Deploy Instatic in 60 Seconds
The open-source visual CMS. Build sites in a drag-and-drop editor and publish clean, fast, semantic HTML - on your own server, from $7/mo, with no per-site or per-seat fees.
What is Instatic?
Instatic is an open-source visual CMS - a drag-and-drop editor, a content engine, and a publisher in one. You design pages visually, model structured content in collections, and Instatic outputs clean, fast, semantic HTML and CSS. It is a self-hosted alternative to Webflow, WordPress, and Contentful.
It runs as a single Bun process with an embedded SQLite database - no external database, no worker fleet, nothing to wire up. Webflow charges roughly $23-39/mo per site plus per-seat workspace fees. Self-hosting Instatic on InstaPods is a flat $7/mo - unlimited sites, unlimited editors, and your content never leaves your server.
Why Instatic on InstaPods?
Drag-and-Drop Editor
Design pages visually with a real layout canvas - no code required, no theme wrestling. What you build is what you publish.
Clean Semantic Output
Instatic publishes lean, fast HTML and CSS - no bloated page builder markup. Great Core Web Vitals out of the box.
Built-in Content Engine
Model structured content in collections - blog posts, case studies, docs - and reuse it across pages. A full CMS, not just a page builder.
Bring-Your-Own-Key AI
Add your own OpenAI or Anthropic key to draft and edit content with AI. Your key is encrypted at rest with a per-pod key generated on first boot.
Self-Hosted Privacy
Content, uploads, and settings live in an embedded SQLite database on your own pod. No external service, no data mining, daily backups included.
No Per-Site or Per-Seat Fees
Build as many sites as your pod can hold and invite your whole team. One flat plan - no metered seats, no per-site upcharge.
