A Developer-First Platform
DashForDevs is a developer-first platform for building and managing websites, online stores, service businesses, and wholesale operations. Instead of giving you a rigid template, DashForDevs gives you a powerful dashboard, a TypeScript SDK, and a REST API — so you can build exactly the frontend your project needs.
What Can You Build?
DashForDevs supports multiple organization types, each with features tailored to the business model:
E-commerce Stores
- Full product catalog with variations, sizes, and bulk pricing
- Shopping cart, checkout, and order management
- Shipping rates, label generation, and tracking via your connected UPS, FedEx, or ShipStation account
- Inventory management and stock tracking
- Discount codes, loyalty points, and affiliate programs
Service-Based Websites
- Service listings and content pages
- Contact form management and CRM
- Appointment scheduling and calendar
- Blog and content management
- Client communication and lead tracking
Wholesale / B2B
- Bulk pricing and quantity-based discounts
- Tiered customer access and wholesale-only catalogs
- Volume-based ordering
- Customer tagging and segmentation
How It Works
1. Sign up and create an organization (choose your type: ecommerce, service, or wholesale)
2. Add your content — products, services, blog posts, pages, media
3. Install the SDK: npm install github:CodeCraftStudios/dash4devs-sdk
4. Build your frontend with Next.js (or any framework)
5. Deploy anywhere — Vercel, Netlify, or your own server
