What it is

Build a real website — pages, blog, images, forms of data — by writing Markdown, and publish it on your own domain. Behind the simple editor is a full set of components and services that would normally take a stack of WordPress plugins: galleries, data tables, fixtures and results, an AI writing assistant, review links, SEO and analytics.

What you can do

  • Write pages and blog posts in Markdown with a live preview, autosave, page history and a trash.
  • Drop in components with a simple ::: block: hero banners, stat tiles, card grids, galleries with lightbox, accordions, searchable tables, embedded video, charts, latest-posts lists, calls to action.
  • Show live data: upload a spreadsheet or point at a URL, and render fixtures, results, league tables or any table that refreshes itself on a schedule.
  • Upload images and files to a media library with folders, alt text and automatic thumbnails.
  • Choose a look from style presets, fonts, accent colours, header and layout options, and preview changes live on the real site.
  • Ask the AI assistant to draft or rewrite a page, generate a data table, or run scheduled content tasks, using your own Claude API key.
  • Share review links with a client or committee; they can leave anchored comments on any page, and you manage the feedback in one place.
  • Invite collaborators as editors or viewers.
  • SEO and AI-readability are built in: descriptions, social images, canonical links, structured data, a sitemap, robots rules, an llms.txt index and a Markdown twin of every page.
  • Visitor analytics without cookies: visitors, pages, sources, countries and cities, devices, time on page.
  • Serve the site on your own domain, or use the built-in address.
  • Back up the whole site as one zip of Markdown, images and settings at any time.

Who it's for

Clubs, leagues, charities, small businesses and anyone who wants a proper website they can edit themselves without a monthly plan, plugin updates or a designer on call.
