Odoo Website: what it does, and what’s new in 20
Odoo Website is a block-based site builder living on the same database as CRM, inventory and events — a form submission becomes a lead and a product page reads live stock, with no middleware.
Since version 17 the builder, themes and SEO tooling have improved release over release; Odoo 20's changes below are the latest step, and the biggest batch of any app this cycle.
