October 2026
  1. Feature

    Write and edit Arabic pages in the same editor

    The page editor now has an English | العربية switch. Open an Arabic variant and the canvas switches to right-to-left, showing your site's Arabic header, navigation and footer, so you see the page the way Arabic readers will see it.

  2. Feature

    Translated posts show their own series, author and tag labels

    Write a translated series title and description, a translated author name and bio, and a tag label for each language. Related-post cards on a translated page link to the translated post under your theme's own route, and show its translated title and tag label. Editors open on the language your site publishes in.

  3. Feature

    Your site's real menu appears on the Navigation page, ready to customize

    Sites on bespoke themes now show their real header and footer menus on the Navigation page, with each label in English and Arabic, ready for you to edit. A site without a custom menu lists the links your visitors actually see, each marked Automatic. Click Customize menu to turn them into a menu you edit yourself. Before, the page said there were no navigation menus, even when the site already had a full one.

  4. Feature

    Translated posts carry full structured data in their own language

    A translated post now publishes its complete structured data (BlogPosting, BreadcrumbList, WebPage, Person and Speakable) in the language of that translation, instead of an empty structured-data block. Search engines and AI answer engines read each language version as its own page.

  5. Performance

    Post pages send readers about 95 KB less code

    Post pages no longer send a validation library of roughly 95 KB (gzipped) to every reader's browser, so each reader downloads less code.

  6. Feature

    Members-only files on paid posts

    Attach PDFs, audio and video to a members or paid post from the editor's Members-only files panel. The files are stored privately and open only for readers who can read that post, through short-lived links. Images stay public. Documents can be up to 10 MB, audio and video up to 500 MB.

  7. Feature

    Readers can report content

    Every site now shows a small Report link, and product reviews and questions each carry one too. It opens a report form that goes to the VeloCMS safety team, who review reports under the UK Online Safety Act.

  8. Feature

    Edit a published post without unpublishing it

    Published, scheduled and in-review posts now have an Update button that saves your edits and keeps the post where it is. A scheduled post keeps its date and time, and Save Draft stays available when you do want to pull it back.

  9. Feature

    Import from Blogger

    Bring your Blogger posts over with their original dates. Images are copied to your own media storage, and the first image in each post becomes its featured image.

  10. Feature

    Move a Shopify store from the Import hub

    One wizard brings across your posts, products, collections, policy pages and 301 redirects, so a Shopify store can move to VeloCMS without rebuilding it by hand.

  11. Feature

    Import shows what came across

    After an import during setup you see the counts of posts, products and pages that arrived, any warnings, and a link to review your drafts.

  12. Commerce

    Attach the download file to a digital product

    A drop zone with upload progress lets you attach the file, then verify, replace or remove it. Buyers receive the file from a private store.

  13. Feature

    Imported paid members keep their access

    When you import from Substack and other platforms, you choose how paid and comp members are treated: a grace period of 14 to 90 days, permanent access, or free access. Members get reminder emails before a grace period ends.

  14. Performance

    Post images load as AVIF or WebP

    Images in posts now serve the smaller AVIF and WebP versions generated at upload, so phones download a fraction of the bytes.

  15. Feature

    WordPress import works from a public site address

    Importing from a WordPress site by its URL now finds your published posts and pages on public sites. Before, many public sites were analysed as empty. If the import cannot reach the site at all, it now ends as failed instead of reporting a ready import with nothing in it.

  16. Feature

    Choose annual billing and keep it through signup

    The monthly or annual choice you make on the pricing page now carries through signup into your 14-day trial checkout, and annual saves 20%.

  17. Theme

    Empty blogs and posts without a cover look clean in every theme

    A new blog now shows one clear "No posts yet" message in your theme's own style instead of fake article cards, and the lone page "1" is gone. Posts without a cover image no longer leave an empty grey box on listings, post pages or related-posts rows. Covers that do exist are real images with the post title as alt text, which helps Google Images find them.

  18. Feature

    Better search indexing for Arabic sites and long blog listings

    The Arabic home page now points search engines to /ar as its address, with matching English, Arabic and default language links, and post language links respect a custom blog path such as /news. Paginated blog and category pages can be indexed, and a page number past the last one returns a proper 404.

