1C-Bitrix: Site Management. Start License
Start is the workhorse 1C-Bitrix edition for company websites: sections, content, forms, and SEO without a commerce stack. Pick it when First Site feels tight but you still do not need a shop. RunetLab issues new licenses, renewals, or upgrades and helps you launch.
Who should pick Start
Start covers a classic company site: services, case studies, blog, careers, contacts, and campaign landings. It is not a checkbox CMS — it is a full Site Manager edition for projects where content and lead forms matter more than a cart.
Typical buyers include agencies, clinics, manufacturers without an online storefront, and B2B services with long sales cycles. The site must look solid, stay editable by staff, and remain on official Bitrix updates for years.
First Site vs Start vs Standard
First Site — one light project with a low functional ceiling.
Start — comfortable default for most non-commerce corporate sites.
Standard — large structures, heavy media flow, richer module needs.
Small Business / Business — appear when catalog, checkout, and payments are required.
Torn between Start and Standard? Describe section count, publishing cadence, and extra modules — RunetLab will size the edition without overspend.
Typical configuration on Start
Multi-page information architecture with menus, news and articles, galleries, lead forms, basic SEO fields and SEF URLs, editor roles, analytics, and CRM hooks via forms or webhooks. Marketplace industry solutions can be attached within edition limits.
A full catalog plus cart plus payment flow is not Start’s target job — choose Small Business or another commerce-ready stack instead.
Buying Start now vs upgrading later
If the brief already exceeds First Site, buying Start upfront usually costs less than a junior license plus a quarterly upgrade. On this SKU RunetLab offers a new license, renewal, and upgrade from First Site.
Example: a company opens four branches and needs one site with regional pages plus an expert blog — Start covers that without commerce modules.
Delivery and hosting notes
We install on hosting or a VPS, activate the key, harden the environment, connect a template or design, and build the section tree with lead forms. On request we migrate from WordPress or Tilda, set redirects, and tune performance basics.
Agree PHP and database requirements and a backup policy early: Start sites live long, and cut-rate hosting without an SLA often erases license savings.
RunetLab — license plus delivery
RunetLab sells and implements: Start licensing, install, customization, SEO skeleton, and Bitrix24 or 1C links where they make sense without a store. Share industry and site scope — we propose the edition and a turnkey plan.
