Drag, drop, publish.

Build pages from sections, columns and elements, and see them on every screen size as you go. No code, and no theme files to edit.

The Webfaze page builder: the page structure on the left, the photographer's home page in the middle with its heading selected, and typography settings on the right.

Every screen size

Set sizes and spacing for desktop, tablet and phone separately, and preview each one before you publish.

Your colours and fonts

One Design screen sets colours, type, corners and width for the whole site, so every page matches.

Templates you reuse

Save a section or a page as a template and use it again, with undo and redo while you work.

Pay once. Own it.

Hosted website builders rent you a website by the month. Webfaze is software you buy once and run on hosting you choose, so your site and your customers’ data stay with you.

Three steps to your own site.

Webfaze is an app you install, like any software you download. Most setups take about five minutes once you have hosting.

  1. Buy a licence

    Pay once on webfaze.com. Your licence key and the download appear in your account straight away.

  2. Install it on your hosting

    Upload Webfaze to your hosting or server and open the setup link. The install guide covers Hostinger, cPanel, a VPS and Docker.

  3. Build your site

    Choose colours and fonts, drag in sections, switch on the extensions you need and publish.

Reviewed and signed

Every version is checked automatically, read by a person and signed by Webfaze before it reaches a site.

Run in a sandbox

An extension gets no files, no processes and only the network addresses it asked for.

Switched off if pulled

A version Webfaze pulls is turned off on every site at its next check.

Questions, answered.

Still wondering? Read the help articles or contact us.

What exactly do I buy?

A licence for Webfaze, which is downloadable software. You pay once, download it from your account straight away and install it on your own hosting. Webfaze does not host your site.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You build pages by dragging sections and elements, write posts in the editor and set colours and fonts on one Design screen. Installing it takes a few steps in your hosting panel, and the install guide walks you through them.

What hosting do I need?

Hosting that runs Node.js apps: for example Hostinger’s Business or Cloud plans, cPanel with Setup Node.js App, a VPS or Docker. Webfaze needs Node.js 22.15 or newer, and MySQL, MariaDB or SQLite. See the install guide.

Is there a monthly fee?

Not for Webfaze. The licence is a one-time payment and does not expire, and the six official extensions are free with it. You pay your hosting company for hosting, as you would for any website. Some extensions from independent developers are paid, once or by subscription.

How do updates work?

From Tools in the Console. Webfaze checks the release signature, saves a backup first and keeps the previous version, so you can go back.

Can I move my site to another server?

Yes. On the same domain, install Webfaze on the new server and enter your key again, as often as you need. A licence stays with the website (domain) it was first activated on, so a different domain needs another licence.

Do test and staging sites use up my licence?

No. Sites on localhost, *.test, *.local, staging.* or dev.* addresses don’t use a seat, up to 3 per licence.

Your website. Your terms.

Buy a licence once, install Webfaze on your own hosting and build the site your business deserves.
