Builder, users must first install the Website module from the Odoo Apps menu. Once installed, the Website app becomes accessible from the main dashboard.

After installation, Odoo automatically creates a default homepage. From here, users can start editing the site immediately using the “Edit” button located on the top right corner of the page.

This streamlined setup process is frequently praised in YouTube tutorials because it eliminates complicated configuration steps often found in traditional website platforms.

Understanding the Website Editor Interface

The Odoo Website Editor uses a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) interface. When edit mode is enabled, users can click directly on page elements to modify text, images, or layouts.

On the left side, users can access building blocks, which include sections for headers, banners, content, calls-to-action, and footers. These blocks can be dragged and dropped anywhere on the page.

In my experience, this editor makes experimenting with design easy because changes can be previewed instantly without affecting the live site until published.
Users can participate in beta testing programs, providing feedback on upcoming releases and influencing the future direction of the platform. By staying current with updates, you can take advantage of the latest tools and features, ensuring your business remains competitive and efficient.

Creating and Managing Pages

Odoo Website allows users to create multiple pages such as About Us, Services, Contact, and Blog pages. Pages can be added through the website menu and organized using navigation menus.

Users can also set pages as public or private, control visibility, and manage SEO settings for each page. This is especially helpful for businesses that want to publish content gradually.

The ability to manage pages visually makes website structuring more intuitive compared to manual coding methods.

Customizing Design and Layout

Customization in Odoo Website is done through theme settings and block options. Users can change colors, fonts, spacing, and backgrounds to match their brand identity.

Advanced users may also add custom HTML or CSS, but this is optional. For most beginners, the built-in customization tools are more than enough to create a professional-looking site.

According to many YouTube reviewers, Odoo’s customization options strike a good balance between creative freedom and ease of use.

Publishing and Maintaining the Website

Once content and design are complete, users can publish the website with a single click. Odoo also allows ongoing maintenance, including updating content, tracking performance, and improving SEO.

The real advantage is that all website changes can be managed from the same Odoo backend used for business operations.