  19. Theme

    The motion toggle now works on all animated themes

    Visitors who turn motion off now get a still page on all twelve animated themes. Ten of them animate with CSS only and used to ignore the switch, and they now show it too.

  20. Plugin

    Newsletter popup remembers your readers

    With "show once" on, the newsletter popup now stays closed on later visits from the same browser, and readers who subscribed never see it again. It always behaved this way in the settings hint, and now it does in practice.

  21. Plugin

    Auto Tags adds tags on every way you publish

    Auto Tags now runs once when a post goes live, whether you publish from the editor, in bulk, through the API or on a schedule, and it matches whole words only. The editor shows the added tags right after you publish, so the next Save does not remove them.

  22. Commerce

    ShipStation shipping labels download as PDF

    Shipping labels created through ShipStation now download as a real PDF from your admin, so you can print them straight away.

  23. Performance

    Lighter pages for Arabic sites and page-builder pages

    Arabic pages no longer wait for a separate right-to-left stylesheet, since the few rules they need are now part of the page itself. Page-builder pages download the code only for the blocks they contain.

  24. Plugin

    Product pages for shipping, tax and affiliate connectors

    Shippo, ShipStation, TaxJar and Tapfiliate now have their own marketplace pages, along with the Memo Garamond theme and the Author Card and Newsletter Popup plugins. Each page describes what the item does, with an Arabic version written by hand.

  25. Commerce

    Book by team member or room

    Appointments now has a Team tab where you add staff, rooms or bays and assign them to services. Customers can pick a team member while booking, and two people can be booked at the same time when they are with different staff or in different rooms.

  26. Plugin

    Author bio and social links on the Author Card

    Each author can add a short bio and social profile links to their own profile, and the Author Card shows them under every post. Only web links starting with http or https are shown, and you can edit your own profile only.

  27. Plugin

    Affiliate Tracker click report

    See which tracked links and posts get clicks, and on which days, over the last 7, 30 or 90 days, and export the report as CSV.

  28. Feature

    WordPress import resumes where it stopped

    If a WordPress URL import is interrupted, it picks up from the saved page instead of starting over, and the wizard offers a fallback. When the site answers with a server error or refuses access, the import says so honestly.

  29. Feature

    Your dashboard's Top posts card shows real page views

    The Top posts card now shows real page views from the last 30 days, updated every 6 hours. They come from VeloCMS's own first-party beacon, with no cookies and no stored IPs, and bot traffic is filtered out. Every page a reader opens counts, including clicks between your posts.

  30. Feature

    Your plan's daily API quota, on the API settings page

    The API settings page now shows how many API calls your plan allows per day, so you can see your limit before an integration reaches it.

  31. Feature

    WordPress import keeps video and audio, and says exactly what moves

    Embedded video and audio now come across when you import from WordPress. The import guide lists exactly what moves (posts, pages, categories, tags, and media) and what does not (comments, user accounts, custom post types, and plugin data), so there are no surprises after you switch.

  32. Feature

    Two-factor sign-in works on your own custom domain

    Sign in with two-factor authentication directly on your site's own domain, such as blog.example.com/login, not only on a velocms.org address. The security check on the sign-in page also appears again after you sign out.

  33. Theme

    Logbook — the garage booking theme

    A new theme for independent garages and MOT stations, now in the theme marketplace and the setup wizard. The home page lists your own services and fixed prices from your Appointments setup, each with a Book button that opens the booking form with that service already selected. Phone, address, accreditations and reviews appear only once you add them, and mobile visitors get a call-and-book bar that stays on screen.

  34. Performance

    Arabic pages load lighter

    The Arabic web fonts are about half their old size (Noto Sans Arabic from 166 KB to 78 KB, Noto Kufi Arabic from 124 KB to 63 KB) and the letters render identically. The Arabic homepage now downloads about 2.2 MB instead of 5.4 MB.

  35. Feature

    Booking questions for each appointment service

    Add your own questions to any appointment service, such as the reason for a visit, and mark each one required or optional. Customers answer them when they book, and the answers appear on the booking in your dashboard. A service that already has bookings can be turned off instead of deleted, so it disappears from your booking page while its history stays.

