How do I make my own website builder

[RTX 3090]

I want to make my own website builder, something like Wix or Square space, is there any premade template to do this

[Lurick]

You want a template builder like Wix to build a template site builder like Wix? Yah, no. You need to have intimate programming knowledge and business knowledge among a whole host of other skillsets to make something from scratch and sell it.

Are you just wanting a website builder which you can install via cPanel?

 

If so, then Wordpress is what you're looking for - https://docs.cpanel.net/knowledge-base/third-party/how-to-install-wordpress-with-cpanel/

If it was that easy to create a site builder, nobody would rely on Square Space or Wix.

They want a website builder builder so they can build a website builder of their own to complete with Wix an the like I think.

[manikyath]

so.. you want a website builder for website builders...

 

if that exists, i guarantee you the end result will be horribly secure and hilareously unoptimized...

 

maybe there's a website builder to make website builders for website builders...

I need to create multiple websites (around 20) each with their own subdomain and website, so wanted something to basically do all this for me. Also wanted it relatively easy to use like wordpress or wix

Not doing any payment processing, just a basic site

security is about more than payment processors.. unless you are really into bad actors finding backdoors to place malicious payloads on your server.

[FloRolf]

Hey I am looking for something similar, maybe you can help. 

Instead of a template for a template I just want a straight template to infinite money. Any ideas?

But if I don't have any user databases, just a basic site with a few pictures and text, there is nothing for them to find a backdoor into. No databases, no SQL queries

How can they place a payload if there is nothing to place a payload into (they cant do SQL injection, no search feature and no databases anyways). Can't do XSS as no input feild. Just basic HTML web design

a website builder is a very dynamic situation with lots of potential for security gaps, a premade template for something can be assumed to be absolute minimal effort. might i remind you that the hilareously plain "flash game collection" websites of yesteryear were often a target of mailicous payloads, despite the fact there was literally nothing a user could do there besides click links?

 

FloRolf actually put it pretty nicely:

It may be more helpful to park the debate on the existance of a 'website builder builder', and talk about what your end goal with this is, because otherwise we'll just end up going into loops.

You could write software to generate HTML web pages, but that requires programming. 

 

An easier way to get web pages up quick and dirty, is to use MS word. Open the program, set the view to "web view" or "html view" or whatever it's called, and then you can basically create a page as if it's a word document. Save as web page and you're done.

I'm assuming OP's site builder is for personal use only, so it'd be an offline software tool. perhaps you're talking about the security of the tool whereas the OP's talking about the security of the sites generated?

(very) often I create small sites e.g. for a small business of a friend

I use Nicepage, create a subdomain and upload the files. 

I want to do this faster

I want something where I enter the name of the site, drag and drop a few images and text, and it auto creates a subdomain and uploads the site for me

Not an issue, so long as it can FTP into my cPanel and upload the files for me (or upload it using any other method)

that's not a website builder, that's just an admin tool.

 

i suggest you keep using the websites as you're used to them, and look into the API possibilities of the vareous control panels you need to log into for doing this, depending on the possibilities it's possible you can just make a script that does all the steps by API calls and FTP transfers.

 

also, for optimizing the process of actually making a website.. make a few template websites in your software of choice, let your 'customers' choose a template, and just copypaste content into the chosen template. also, from the little web design knowledge i have, i know it's possible to let the core website files pull its content (images, text, etc.) from an external source, so you could just literally put images in the right folder with the right name, put some text into a file, and call it a day.
