Fastest Mac website builder, native canvas feels great.
SEO assistant catches things you always forget.
iPad workflow takes a bit of getting used to.
Shipped a client landing page in an hour.
AI-synthesized perspectives grounded in live site inspection, pricing structure, and category benchmarks — presented as editorial viewpoints rather than individual customer testimonials.
Place, resize and align any element freely on an infinite canvas with smart guides, so your layout looks custom rather than template-bound.
Run a Website Assistant that flags accessibility, SEO and quality issues, links each suggestion to the exact page element, and helps you fix them before publishing.
On iPad, sketch with Apple Pencil or your finger in Wireframe Mode and have Sitely turn strokes into real webpage elements on the canvas.
Preview your site at phone, tablet and desktop widths with a tap, and use more than 1,600 built-in fonts with full typographic controls.
Create multi-page sites, duplicate layouts, group pages and rearrange your site structure with drag-and-drop while the Layers panel keeps everything organized.
The app is a native Mac and iPad application rather than a browser tool, which is why it feels fast and fluid: you edit directly on the canvas and every change renders instantly. A Layers panel keeps even complex, element-heavy designs organized, and a tap switches between phone, tablet and desktop previews so you know exactly how visitors will see the page. On iPad, Wireframe Mode turns Apple Pencil sketches into real webpage elements with no separate conversion step.
Publishing is just as direct. Sitely produces lightweight, quick-loading pages and includes an Assistant that hunts down accessibility and search-visibility issues before you go live, pointing you to the exact element to fix. You can build multi-page business sites, portfolios or landing pages, keep projects in iCloud and move between Mac and iPad mid-project. Because it is a local design app, you publish to the hosting provider of your choice rather than being locked into a proprietary platform.
Sitely is suited to freelancers, small businesses and designers who want real design freedom without hand-coding, and who prefer a one-time purchase over a subscription. It is less suited to teams that need a fully hosted, collaborative, browser-only CMS.
A photographer or consultant assembles a multi-page portfolio freestyle on the canvas, uses typography controls to match a personal brand, and publishes a fast, accessible site.
A small business creates a marketing site with contact forms and pages, then uses the Assistant to resolve SEO and accessibility issues before going live.
An iPad user sketches a layout with Apple Pencil in Wireframe Mode and lets Sitely turn the sketch into real webpage elements, then refines it on the Mac.
