Architect – HTML and Site Builder – Drag & Drop SaaS App

Deploying a self-hosted website builder or launching a web creation service often involves managing complex dependencies and restrictive licensing frameworks. Architect provides a lightweight, PHP-driven site editor and page builder that gives developers complete control over the application stack through full, unencrypted source code.

Architect is an unencrypted, PHP-based HTML page builder and SaaS framework created for developers, agencies, and digital product creators. Powered by PHP 8.1+ and MySQL, it enables users to generate responsive websites through visual drag-and-drop mechanics or operate a recurring subscription platform. It is best for teams requiring an embeddable site builder or standalone SaaS engine, but it is not suited for native WordPress plugin environments without custom API integration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What server requirements are required to run Architect?

Architect requires a web hosting environment running PHP 8.1 or higher along with a MySQL database. The server must also have the standard PDO and php_fileinfo extensions enabled.

Can I import third-party Bootstrap themes into the builder?

Yes. The administrative control panel allows administrators to upload custom HTML and Bootstrap templates directly. Once uploaded, these templates become immediately accessible to users inside the workspace.

Is the underlying code encrypted or obfuscated?

No. Architect is delivered with 100% unencrypted source code. Developers can freely inspect, modify, extend, and integrate the application into custom software architectures without restriction.
