Of course, naturally, you can change restrictions to certain users, but you get the example.
While naturally we are talking about a user-friendly interface, this might be a good time to give a little tip. KEEP IT SIMPLE. I can't stress this enough. You want to be aiming for the least number of clicks possible, along with having a stress-free site that your customers are going to get frustrated with.
The Extensive Template Library
One of the standout features of Odoo Website Builder is its extensive template library.
It provides a diverse range of professionally designed templates for various industries and use cases. These templates serve as an excellent starting point for your website, saving you time and effort.
I would highly advise that you keep everything out of the box. A bit of code is fine if you fancy yourself a techie, but when it comes to extensive theme plugins that cost you money, you are going to be best off steering clear.
Odoo Vs WordPress
Now, I am sure you have heard of WordPress naturally.
When it comes to choosing a website development platform, you're likely to consider the battle between Odoo Website Builder and WordPress somewhere down the line.
Most have heard of it along with other suitable platforms such as Wix or Squarespace online.