  36. Feature

    Emails send from your verified domain

    Order confirmations, booking reminders, event updates, gift card emails, sign-in links, and newsletters now arrive from your own verified domain. Available on Business and Agency plans.

  37. Feature

    Member bans block sign-in

    Ban a member from your site and they cannot request sign-in links, redeem existing links, or stay signed in on subsequent visits. Site owners control this with a single toggle in the dashboard.

September 2026
  1. Commerce

    Restaurant reservations: deposits and private event dates

    Restaurants can now require a deposit through the owner's own Stripe account to confirm a reservation, and instantly mark entire date ranges as closed or private events — keeping the public booking form clear without manual 'call us' requests.

  2. Feature

    Comment moderation: approve, blocklist, and auto-ban spammers

    Site owners can now approve comments before they appear, set a word blocklist to catch spam automatically, and turn on auto-ban for repeat spammers — keeping conversations civil without the constant manual work.

  3. Feature

    Choose which languages your posts can be translated into

    In Settings, site owners can now pick which languages their posts are eligible to be translated into. The selection drives the per-post Translations screen and Bulk Translate tool. Available on Pro plans and above.

  4. Feature

    Schedule posts to publish automatically

    Schedule a post to go live at a specific date and time — it publishes automatically within a few minutes of the scheduled time, no 'publish now' button needed. Perfect for content calendars and time zones that don't match yours.

  5. Feature

    Customize the copy in your niche-specific theme

    Eleven themes that were written for a specific niche now let you replace their built-in wording from Settings, so a food, law or craft theme can speak for your business instead. Your site logo displays consistently on the themes you choose.

  6. Commerce

    Product images show a second picture on hover; imports keep store logos and Shopify variants

    Shopify and WordPress store imports now preserve store logos, favicons, and (for Shopify scrapes) real product variants, so your migrated catalog stays complete. Shop cards display a second product image on hover for a richer preview.

  7. Feature

    Personalize newsletters with reader names, email and tier

    The campaign editor now has a merge-tag picker. Insert {{first_name}}, {{email}}, {{tier}} or {{unsubscribe_url}}. Readers get newsletters that feel written just for them.

  8. Feature

    Migrated WordPress pages now come in as real, editable layouts

    Pages pulled in from a WordPress import are converted straight into VeloCMS's own drag-and-drop blocks — columns, galleries, buttons and all — with a clear note in the editor if anything needed a closer look, so your migrated content is something you can actually rearrange, not just a frozen snapshot.

  9. Feature

    Arabic readers finally see Arabic in your news listings

    Your /ar news page and Arabic homepage now show the Arabic version of each post — title, excerpt and link — instead of quietly falling back to English, so a bilingual site actually reads as bilingual for every visitor.

  10. Feature

    Icon-box blocks can now carry a photo, not just an icon

    The page builder's icon-box block now accepts an image alongside — or instead of — its icon, so a features section imported from another site keeps its original photos instead of losing them to a generic glyph.

  11. Feature

    Bring your newsletter over from Mailchimp, Kit, or beehiiv

    Export a CSV or archive from Mailchimp, Kit (ConvertKit), or beehiiv and a guided wizard maps your posts and subscriber list straight into VeloCMS — so switching newsletter platforms no longer means losing your back catalog or starting your list from zero.

  12. Commerce

    Sell printed copies of the photos in your albums

    Link a print product to any photo album from your dashboard and a 'Buy a print' button appears right on your portfolio page — shoppers pick the photo they want printed and check out without ever leaving your site.

  13. Feature

    Every blog category is now its own landing page

    Add an intro, a hero image, and featured posts to any category and it becomes a real destination page instead of just a filtered list — and a category with too little in it yet stays out of search results automatically, so nothing thin ever gets indexed as filler.

  14. Plugin

    Track exactly how readers use your site with PostHog

    Connect your PostHog account and get session recordings, funnels, and full product analytics alongside your built-in traffic dashboard — consent-gated like every other analytics connector, so nothing tracks a visitor until they agree.

