Who Is This For?

💡 The short answer: VoxelSite is a self-hosted AI website builder. Install it, describe what you want, get a real content website. The output is framework-independent PHP files you own. Not a hosted platform. Not a SaaS. Not a multi-user system.

This page explains who VoxelSite is for, how different people use it, and what to expect.

The Use Cases

1. Small Business Owner

You need a website but don't want to learn WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace.

You run a restaurant, salon, consulting firm, or local service business. You want a professional website without hiring a designer or learning a page builder.

How it works:

• Install VoxelSite on your hosting
• Describe your business in plain language
• VoxelSite generates a complete website — pages, navigation, contact forms, SEO
• Edit anything by clicking on it in the visual editor, or ask the AI to change it

What you get: Framework-independent PHP files. No proprietary formats. Delete _studio/ from your server and the published site keeps running.

License needed: Regular ($29)

2. Freelancer / Web Developer

You build websites for clients and want to move faster.

You're a freelancer, developer, or digital marketer who builds websites for clients. VoxelSite lets you go from client brief to a working content site in minutes instead of days.

How it works:

• Purchase a Regular license for each client project
• Install on the client's hosting (or hosting you manage)
• Describe the client's business and generate the initial site
• Refine with the visual editor or AI chat
• Hand over the files — the client doesn't need VoxelSite to run their site

Monetization: Charge your client for the website as you normally would. VoxelSite generates a production-ready site; you refine and deliver. Typical rates: $500–5,000+ depending on scope and customization.

Why this works: The generated websites are standard PHP/HTML/CSS files. You can customize them with any code editor. Your clients never need to know how the site was built.

License needed: One Regular license ($29) per end product

3. Developer Who Wants a Head Start

You know how to code but don't want to start from scratch every time.

You're comfortable with HTML, CSS, and PHP. You could build from scratch, but you'd rather start with a solid foundation and build on it.

How it works:

• Use VoxelSite to generate the initial structure and content
• Open the generated files in your editor of choice
• Customize, extend, and build on top of the clean output
• Use the visual editor for quick tweaks, code editor for everything else

Why this works: VoxelSite generates clean, readable code with Tailwind CSS. No framework lock-in. No proprietary components. Just files you can work with.

License needed: Regular ($29)

4. Non-Technical Person Who Just Wants a Website

You have no technical skills and just want something that works.

You're not a developer. You're not a designer. You tried WordPress and got lost. You tried Wix and it felt limiting. You just want to describe what you need and get a website.

How it works:

• Have someone install VoxelSite on your hosting (or follow the simple installation guide)
• Open VoxelSite Studio and describe what you want in plain language
• The AI builds your website while you watch
• Click on anything to edit it. Don't like something? Just tell the AI what to change.

What to know: You still need web hosting with PHP support. If "PHP" and "hosting" sound unfamiliar, have a friend or freelancer handle the initial setup. Once installed, you just type what you want.

License needed: Regular ($29)

What VoxelSite Is Not

Clear boundaries so you can make an informed purchase decision.

Not a Hosted Platform

VoxelSite is software you install on your own server. There's no hosted version where you sign up and start building. You need hosting.

Not a Multi-User System

VoxelSite has one admin account. There's no team collaboration, no client logins, no user roles. One person manages the site through VoxelSite Studio.

Not a WordPress Replacement

VoxelSite doesn't have a plugin ecosystem, a theme marketplace, thousands of third-party extensions, or 20 years of community development. It's a focused tool that does one thing well: generating content websites from descriptions.

Not a Website Hosting Service

We don't host your website. You bring your own hosting. VoxelSite generates the files; you control where they live.

Not a Venture-Funded Company

Small, independent team. No hundreds of engineers. No dedicated support department. No millions in funding. We can't ship dozens of features every month, and we don't try to. What we do: build a reliable product, fix bugs, treat customers with respect.

If you need rapid feature development, dozens of integrations, and enterprise support with guaranteed response times, you need a managed platform with enterprise pricing. Valid choice. Different product category, different price point.

See Feature Requests & Pricing for our economics and priorities.

What You're Actually Buying

When you purchase VoxelSite, you get:

This is a content website generator, not a managed platform or a full-featured CMS.

Frequently Asked Questions

"Can I use VoxelSite to build websites for clients?"

Yes. Purchase a Regular license for each client project. Generate the website, customize it, and deliver the files. The client doesn't need VoxelSite installed to run their website — the output is standard HTML/CSS/PHP.

"Can multiple people edit the same site?"

VoxelSite has a single admin account. If you need multiple people to edit content, you'll need to share the login credentials. There's no role-based access or concurrent editing.

"Do I need to pay for AI separately?"

Yes. VoxelSite uses external AI providers (Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek). You bring your own API key. AI costs depend on your provider and usage, but are typically very low — a few cents per page generation.

"What happens if I stop using VoxelSite?"

Nothing. VoxelSite generates framework-independent PHP files. Delete _studio/ from your server and the published site keeps running. Zero dependency on VoxelSite. No lock-in.

"Is this product right for me?"

Yes, if you:

• Need a website and want to describe it instead of designing it
• Want to own your files with no platform lock-in
• Are comfortable with (or willing to learn) basic web hosting
• Appreciate a focused tool that does one thing well

Probably not, if you:

• Need a hosted platform you can sign up for without managing a server
• Require multi-user collaboration and team features
• Want a complete CMS with blogging, e-commerce, and plugins
• Expect dozens of new features and integrations every month
• Expect enterprise-level support with guaranteed response times
• Plan to evaluate the product based on what it doesn't do, rather than what it does
