Yes, that’s exactly what it is - a me-too of WordPress - on the surface. There are people like @paul.kelly1, and this group is not a small one anymore, who wish to respond to a demand from users who specifically avoid WordPress. See
A me-too of WordPress, yes, but if one digs a bit deeper into Microweber (the software) it has some impressive features built in from the ground up - I liked the WordPress multisite equivalent that has been built into the architecture of Microweber so a single install of the software can be made into a SaaS which can scale well at low cost, since VPS providers offer limited disk space in their entry level plans and Microweber multisite equivalent feature works well with that limitation because it takes very little extra disk space for the second account / website onwards. Truly the Microweber team has applied thought to the architecture - the database can be put on the cloud instead of it taking up disk space on the VPS (again this helps keep costs low) and the assets (images etc. of the websites) of Microweber users are all stored in a directory that can be mapped to object storage or block storage, which helps with scalability and also performance when these assets are served via a CDN. Like I said, the well thought out architecture permits this for those who wish to push Microweber beyond its me-too role.
For example, during the pandemic, I have used Virtualmin + Microweber / WordPress at a digital marketing training institute in which over five hundred students (or maybe more, I can’t remember exactly how many) learnt web design and created their first website on a low cost and low spec server and a Microweber / WordPress multisite system. They used Virtualmin to manage related services. It worked very well indeed.
And lastly, if an installer for Microweber could be made like the one that Virtualmin already offers for the TikiWiki project, it would be so great for people who wish to run a Wix-like biz. They will have everything needed for a turnkey business without the monthly charges of cPanel and Virtualmin benefits too by making money from the themes and modules that are sold by Microweber.
Wow. Microweber should hire me as biz development strategist. I am not even a Microweber affiliate and do not benefit financially in any way from all this that I have proposed. Just FYI.
