What is Odoo Website Builder?
The Website Builder assembles pages from drag-and-drop blocks with no coding. Because it runs on the same database as the rest of Odoo, a form on a page can create a CRM lead and a product block can show live stock — no plugins or connectors involved.
Key capabilities
- Drag-and-drop block editor with responsive output
- Forms that create real CRM leads, tickets or records
- Multi-language and multi-website from one installation
- Built-in SEO controls, sitemap and page-level metadata

Pricing & integrations
Odoo Website Builder pricing: Available under the One App Free tier; also in Community edition. Odoo's One App Free tier means you can run this app at no licence cost for unlimited users, which makes it unusually cheap to trial properly. It is also present in the free open-source Community edition, which you can self-host at no licence cost if you have the technical capacity to run it. Odoo's all-apps pricing is per user regardless of how many apps you switch on, so adding more modules does not increase the per-seat cost. Prices change and vary by country — check current figures via the link on this page rather than relying on any figure quoted elsewhere.

Our verdict
Odoo Website Builder is worth looking at if you match its sweet spot — businesses that want the website and the back office to be one system. Its main advantage is that it runs on the same database as the rest of Odoo, so the data it produces is immediately usable everywhere else rather than needing an integration. The honest caveat with Odoo generally is that the subscription is rarely the largest cost: configuration and implementation usually are, and that is worth budgeting for before you commit. The free tier makes it genuinely low-risk to test this one first.

Frequently asked questions
Is Odoo Website Builder free?
Odoo Website Builder is available under Odoo's One App Free tier, which lets you run a single app at no licence cost for unlimited users. The moment you add a second app you move onto the paid all-apps plan.
Can I self-host Odoo Website Builder?
Yes. This app is included in Odoo's free open-source Community edition, which you can host on your own infrastructure at no licence cost. You take on the hosting, security, backup and upgrade work in exchange.
What does Odoo Website Builder actually cost to implement in the UAE?
The subscription is usually the smaller number. Most UAE businesses spend more on configuration, data migration and training than on licences in the first year, and complex modules like Manufacturing or Inventory need that investment to work properly. Get a written scope from an implementation partner before budgeting.
Do I need an Odoo partner, or can I set it up myself?
Simpler apps — Invoicing, CRM, Project, Employees — are realistically self-configurable by a capable team. Accounting, Inventory and Manufacturing are where most companies bring in a partner, because a wrong configuration produces confident but wrong output. There are many Odoo partners in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
What happens when Odoo releases a new version?
Odoo ships a major version roughly once a year. On Odoo Online, upgrades are managed for you. If you have customisations, each one needs re-testing against the new version — which is the main practical argument for customising only where your process genuinely differs.
