File Output & Ownership.
Understand the files VoxelSite generates. Standard HTML/CSS/PHP that you fully own. No lock-in.
File Output & Ownership
VoxelSite generates standard web files. You own them completely. Here's exactly what you get.
The generated files
When VoxelSite builds your website, it creates:
Pages
Each page is a PHP file at the root of your site:
index.php— your homepageabout.php— about pagecontact.php— contact page- Any other pages you request
Each page is a complete, self-contained file that uses PHP include to share common elements (header, navigation, footer).
Shared partials
Files in _partials/ are shared across all pages:
header.php— the<head>section with meta tags, font loading, stylesheet links, and opening body wrappernav.php— the full navigation bar with responsive mobile menufooter.php— footer content, JavaScript includes, and closing tagsschema.php— SEO structured data (Schema.org JSON-LD)
Stylesheets
Two CSS files in assets/css/:
style.css— your design tokens (colors, fonts, spacing, shadows) as CSS custom properties, plus custom keyframes and overridestailwind.css— compiled Tailwind utility classes used in your HTML
JavaScript
Standard vanilla JavaScript files in assets/js/:
main.js— scroll animations, sticky header, interactive behaviornavigation.js— mobile menu toggleform-handler.js— client-side form validation and submission
No JavaScript frameworks. No build tools. No npm dependencies.
Structured data
JSON files in assets/data/ that describe your business:
site.json— core site infomemory.json— accumulated business facts- Additional files for menus, services, team members, etc.
SEO files
Generated automatically on publish:
sitemap.xml— for search enginesrobots.txt— crawler rulesllms.txt— AI discovery mapmcp.php— MCP server endpoint
Form handler
submit.php at the root handles all form submissions. It reads form schemas from assets/forms/ and stores submissions in _data/submissions.db.
What happens if you uninstall VoxelSite?
Delete the _studio/ directory. Your website keeps running. The generated PHP pages, CSS, JavaScript, images, and form handler are completely independent of VoxelSite.
The only things you lose are:
- The Studio admin panel
- AI editing capability
- The visual editor
- The undo system and snapshots
Your live website is unaffected.
Download your site
You can download your entire published site as a ZIP at any time — either as PHP source files or pre-rendered static HTML. Click Download in the Studio status bar to choose a format. See Download & Export for details.
Can I edit the files manually?
Yes. Every file is standard HTML, CSS, PHP, or JavaScript. You can edit them using VoxelSite's built-in code editor (Studio → Editor), download them and open in VS Code, or edit directly on your server. The next time you use VoxelSite to edit (via AI, visual editor, or code editor), it reads the current state of your files — including any manual edits you've made.
No proprietary formats
There is no VoxelSite-specific format, no binary database of page content, and no runtime dependency. Your website is just files on disk. If you decide to move to a different CMS or hire a developer to customize further, they'll find clean, readable web code.
