New year. New releases.

We hope your 2024 is off to an epic start! Here at Frappe, we've been cooking up some game-changing updates and stories that we want to share with you. We don't just make software; we live and breathe it in our daily operations. Sales operations? Moved to the new Frappe CRM. Website? Got a makeover with the creative touch of Frappe Builder.  After all, what good is sharing software if we can't vouch for it ourselves?

We kicked off the year with a live launch and demo of Frappe Builder, turning our Frappe Website into a fresh, intuitive look that resonated with our brand personality. Frappe Builder isn't just a tool; it's your ticket to crafting websites with your touch of artistic flair.

And that’s how we began the year – with innovation, creativity, and a fresh new vibe. So buckle up because there's a lot more in store for you!
