What is it?

Frappe Builder is a low-code website builder that runs on the Frappe Framework. Users design pages in a Figma-like visual editor, with responsive views and built-in dark mode, then publish the site with a single click. The project aims to avoid the extra scripts and styles that bloat pages built with many other tools.

Pages can be data-driven through Frappe's built-in CMS, which fetches content from the site's database. Customization covers global scripts, client scripts, per-block data scripts, typed block props, and bindings of properties or styles to scripts, page data, or query parameters. A built-in analytics dashboard reports page views, unique visitors, and top referrers.

The project also includes an AI site builder named Bob that edits pages through chat, reusing existing components and theme tokens and asking for approval on sensitive changes. It can be deployed on Frappe Cloud or self-hosted with Docker or Bench.

  • Production self-hosting needs a domain name and uses a separate install script, so it takes more setup effort than managed hosting.
