Websites on EmDash, built and hosted for one monthly fee
We design new business websites on EmDash, run them on Cloudflare’s network and keep them updated afterwards. The build, hosting and core updates sit on one plan, and the person who builds your site is the one who answers when you need a change.

The platform
What EmDash is
EmDash is an open-source content system that Cloudflare released in April 2026 and took to version 1.0 in September. It does the job WordPress does for a business site on a different foundation: it runs on Cloudflare’s network, and every plugin is fenced into its own sandbox.
Plugins only touch what they declare
A plugin has to say up front what it needs, such as sending email, and it can’t reach anything else on the site.
Edits show on the next visit
Pages are cached at the Cloudflare data centre closest to each visitor. Saving a change clears that cache, so nobody purges anything by hand.
Open source, so it isn’t locked to us
We host EmDash sites on Cloudflare, and the code can also run on other hosting.

The process
From first call to launch
- 01
A free call about your site
We go over what the site has to do and tell you whether EmDash fits. If it needs to sell products, it doesn’t, and we say so.
- 02
Built where you can watch
The site comes together at a preview address. You see it in stages and send feedback as it goes.
- 03
Launch, then upkeep
We test on real devices and move your domain. After that, core updates, uptime checks and your monthly revision hours are on us.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is EmDash ready for a business website?
It reached version 1.0 in September 2026, and our own site plus two others run on it every day. The one gap that matters for most businesses is online stores, which stay on WordPress.
What about plugins?
Forms, search titles and descriptions, and redirects are part of how we set up every site. Anything more specific gets built into the site itself or added as a plugin that runs in its own sandbox.
How is my site backed up?
The content can be restored to any minute in the last 30 days, and the site’s code is kept in version control, so a bad change can be undone.
Can I edit the site myself?
Yes. Log in to the admin, or click Edit on any page while you’re signed in.
Who owns the site, and what happens if I leave?
You own the site and the domain. If you leave, we hand over your content and help move the DNS.
Is there a contract?
No. Plans start at $49 a month, and you can cancel anytime.
