Pagecraft - No-Code Website Builder SaaS

Pagecraft is a complete, self-hosted SaaS platform that lets your users design and publish real websites and landing pages without writing a single line of code — and lets you charge them a monthly or yearly subscription for it.

Built on a real drag-and-drop editor (powered by the open-source GrapesJS engine), not a fake page-builder demo. Every user gets their own workspace where they can spin up sites from ready-made templates, edit them visually block-by-block, and publish to a live, public URL with one click.

Pagecraft is written in pure PHP with no framework dependency and no Composer/Node build step required to run — upload it to any standard PHP + MySQL hosting and it works.

Why Pagecraft?

• A genuine visual editor — drag blocks, edit text inline, adjust layout, style with a full style manager, not a static form-based "builder."
• Multi-tenant from the ground up: every user manages their own sites, pages, and published content, fully isolated from other accounts.
• Built-in subscription billing with Stripe — plan limits (site count, pages per site, custom domain access) are enforced automatically.
• A full admin panel to manage users, plans, templates, published sites, and platform settings.
• Database-driven multi-language system — the admin can add a new language and translate every string from the admin panel, no code editing or redeployment needed.
• Real transactional email — password reset, welcome emails, and an admin-configurable SMTP screen with a working "Send Test Email" button.

Requirements

PHP 8.1 or higher MySQL 5.7+ / MariaDB (with PDO MySQL extension) PHP extensions: pdo_mysql, mbstring, json, openssl, curl, fileinfo or GD A Stripe account (for subscription billing — optional if you only need the Free plan) An SMTP server or mail-sending capability (for password reset and transactional emails — falls back to PHP's native mail() if none configured) Apache with mod_rewrite (.htaccess) or equivalent rewrite rules on Nginx

Instructions

1. Upload all files to your server (or a subfolder). 2. Visit your domain in a browser — the installer will start automatically. 3. Step 1: the installer checks PHP version and required extensions. 4. Step 2: enter your MySQL database connection details. 5. Step 3: create your admin account (name, email, password). 6. Step 4: installation completes — log in at /admin with the account you just created. 7. In Admin → Settings, add your Stripe publishable key, secret key, and webhook secret to enable paid subscriptions. 8. In Admin → Settings → Email (SMTP), add your SMTP credentials and click "Send Test Email" to confirm delivery (or leave blank to use native mail()). 9. In Admin → Plans, adjust pricing and limits to match your business model. 10. If your host shows a "View not found" error right after upload, upload the included fix_permissions.php to your project root and open it once in a browser, then delete it. 11. (Optional) In Admin → Languages, add a new language and translate the interface from the admin panel.
