Quick Setup (< 1 hour)

You can use Silex to design and publish static websites using a drag-and-drop visual editor, without writing code. It connects to CMS tools like WordPress, Strapi, and Supabase so clients can edit content. You can self-host it, use the hosted version for free, or integrate it with your own API. It generates clean HTML and CSS output, supports SEO-optimized and accessible sites, and works well for freelancers, agencies, and web designers building multiple client sites.