  15. Commerce

    Orders with a mix of digital and physical items now track each side separately

    When a buyer checks out with a digital download and a physical product in the same cart, the order now shows two independent fulfillment tracks — the digital item unlocks instantly while the physical item moves through pack, ship, and deliver — so nobody is left wondering why part of their order is 'done' and part isn't.

  16. Commerce

    Sell tickets without a hard cap — unlimited capacity for online and open events

    Ticketed events can now be marked unlimited capacity, ideal for webinars, livestreams, or open registrations where there's no physical seat count to enforce — no more picking an arbitrary high number just to avoid a sold-out banner.

  17. Feature

    Readers can now follow just one category with its own RSS feed

    Every blog category now has its own dedicated RSS feed, so readers who only care about your tutorials — or only your travel posts — can subscribe to exactly that, without the rest of your site's updates cluttering their reader.

  18. Theme

    Aperture theme now shows camera details and richer search results for every photo

    Post covers on the Aperture theme now surface camera, lens, and exposure details straight from the photo's metadata, and each post carries structured image data that helps search engines show richer previews — a small detail that makes a photography blog feel like a real portfolio.

  19. Feature

    Your posts now shine with tables, embedded videos, galleries, and smart buttons

    The post editor enriches your content with tables featuring header rows and captions, embedded videos and audio from YouTube, Vimeo, Spotify, Instagram, and Pinterest that load only when readers click, responsive galleries with lightbox zoom and drag-to-reorder, inline call-to-action buttons, and slash-command shortcuts in English, Arabic, and Turkish. Build richer stories without leaving the editor.

  20. Feature

    Dates now speak your site's language

    All 40 public themes — blog listings, posts, product pages, and standalone pages — now format every date through one shared helper that honors your site's language and word order, so a site set to Arabic, French, or any other language shows dates the way its readers actually expect instead of hard-coded English, with a built-in safeguard that keeps future themes from slipping back.

  21. Feature

    Monthly growth reports your clients can actually read

    If you manage a client's site, the new Growth Reports page turns your dashboard's own numbers into a plain-English monthly report — a clear headline, six sections tracking month-over-month change, an honest note on anything not yet connected, and room for your own commentary — ready to publish to your client with one confirmation, and to print straight to PDF, in English or Arabic.

  22. Commerce

    Set how many bookings your business can handle at once

    Every bookable service now has a 'Bays / concurrent appointments' setting — a garage with three bays, a salon with two chairs, or a studio with one room each get booking slots that match their real capacity, instead of one appointment blocking out the whole day.

  23. Feature

    Your customers now get an automatic text reminder before their appointment

    Every booked appointment now sends an SMS reminder as the time approaches, so fewer customers miss their slot and you spend less time chasing no-shows by phone.

August 2026
  1. AI

    AI Assistant, one click away in your editor

    The post editor toolbar now features an AI Assistant button that opens the same smart panel the slash command provides, and dashboard actions throughout your interface now confirm via consistent, localized dialogs instead of browser popups, making every interaction feel more professional.

  2. Feature

    Import your Squarespace site with one XML upload

    Export your Squarespace site as a WordPress-format XML file and VeloCMS reads it directly — posts, pages, and images map in automatically, with an honest report of everything Squarespace's export leaves out.

  3. Feature

    Bring your Webflow CMS collections into VeloCMS as posts and pages

    Connect a Webflow site token and VeloCMS walks you through choosing CMS collections, mapping their fields, and importing everything as drafts — or use the CSV fallback if you'd rather not grant API access.

  4. Feature

    Import your Wix site straight from its public URL

    Paste your Wix site's public address and VeloCMS reads your blog feed, sitemap, and pages directly — posts, pages, and store products arrive as drafts with images re-hosted automatically, no login or API key required.

  5. Feature

    See real Google Search performance right next to your SEO score

    Connect Google Search Console and your posts show real clicks, impressions, and average position straight in the editor — plus an honest indexing check that tells you when Google has actually picked up a new page, and a dashboard with your top queries and pages.

