Introduction

What is Wized?

Note for Wized Users: If you're already familiar with Wized, this guide focuses specifically on using Wized with custom-built websites. The core concepts remain the same with very small differences

Wized is a powerful visual development platform that allows you to add dynamic functionality to your custom websites without writing complex code. It bridges the gap between static website designs and fully functional web applications by providing a visual interface to connect your frontend elements to backend services, APIs, and databases.

With Wized, you can extend your custom-built sites with powerful backend integrations and interactive features. Instead of building everything from scratch, you can create sophisticated solutions tailored to your exact needs. Wized handles the logic, data fetching, and interactivity while you maintain full control over your custom site design and architecture.

What Can You Build with Wized + Custom Sites?

The combination of custom sites and Wized is incredibly powerful. You can transform your custom website into a fully dynamic web application. Here are some examples of what you can create:

User Dashboards & Personalization - Build custom user dashboards that display personalized data from external services like Airtable, Supabase, or Firebase. Create user-only areas with dynamic content that updates based on user permissions, subscription status, or activity history.

Advanced E-commerce Features - Add custom product configurators, real-time inventory displays from external systems, dynamic pricing calculators, or integrate with third-party fulfillment and payment processors. Build custom checkout flows that connect to any backend system.

Dynamic Directories & Listings - Create searchable directories with advanced filtering, real-time search, and data pulled from external databases. Perfect for job boards, real estate listings, business directories, or any content that needs powerful search and filter capabilities.

Forms & Multi-Step Workflows - Build sophisticated multi-step forms with conditional logic, real-time validation, and data that saves to any backend service. Create booking systems, application processes, or onboarding flows that integrate with your existing tools and databases.

Custom Integrations & Automation - Connect your site to virtually any API or service. Display live data from CRMs, project management tools, analytics platforms, or any service with an API. Automate workflows between your website and external services without relying on third-party middleware.
