Welcome to the wiki for our WebsiteBaker products!
History
When we switched hosting providers, we had to look for a new development environment for our websites. After an extensive process of research and testing, we settled on WebsiteBaker. Some of our criteria were: it must have a solid development history, be used by a large group of users or organizations, and, above all, be open source. And last but not least: it must be future-proof. As it has become clear that WebsiteBaker is no longer being actively developed, we have decided to switch to WBCE: a modern framework with active, future-proof ongoing development. We are currently in the process of converting all our modules, tools and templates for use within WBCE.
Development
We initially started with the standard WebsiteBaker platform, supplemented with third-party templates and modules. For various reasons, we began developing more and more of our own templates and modules, which better align with our vision of user-friendly, modern software. Our approach is to build a layer on top of the WebsiteBaker environment, based on WebsiteBaker’s features and supplemented with our own.
Ecosystem
Ultimately, we decided to develop our own ecosystem, identifiable by the “FR” prefix in the names. Within this ecosystem, themes, templates, modules, and tools work well together. We believe it’s important that even a “less experienced” end user should be able to work with our products. This wiki is part of our commitment to user-friendliness.
