Why I Keep Building CRM Templates

Even Though They’re “Boring”

Shrey Vijayvargiya

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.

Final Thought

CRM templates might seem boring.

But they solve a very real problem:

Turning chaos into structure.

And in business, that’s everything.
