Websites are a core component of any business and having a good website usually means:

  • Lot of money.
  • Hard to update.
  • Not interactive.

Unless you are a web designer yourself.

Would not it be nice if there was a way to update your product catalog on your site automatically from your ERP?

We thought exactly the same and hence built a small Website Development app right inside or ERPNext! Using ERPNext’s Website module, you can

  1. Create Web Pages
  2. Write a Blog
  3. Publish your Product Catalog using the Item master

We will soon be adding a shopping cart facility so that your customers can place orders and pay you online!

Though not necessary, to make a good website, you might have to know a bit of HTML / CSS or hire the services of a professional. The good part is that once this is setup, you can add and edit content, blogs and products directly from your ERP.

The ERPNext website (www.erpnext.com) is generated from the Website Module! In the world of startups, its called eating-your-own-dog-food!
