Use the visual theme editor to turn your HTML design into a content management system and collaborate on pages via drag and drop inline editing.

The novel Blocks Edit approach of an HTML-only content management system is here, now available for building and editing websites!

The one and only visual theme setup

The steps involved in going from HTML design to content management system have just been reduced by an order of magnitude! Just import your HTML and your placeholder content becomes instantly editable. Use the visual theme editor to enable components.

Users can then drag in components and edit content inline to build and update pages. With an easy to use interface that prevents deviating from the intended design. And publish as static HTML, directly to a hosted server via FTP or CDN. No need for special server software.

Collaborative website updates

Also included are collaboration features to help reduce going between various tools during the review process among teams. From team commenting, to an activity timeline, revisions history, a checklist, and user access options.

With built-in functionality that helps with accessibility and all the important details. Plus the ability to save content pieces to reuse later, custom form building, automated image formatting, and more!

And you can use it completely free, with a fully-featured plan to import and build.
