Creating Website Frontend Features

Odoo began as a backend system, but the need for a frontend interface was soon felt. The early portal features, based on the same interface as the backend, were not very flexible or mobile device-friendly.

To solve this gap, Odoo 8 introduced new website features, adding a Content Management System (CMS) to the product. This allows us to build beautiful and effective frontends without the need to integrate a third-party CMS.

Here, we will learn how to develop our own frontend-oriented addon modules, leveraging the website features provided by Odoo.
