Workspaces are here: organize projects by client or team

Why Workspaces matter

As multiple people contribute to a site ecosystem (design, content, product, marketing), structure matters. Workspaces help establish clear boundaries around:

• Ownership: who is responsible for what (client, product, department)

• Access & collaboration: who can view or edit which projects

• Publishing context: what is production vs what is experimental

• Asset and content scope: what content belongs to which site ecosystem

• Operational clarity: where work happens, and where it should not happen

This is the foundation for scaling from a few pages to a real website platform with multiple sites, teams, and publishing cycles.

Workspaces are here: organize projects by client, team, or company

Managing multiple websites usually becomes messy for one simple reason: projects aren’t grouped in a meaningful way. If you build sites for clients, run multiple brands, or manage several internal initiatives, a single flat project list quickly becomes hard to navigate—and even harder to maintain.

That’s why we introduced Workspaces in The Obvious Builder. Workspaces give you a simple, structured way to organize projects by context—so your dashboard stays clean, your workflow stays fast, and your product environment remains easy to scale.

What is a Workspace in The Obvious Builder?

A Workspace is a container that groups related projects together. Think of it as a top-level organizational layer above projects.

You can use Workspaces to separate:

• Client projects (agency or freelance workflow)

• Company websites (startup teams and internal organizations)

• Personal vs professional work

• Multiple brands or products

• Departments (Marketing, Product, Docs, Careers)

Each Workspace becomes a dedicated environment where your projects and work context remain consistent and predictable.

Why Workspaces matter for modern website building

The Obvious Builder is designed for more than one-off landing pages. It’s built for production workflows: multi-page websites, reusable design systems, templates, CMS content, and long-term iteration. Workspaces make this scalable by solving three common issues:

1) Keep projects organized as you grow

When you ship multiple websites, organization becomes a real product feature. Workspaces reduce the daily friction of:

• searching for the right project

• switching between contexts

• maintaining multiple sites over time

2) Make collaboration more structured

As multiple people contribute to a site ecosystem (design, content, product, marketing), structure matters. Workspaces make collaboration clearer by separating:

• work areas (where teams operate)

• project scope (what belongs together)

• responsibility boundaries (who owns outcomes)

• publishing context (production vs experiments)

This reduces confusion and prevents accidental edits across unrelated sites.

3) Enable cleaner workflows across clients and teams

Even without a large team, real workflows still require structure:

• this client’s site

• this product’s docs

• this marketing experiment

• this template library

Workspaces give you that separation without adding unnecessary complexity.

How to use Workspaces

Workspaces are intentionally simple to adopt. Most users start with one of these proven patterns:

Option A — Agencies & freelancers: one Workspace per client

If you build sites for clients, create a Workspace per client or account:

• Workspace: Studio K — Client A

• Workspace: Studio K — Client B

• Workspace: Studio K — Internal

Each workspace can contain projects like landing pages, campaign microsites, documentation, staging, or multiple versions of the same site.

Option B — Startups: one Workspace per product or brand

If you’re building multiple products or brand surfaces:

• Workspace: Main marketing site

• Workspace: Product docs

• Workspace: Careers website

• Workspace: New launch

This keeps navigation, ownership, and publishing cycles clear—especially when the website becomes a living system with frequent updates.

Option C — Teams: one Workspace per department

If multiple groups publish content:

• Workspace: Marketing

• Workspace: Product

• Workspace: Internal tools

• Workspace: Events / Campaigns

This helps keep assets and publishing workflows separated and predictable.

How Workspaces fit with The Obvious Builder features

Workspaces are not just folders. They’re part of an architecture designed for modern website production. They work naturally alongside:

Templates and reusable blocks

Start from expert-built foundations, then tailor each workspace’s projects. This enables a consistent system across multiple sites while keeping projects cleanly separated.

CMS and dynamic pages

As content grows (updates, blog posts, docs, resources), Workspaces prevent content-heavy projects from mixing with marketing experiments or short-lived campaigns.

Publishing and public SEO pages

The Obvious Builder produces public pages optimized for discovery. Workspaces help you manage multiple public surfaces without mixing contexts, ownership, or intent.

Media library and shared assets

In real workflows, assets need to remain discoverable and reusable. Workspaces help you keep projects organized so teams don’t lose time chasing files or re-uploading the same resources.

Best practices for structuring Workspaces

If you want a structure that scales, these simple rules work well:

1. Use Workspaces for ownership, not “topics.” A workspace should represent a real boundary: client, company, product, or department.

2. Name Workspaces clearly. Use names that make sense in navigation, such as:

   • Acme — Marketing

   • Studio K — Client Projects

   • Obvious — Docs

3. Keep one Workspace for experiments. Teams ship faster when experimental projects are separated from production websites.

4. Combine Workspaces with templates for consistent delivery. If you build multiple sites with a shared design language, templates and reusable blocks become the engine that scales your workflow.

What’s next

Workspaces are foundational. They enable a more professional ecosystem as The Obvious Builder expands:

• cleaner collaboration flows

• stronger organization across projects

• more reliable scaling for agencies and teams

• clearer separation between public marketing pages and in-app building workflows

If you manage more than one site, Workspaces should immediately make your dashboard feel more intentional—and your building workflow more production-ready.

Try it now

If you’re building multiple projects, the best way to start is straightforward:

1. Create a Workspace for your current context (client, product, or company).

2. Move or create projects inside it.

3. Keep your dashboard structured as you publish and iterate.

Workspaces are now available in The Obvious Builder.
