    Website Builder and Design

    Odoo's drag-and-drop website builder enables non-technical users to create professional websites. Choose from responsive templates, customize layouts with building blocks (headers, features, testimonials, pricing tables), and adjust colors and typography to match your brand. CSS access is available for advanced customization.

    • 50+ pre-designed building blocks for common page sections
    • Responsive templates that adapt to mobile, tablet, and desktop
    • Theme customization with brand colors, fonts, and logo placement
    • Blog module for content marketing and SEO
    • Multi-page websites with custom navigation menus
    • Form builder for contact, quote request, and survey pages
    Mobile-First Design

    Preview every page on mobile before publishing. Over 60% of e-commerce traffic comes from mobile devices. Odoo's responsive templates handle most cases, but check product image scaling and checkout flow on small screens.

    Product Catalog and Variant Management

    Products created in Odoo automatically appear on the website with synced pricing, descriptions, and images. Product variants (size, color, material) display as selectable options on the product page. Inventory levels sync in real time, showing stock availability or sold-out status without manual updates.

    Product categorization with filters (price range, attributes, brand) helps customers navigate large catalogs. Smart product recommendations based on purchase history and browsing behavior increase average order value.

    Payment Gateways and Shipping Integration

    Odoo integrates with 20+ payment providers for global coverage. Configure multiple payment methods and let customers choose their preferred option at checkout. Shipping integration connects with major carriers for real-time rate calculation and automatic label printing.

    • Automatic XML sitemap generation and submission
    • Meta title and description editing per page and product
    • Clean URL structure with customizable slugs

    Abandoned Cart Recovery

    B2B E-commerce Features

    Odoo's B2B e-commerce features support business customers with login-required pricing, customer-specific pricelists, purchase order payment, and payment on terms (Net 30, Net 60). These features enable wholesale and distribution businesses to offer self-service ordering to their business customers.
