GritCMS

GritCMS is a self-hostable Creator Operating System that bundles a website builder, email marketing, courses, commerce, CRM, community, funnels, booking and affiliate tools into one workspace. Creators typically need a website, an email tool, a course platform, a store, a CRM and a booking calendar — each a separate subscription with its own data silo and login. The project required a deep understanding of the domain and a meticulous approach to user experience design. We needed to build something that was not only visually stunning but also incredibly fast and reliable at scale.

GritCMS puts every one of those functions behind a single admin panel and a single contacts database, so a subscriber, a student and a customer are the same record. It ships as a self-hostable Go + Next.js monorepo with built-in billing plans, plus Pulse performance and Sentinel WAF dashboards mounted inside the same API, deployable to any VPS via Dokploy or Docker Compose.
