The API-first integration model enables your enterprise to embed website creation into your product and offer it as a native part of your services. Want to learn how? This article is for you.
As a domain registrar, hosting platform, or SaaS provider, you serve customers who eventually need a website. Building your own website builder is rarely practical because it can take years of development and significant ongoing investment. Sending customers to a standalone website builder isn’t ideal either. It introduces friction and disrupts their experience.
With website builder APIs, you can offer website creation as a native part of your products without building or managing one yourself. In this article, we’ll explore how website builder APIs enable this and how Brizy Enterprise makes website creation feel like a native part of your product.
Why standalone website builders create friction for B2B products
For many B2B providers, website creation is bolted on rather than built into the customer experience. For example, a hosting provider will sell domains and hosting and then point customers to a separate website builder where they’ll build their websites.
But when you point customers to a separate platform, they typically have to:
- Create another account 👎 (and in some cases purchase a new subscription). Customers already have an account with you, but they’ll have to create a new one and manage a new set of credentials.
- Learn a new interface 👎 They have to learn about the website builder provider’s dashboard, navigation, and settings.
This is inconvenient because what should feel like one product and experience ends up feeling like two. The friction doesn’t come from inconvenience alone. It also results from unnecessary complexity for the customer and your team. For example, if the builder has its own subscription, a billing question from the customer becomes a support ticket that your team can’t resolve.
You also hand over part of the customer journey to a third-party platform. This can weaken brand continuity, particularly if the third-party experience doesn’t meet the standards customers expect from your product.
Because of all this, it only makes sense to offer website creation as a native part of your products. How do you do it without building and managing a website builder yourself? Using website builder APIs.
Embedding website creation can also create business value beyond a smoother customer experience. It gives you a faster path to market than building the technology internally, creates opportunities to expand revenue per customer, and adds another reason for customers to stay within your product ecosystem.
What is a website builder API, and how does it power API-first integration?
A website builder API is an interface that lets another platform connect to a website builder and control the website creation process it powers. Basically, it exposes what the website builder can do to the external platform and allows that platform to access these functionalities directly.
As a result, you can use it to integrate website creation into your software product.
How does this work?
You use APIs to connect your software product to the website building platform’s capabilities. For example, project creation, AI-powered website generation, editor access, domain management, and publishing.
Then you offer these capabilities inside your software product as a native part of your services. Customers can sign up, create a website, edit it, and publish it as part of a connected experience without managing a separate provider account or customer journey. As such, you remain in control of onboarding, billing, and customer relationships.
To your customers, website creation feels like a native part of your product. Behind the scenes, the website builder provides the functionality while your platform controls when and how it's used.
Here’s a simple example of what this might look like.
A quick example
Let’s say you run a CRM for realtors and you want to offer website creation as part of your services. You’ll connect your CRM solution to the website builder using its API. When users click Create a Website in your CRM, your platform sends an API request to provision or generate the website and can then send the customer directly into the editing experience.
The workflow is initiated and controlled from your platform, while the website-building technology operates behind the scenes. This is a classic example of API-first integration because the website builder API provides the means for you to offer website creation as a native part of your software product.
Why API-first doesn’t necessarily mean headless
The term ‘API-first’ is often strongly linked to the headless software architecture where:
- The backend that manages the content is separated from the frontend where content is displayed.
- Content is delivered from the backend to the frontend using APIs.
But API-first doesn’t necessarily mean headless. An API-first integration model is about designing a platform so its capabilities can be integrated into other products through APIs. In the case of a website builder, that means you can use APIs to provision users, create website projects, generate AI-powered websites, launch the visual editor, and publish websites, all from within your own platform.
Instead of exposing raw content for another application to render, an API-first website builder exposes the workflows needed to deliver website creation as a native part of your product. Your customers continue interacting with your platform, while the website-building technology operates behind the scenes.
This is exactly how Brizy is designed.
How Brizy fits: a full-stack builder with an API-first integration model
Brizy is an API-powered white-label website-building platform that supports an API-first integration model for B2B partners. It is a complete solution that combines AI website generation, a visual drag-and-drop editor, project management, hosting, and publishing in a single platform.
Then, it provides you with different ways to integrate these capabilities and offer them as your own services.
The levels of Brizy integration
One of the biggest advantages of Brizy is that you don’t have to commit to a fully custom integration from day one. You can start from a simple white-label integration and then adopt deeper integration levels with time.
Brizy offers three levels of integration:
The table below shows how Brizy’s three integration levels compare in terms of implementation effort, customer experience, and control.
- Level 1: White-label deployment. You launch a Brizy dashboard branded with your own logo, colors, and domains. This is the fastest way to do it because it needs minimal development. If you want to get to market quickly, this is the option for you.
- Level 2: Connected experience. If you have an existing customer dashboard, you get to keep it and use single sign-on (SSO) to send your users into Brizy. Your users will move between your platform and the editor without managing separate credentials.
- Level 3: API-orchestrated experience. For the deepest level of integration, you use Brizy’s APIs to manage the entire website lifecycle from your own product.
At the API-orchestrated level, Brizy can become largely invisible to the end customer while remaining the technology powering the website-building experience behind the scenes. This level of integration takes full advantage of Brizy APIs for API-first integration.
How Brizy’s APIs support the API-first integration model
You can integrate Brizy’s capabilities deeply into your platform in the Brizy Enterprise plan. Two key APIs that enable this are the Brizy Cloud Admin API and the Brizy AI API.
The Brizy Cloud Admin API
This API lets your platform manage Brizy Cloud on behalf of your users. Your platform can use the API to create users, provision workspaces and website projects, manage assets, etc. It can also launch the Brizy editor via SSO. This means that, as a Brizy Enterprise partner, you can provision and manage websites from your application and send customers directly to the Brizy editor.
