Simplicity and power for all. Enabling anyone of any ability to create and update their website in real time, through voice, text and images, to find out who is visiting, which content is popular, and also manage powerful features like changing passwords and setting permissions.
What makes it different
Just files
Your whole site is Markdown plus a couple of config files - own it, move it, keep it in git. Nothing is locked inside a database server: even the optional data tables are one SQLite file inside the site.
How authoring works →
No build, no database server
Drop a .md file in and it is live; plain cached HTML is served after that. Fast by default, with nothing to rebuild or migrate.
How that works →
Tiny and low-cost
A page processor and a few Perl modules from your distribution. It runs on almost anything - even your own PC - and costs very little to host.
Install in minutes →
Dynamic when you need it
Templating, remote data, JSON, feeds, forms, sign-in and pay-per-read are built in. Data tables and an Odoo extension ship with the engine, ready to switch on.
Every feature →
Built for AI
An assistant publishes through exactly the same rules you do. Grant a scoped account, watch the audit log, revoke any time.
Onboard an AI agent →
Design, separately
A layout owns the HTML; a theme supplies colours and fonts as tokens. A broad range of one-click, ready-made themes covers personal, business, editorial and dashboard styles.

Powerful features
Own your data
SovereigntyYour entire site is plain files on infrastructure you choose - no platform lock-in, no terms that change under you, nothing held hostage. Export it, move it, self-host it: it is yours, permanently.
A living website
Always currentKeep it up to date just by talking to it - add articles on the fly by voice or chat, run live blogs as events unfold, and update any information in seconds. No dashboard and no deploy cycle; the site changes as fast as you can describe the change.
Hand others the keys
No tech skills neededLet contributors, colleagues or clients maintain their own pages without learning any tools. They describe what they want and an AI agent makes the change - within the exact permissions you grant. You stay in control; they stay productive.
Built to be found
SEO & AI searchEvery page is served as fast, pre-rendered semantic HTML - no JavaScript needed to read it - so search engines and AI crawlers can index the full content on the first visit. lazysite writes per-page metadata, and generates a sitemap.xml, Atom and RSS feeds and an llms.txt manifest from the pages that register for them, so AI assistants and answer engines can discover, understand and cite your pages. Clean Markdown in, clean indexable HTML out.
Many sites, many languages
Multi-site & multilingualRun many first-class domains on one install - each with its own content, settings and look, managed from one place. Add sibling language sites the engine understands: a ready-made language switcher, correct hreflang for search engines, and a report of what still needs translating.
Every change on the record
Version historySwitch on content history and every save is recorded as a version, whether a person or an AI agent made it. See what changed, compare revisions, and restore any page in one step.
Your data on your pages
Data tables & OdooDeclare a table in one small file and list its rows on a page - products, events, a directory - with forms and agents adding rows through the same rules. The rows live in one SQLite file inside the site. See data tables. If your business runs on Odoo, the Odoo extension lets pages, forms and agents run named Odoo operations through a connection user whose rights are set in Odoo. Both are extensions you switch on.
Is lazysite for you?
- publish content, documentation or a portfolio and want it fast and fully yours
- want an AI agent to draft and publish for you
- are a marketer or designer moving quickly, or a small team or club sharing information
- would rather own plain files than run a database server
- depend on a particular plugin or a mature e-commerce store
- have a non-technical team that needs a polished click-and-drag admin
In that case, compare lazysite with WordPress, Hugo or Ghost first, or read who it is for.
