We built the CMS we wished existed when we were running our own small businesses.
WordSafe exists because "just use WordPress" stopped being a real answer for small business owners a long time ago.
Small business is not a "content problem." It's a plumbing problem.
The problem
WordPress powers 40% of the web because it's free — but the moment you launch a real business site you're stitching together 30-plus plugins from as many vendors, each with its own update cycle, its own subscription, and its own way of breaking the others.
For solopreneurs and small teams, that plugin stack is the actual product. And it's a bad one.
Our answer
Bring every essential — hosting, editor, media, SEO, forms, backups, security — into one open-source core. Ship it under MIT. Give small businesses the boring, reliable website tool they deserve.
We're not chasing bloggers, publishers, or Fortune 500 marketing teams. We built this for the coffee shop, the plumber, the yoga studio, and the two-person agency serving them.
Four principles.
Every feature decision starts with: does this help a 10-person business ship faster?
MIT license, public roadmap, contributions welcome. No enterprise-only tier hiding the good stuff.
Templates, integrations, and translations come from the community. Bounties reward the best.
No hype cycles. No breaking rewrites. Boring software wins for small business.
Help shape the roadmap.
