Why I Keep Building CRM Templates (Even Though They’re “Boring”)

#webdev #ai #programming #javascript

Hey there,

I’ve been asked this a few times:

“Why do you keep making CRM templates?”

And honestly, the answer is pretty simple:

Because the market desperately needs them.

The Truth Nobody Talks About

Let’s be real for a second.

CRM systems are not exciting.

They don’t go viral.\
They don’t look flashy on Twitter.\
And they definitely don’t give you that “wow” feeling like a new AI tool does.

But they matter.

A lot.

Because behind every growing business, there’s usually a messy backend that needs structure.

Why Building a CRM From Scratch Is Painful

If you’ve ever tried building a CRM, you already know:

  • It’s not beginner-friendly
  • It requires deep domain understanding
  • You deal with business-critical data
  • You need complex API + database integrations

And suddenly, what looked like “just a dashboard” becomes:

a full-blown system that runs an entire company.

That’s heavy.

So I Decided to Simplify It

Instead of letting every developer or business struggle through this from scratch…

I started building CRM templates.

Not just UI kits—but real, usable systems:

  • Frontend templates (React + Tailwind)
  • Full-stack-ready structures
  • Pre-built forms, widgets, and flows

The goal?

Help people skip the boring, repetitive setup—and focus on building their actual business.

Why CRM (and Admin Templates) Are Always in Demand

There’s a category I like to call:

The “Admin Layer” of the Internet

This includes:

  • CRM (Customer Management)
  • CMS (Content Management)
  • Documentation systems

And here’s the thing:

Every business needs this.

  • Startups
  • Freelancers
  • SMEs & MSMEs
  • Enterprises

Everyone eventually reaches a point where they need to:

  • Manage users
  • Track sales
  • Organize data
  • Monitor performance

In short:

Run their business from a single source of truth

A Real Example: My Own Workflow

I run a platform called ihatereading.in, where I publish software content.

Behind the scenes, everything runs through an internal admin panel:

  • Writing and managing blogs
  • Sending emails
  • Tracking performance
  • Planning content

This system helps me:

  • Improve SEO
  • Increase domain rating
  • Scale content production

Today, the platform serves 15K+ monthly users worldwide.

And without a proper admin system?

That would be chaos.

That’s When It Clicked

I realized:

If I need this… every growing business probably does too.

That’s what pushed me to go deeper into building:

  • CRM templates
  • CMS systems
  • Documentation dashboards

What I Built

I created a dedicated collection:

👉 gettemplate.website

It includes:

  • 100+ React + Tailwind templates
  • 100+ forms
  • 100+ reusable widgets

All designed to help you:

Go from idea → working system in hours, not weeks.

Some CRM Templates You Can Explore

Here are a few I’ve built:

Final Thought

CRM templates might seem boring.

But they solve a very real problem:

Turning chaos into structure.

And in business, that’s everything.
