What a rented website can never do.

Wix, Squarespace and the rest rent you a place on their servers. That is a fair arrangement — until you want to leave, stop paying, or ask where your visitors' data goes. We sell you the finished site instead, and that one difference makes each of these possible.

  • Your site is a folder you keep.

    Rented

    The site lives on their servers. Stop paying and it goes; their export, where there is one, is not a site that runs anywhere else.

    Here

    You get the finished site as plain files. Put them on any hosting in the world, on a USB stick, or keep them on our hosting — your choice, every year.

    Check it yourselfDownload it, turn off Wi-Fi, and double-click index.html.

  • It keeps working if we disappear.

    Rented

    A builder that closes, changes its terms or raises its price takes your site with it.

    Here

    Nothing in your site links back to us: no script, typeface or picture loads from our servers. News and shop sites even carry their own editor, so posting and changing prices never needs us.

    Check it yourselfOpen any page's source: every file it asks for is in its own folder.

  • No cookie banner — nothing tracks your visitors.

    Rented

    A hosted builder runs its own scripts on your pages, and you cannot take them out.

    Here

    Your site ships no tracking and sets no cookies. Want Google Analytics? Type your ID and a consent bar in your visitor's own language — 34 of them — comes with it. Or choose Cloudflare's, which needs no bar at all.

    Check it yourselfOpen your site with the browser's developer tools: the cookie list is empty.

  • Light enough for a bad signal.

    Rented

    Every page carries the builder's own framework, whether your visitor needs it or not.

    Here

    A four-page site's pages and stylesheet together stay under 100 KB before photographs — a limit our tests enforce, so it cannot creep. Photographs go out as WebP, with a phone-sized copy for phones.

  • It opens with no signal, and sits on a phone like an app.

    Rented

    A rented page needs their servers every single time it opens.

    Here

    After one visit, visitors' phones keep the whole site — every page and photograph — so it opens instantly, in a basement or a lift, and sits on the home screen like an app. A premium extra, paid once.

  • Search and “nearest to me” that tell nobody anything.

    Rented

    Search boxes and branch finders usually send what a visitor typed, and where they are, to somebody else's server.

    Here

    Your site's search and its branch finder work out the answer on the visitor's own phone. No map service, no key, nothing sent.

    Check it yourselfWatch the network tab while you search: nothing leaves the page.

  • Every version you bought, kept.

    Rented

    The site is whatever it is today. Yesterday's version is gone.

    Here

    Each version you paid for is archived exactly as delivered and downloads again, free, byte for byte, for three years — and after that we rebuild it from the record we keep. A change after that is free while Care runs, or €29.

    Check it yourselfDownload the same order twice and compare the files: they are identical.

  • Written to be read — and changed by hand.

    Rented

    What a builder generates is not meant for human eyes, and it only opens in their editor.

    Here

    Plain HTML with sensible names and a note at the top of every file, one stylesheet with its settings listed first. Anyone who knows a little HTML can change it; you never have to.

    Check it yourselfOpen index.html in any text editor.

  • Accessible, and it says so in writing.

    Rented

    Whether a rented site works for people with a disability is between you and the builder's code.

    Here

    Every site ships an accessibility report, can publish its own accessibility statement — which many businesses serving EU customers now need — and offers visitors reading options.
