Introduction
What is it?
OSnode DIY is a package for hosting your website that includes a beginner-friendly, WYSIWYG, low or no code web builder with drag&drop capabilities based on Sitejet Builder and also a lot of customization possibilities.
It starts from one of 160+ templates then you can add, remove or change you sections, components and text as you wish. There are plenty of ready to use components that you can drag on you page with multiple configuration possibilities.
It also includes a large photo stock available for free and an AI assistant to help you write your text.
Why OSnode DIY?
The solution would fit for people with limited knowledge of HTML, CSS, javascript and web development in general with its templates and ready to use components, but it also provides complete control of your pages if you wish to customize it.
How is different from Squarespace or Wix?
Squarespace and Wix might actually seem easier to get started. Since our DIY solution allows much more choices and control, it might seem more complicated than those. However, our solution offers 100% control! You can edit the resulting HTML, CSS, javascript and even PHP if you want. You will get full access to the generated code through our File Manager. We also offer the full set of features to all users.
In addition, with our solution, the site is generated after new changes and results in pages in plain HTML, CSS and javascript (just a little bit of PHP to handle form submission) that are hosted on our Litespeed servers. This will result in much faster rendering as we don’t need to compute the HTML file to send to the browser. This will result in higher speed score on pagespeed/lighthouse and, with full control, you would be able to implement almost all improvements available.
The same reasons will also apply to SEO.
