A new way to make a website

Flow state, not templates.

Every page starts with an anchor: the piece the story turns on. A photo, a video, a product, your words. Everything else orbits it at its real shape, and the targets show you where it all lines up. Less pixel-pushing, more storytelling.

The Orbital Targeting System

Your way, every way.

The anchor is the unlock. Choose the piece your story turns on, and everything else is placed in relation to it: how near, at what angle, how large. That relationship is the story, not a pile of pixel coordinates. As a piece moves, the targets light up wherever it lines up with, and sits in proportion to, what's already there. Wide, tall, square, tiny or enormous, every shape finds its place. Take a target or ignore it. It's very hard to make ugly.

Who's driving is up to you
By hand

Fully manual.

Drag a photo and the targets appear. Every image, word and relationship is placed by you, and the result is entirely yours.

With BuildBuddy

A guide on board.

BuildBuddy knows every corner of the composer and can see how your site is set up. Ask for a quick answer or a walk through the whole thing, any hour. As much help as you like, or as little.

With your AI

A first pass, handed back.

Connect Claude or ChatGPT to your account. It groups your photos, writes the words and composes on the same orbits, then hands the site back to you to refine by eye.

AI can build the site. It doesn't own the design.
Instant Mobile

White walls, good light.

When an artist lands a show, the gallery gives them clean walls and good lighting, and stays out of the way. The work does the talking. Gallery Composer is built the same way: you choose what hangs where, and that's the design.

Instant Mobile.

Hang your galleries once and the phone version develops itself, like a snapshot from an instant camera: picture, words, button, in the order you meant. No settings, no second site, and it comes out right every time.

Nobody hates mobile. Everybody hates building three websites.

Payments, by Stripe

Get paid in your own Stripe account.

Put a price on any piece and Buy appears right beside it. Checkout is Stripe's own, the one buyers already trust, and the money lands in your Stripe account, not ours. Sign in to stripe.com any time to see every sale, refund and payout for yourself.

Yours, start to finish

Set it up from the Sell tab in a few minutes. It's a full Stripe account in your name, and it stays yours if you ever leave.

Shipping your way