The Brizy AI API
This allows you to integrate AI website generation into your own onboarding experience. You can build the input from inside your product and send the collected information to Brizy AI.
Depending on how you integrate it, the API can create AI sessions and projects, return the AI-generated result, and convert it into a Brizy Cloud project where your users can continue editing.
These APIs work together to enable you to orchestrate the full website lifecycle from your own platform.
What can you do from your platform with an API-first Brizy integration?
By integrating Brizy into your product, you can:
- Create users, workspaces, and website projects from your own platform.
- Assign customers and team members to projects.
- Generate a website with Brizy AI from the partner’s own onboarding flow. You can have a Create a Website for Me button after customers sign up and provide their information. When customers click it, an API request is sent to Brizy AI to generate it.
- White-label the Brizy Cloud dashboard with your own branding.
- Receive webhook notifications when key website events are completed.
- Keep your own billing, subscriptions, customer management, and business logic outside Brizy.
- Connect the experience to your existing product using Single Sign-On (SSO)
- Choose how websites are published, on Brizy-managed infrastructure, synchronized to your own server, or exported as HTML depending on your setup.
Your customer doesn’t need to interact with a separate Brizy dashboard. You get to own the overall customer experience, including onboarding, billing, navigation, etc. Brizy powers the website-creation layer behind the experience.
Let’s look at a practical example to see how this works.
Example: From customer sign-up to a published AI-generated website
Let’s say you run a hosting platform that wants to offer AI-powered website creation as part of your services. Here’s how the entire experience happens within your platform:
1. A customer signs up for your service or activates a website plan.
2. You create the customer, workspace, and website project automatically using the Brizy Cloud Admin API.
3. The customer describes their business through an AI onboarding flow built into your application.
4. You send that information to the Brizy AI API, which generates a complete, multi-page website tailored to the customer's needs.
5. The customer opens the website in the Brizy visual editor through single sign-on (SSO), without creating another account or logging in again.
6. The customer customizes and publishes the website once they’re done editing. Depending on the setup, the website can be published on Brizy Cloud, on your own infrastructure, or exported as HTML.
7. Brizy handles the website-building technology behind the scenes, from AI generation and editing to publishing workflows and, depending on the deployment model, hosting.
8. You continue to manage your customer’s side of things, including your customer’s dashboard, plans and subscriptions, authentication, billing, and customer data.
Because you control the customer-facing experience, Brizy can remain largely invisible to the end customer. Hosting providers are only one example. The same integration model can work across a wide range of B2B and enterprise products.
Enterprise and B2B use cases for embedding website creation
Any business that wants to make website creation a seamless part of its offerings can partner with Brizy. If you run any of the following businesses, then API-first integration with Brizy Enterprise is for you.
Domain registrars
If you sell domains, website creation is a natural extension of the customer journey. You can help customers move from buying a domain to launching a website in a single workflow by partnering with Brizy. Instead of simply registering a domain and then leaving, you offer the complete website creation experience.
SaaS platforms
This includes SaaS providers whose customers need a website, landing page, or microsite alongside the core product. CRM platforms, booking systems, and vertical SaaS products are strong examples because website creation can become a natural extension of the service they already provide.
Marketing platforms
You can enable marketers to create campaign landing pages or promotional websites without having to switch between multiple tools. When you embed website creation into your marketing platform, it becomes another capability in your marketing ecosystem.
Event platforms
Event platforms can allow organizers to create event websites within their platform. With Brizy integrated, the organizer could provide information about their event, have AI generate the initial website, customize it in the editor, and then publish it. All without leaving your platform.
Agencies or service providers
Agencies and service providers operating at scale can use Brizy to deliver and manage client websites under their own brand without building their own website creation infrastructure. Depending on the workflow, this can range from a white-label deployment to a deeper API integration.
Regardless of your industry, provided your customers need it, you can offer website creation as a native part of your product. With Brizy Enterprise, you can do it while owning your customer’s experience.
Website builder APIs make these models possible. But not every API offers the same level of control, flexibility, or integration depth. So, what should an enterprise evaluate before choosing a website builder platform?
What should enterprises evaluate in a website builder API?
If you’re looking to embed website creation into your product, here are some important questions to ask.
- Can we white-label the builder? You should be able to use your own logo, colors, and domains so that you present the builder under your own brand.
- Can you provision users and projects automatically? This includes automatically creating users, workspaces, and projects. This way, your users can go from signup to website creation without manual setup.
- Is SSO available? So that your customers don’t need to manage separate credentials for your platform and the provider’s visual editor.
- Can you integrate AI website generation into your custom onboarding flow? Ideally, you should be able to collect customer information in your interface and use it to generate their website.
- Can you use your own templates? If you’re in a vertical SaaS industry, you should be able to provide your own templates so that the website created follows your industry’s standards.
- Does billing remain under your control? You shouldn’t have to hand over billing, subscriptions, and customer management. This could weaken your brand.
- Does the platform include hosting and infrastructure? Consider whether the provider supplies the hosting infrastructure, security, and platform management needed to operate this service at scale.
- Can the platform support your deployment model? Consider whether you need managed hosting, publishing to your own infrastructure, HTML export, or a combination of deployment options.
- What does implementation and ongoing support look like? API documentation is only part of an enterprise integration. Evaluate whether the provider can support your team during implementation, onboarding, testing, and rollout.
- Can you add custom functionality? If you want to extend the service with your own functionality, you should be able to do so.
As you’ve seen, there’s so much more you need to consider when choosing a website builder API apart from the technology itself. This isn’t to say that the technology that powers everything isn’t important. Quite the contrary. But for an enterprise integration, API access alone isn’t enough.
