We make widgets editable — so the people who care about the content can own it.
Most embeddable widgets put the developer in the loop forever. Need a new headline? File a ticket. Want to swap an image? Email the designer. WebDYI breaks that pattern: the developer ships a template once, with a small schema declaring what's editable, and from then on the client (or the marketer, or the founder) tweaks it themselves through a clean no-code form.
Make interactive web experiences accessible to everyone by enabling creators to build once and allowing anyone to customize without code.
A world where adding powerful functionality to a website is as simple as adding text, images, or video.
Why we built it
Two patterns kept showing up. Designers building one-off widgets for clients, then becoming the bottleneck for every copy change. SaaS teams wanting to give customers embeddable views (a pricing table, a roadmap, a testimonial reel) but not wanting to ship a half-baked CMS to do it.
The Shopify section model nailed this for storefronts: a section is code + schema; the schema is what the merchant edits. We took that idea, made it framework-agnostic, and put it on a static-served CDN so the result loads fast enough to embed anywhere.
What WebDYI is
- A widget editor — write HTML, CSS, and JS in a familiar playground. Declare what's customizable with a small JSON schema. Save as a template.
- A customizer for clients — auto-generated no-code form: text inputs, color pickers, image/video uploads, drag-sortable repeatable blocks. Saves are instant, token-gated, and tied to a specific widget instance.
-
A widget CDN — every customized instance lives at
cdn.webdyi.com/w/{id}: a tiny static shell with the precompiled result inside a sandboxed iframe. Edge-cached, sandbox-isolated, embed-ready.
Who it's for
Designers
Sell or hand off widgets that clients can actually edit. No "send me the new copy" round-trips.
Agencies
Build a branded widget library once, deploy across many clients — each with their own customized version.
SaaS teams
Ship embeddable widgets your customers configure themselves. No CMS to build, no widget API to maintain.
How we build it
WebDYI runs on a global serverless edge — your widgets are served from data centers close to your visitors, with a managed relational database for configurations and secure object storage for your media. The editor is a deeply customized build of the excellent LiveCodes playground, with a familiar Shopify-style schema and an intuitive no-code customizer layered directly on top. User accounts use industry-standard identity protection, and all subscriptions are handled securely by our payment processor.
Every customized widget is completely precompiled at save time and deployed as an ultra-lightweight, static HTML page directly onto a global Content Delivery Network (CDN). When a visitor loads your embedded widget, zero heavy scripts or editor engines have to boot up. That's exactly why WebDYI widgets load instantly, anywhere they're pasted on the web.