  6. Feature

    Galleries shine with masonry layouts, lightbox zoom, and album-to-album linking

    Your photo and media albums now render in responsive masonry that respects each image's aspect ratio, launch fullscreen lightbox zoom for every asset, and link seamlessly between albums — so your readers navigate your portfolio intuitively.

  7. Commerce

    Buyers can now ask questions right on your product pages

    A built-in product Q&A lets shoppers ask about a product before buying, with your answers published under the listing — spam-guarded submissions, a moderation queue in your dashboard, and Q&A blocks you can place anywhere.

  8. Commerce

    Customer reviews now carry photos

    Shoppers can attach up to three photos to their product reviews — uploads are size-capped and spam-guarded, thumbnails render in the review list, and your moderation view shows every image before it goes live.

  9. Commerce

    Buy shipping labels from your dashboard via Shippo or ShipStation

    Physical-product sellers can now purchase a real shipping label for an order without leaving VeloCMS — cheapest rate picked automatically, the label and tracking number saved onto the order, with configurable carrier and package settings.

  10. Commerce

    Your checkout shows only the payment methods that actually work where you live

    Rail eligibility is now transparent on your checkout — customers see only Stripe, PayPal, Lemon Squeezy, or local options that actually support their region, with honest notes on why an option isn't available, so no one hits a dead end mid-purchase.

  11. Feature

    Canva reconnect and smarter error handling keep design uploads seamless

    The Canva image picker now distinguishes between 'not connected' and 'reconnect needed' states, handles multi-page design selection gracefully, performs automatic retry on transient failures, and surfaces import errors clearly — so your design workflow never gets blocked.

  12. Feature

    A research-backed buyer's guide: how to choose a blogging platform

    A new comprehensive guide on /compare walks prospective customers through how blogging platforms differ, what matters most, and where each (including VeloCMS) excels — with honest trade-offs, dual comparison tables, and links to full /vs/ breakdowns.

  13. Feature

    A live alarm alerts you instantly if your subscription renewals stop being recorded

    An always-on dashboard alarm monitors your Stripe subscription renewals and notifies you the moment one goes stale — catching webhook failures before your paying readers lose access, with a clear action to reconnect your payments.

  14. Feature

    Your site audit lands in your inbox the moment it finishes

    Run a site audit and get a clear, shareable email summary as soon as the scan completes — scores, fixes, and a direct link back to the report — so you never have to keep the tab open.

  15. Feature

    Your site's structured data joins one connected graph

    Your posts, products, and homepage now share one connected structured-data graph — every schema node references the others, so search engines and AI answer engines understand your site as a whole instead of isolated pages.

  16. Feature

    Change your plan without leaving the dashboard

    Open your plan card in Admin → Billing and upgrade or downgrade right there. Sites without a plan yet start checkout instantly; paid sites jump straight to the Stripe Customer Portal.

  17. Feature

    75 competitor comparison pages rebuilt on a richer, more honest template

    The /vs/ library now uses a flexible new template with gap cards, honest-when trade-offs, dual comparison tables, pricing breakdowns, and archetype guidance — so every comparison reads like a real buyer's guide, not a brochure.

  18. Feature

    A setup assistant that shows exactly what's left to launch

    Open Admin → Setup and see a live checklist of your site's readiness — domain and sender email verification, your first post, an active theme, and more — each one marked done, needs attention, or on its way, so nothing quietly gets left behind before you go live.

  19. Commerce

    An honest map of which payment providers work in your country

    A new help guide and clearer notes right where you pick a payment provider tell you upfront which rails — Stripe, PayPal, Lemon Squeezy, or local options — actually support sellers where you live, so you never hit a dead end mid-setup.

  20. Feature

    A redesigned dashboard, top to bottom

    From your sidebar and stats to every table and form, the whole VeloCMS dashboard now runs on a fresh, more polished design — cleaner cards, richer illustrations, and a consistent feel across posts, commerce, billing, and plugins.

  21. Feature

    Garages can look up a customer's vehicle by number plate, and every booking gets an automatic email reminder

    The new garage booking flow pulls a vehicle's make, model, and MOT/tax status straight from a UK number plate at the point of booking, and lets a garage manage several bays as separate booking slots. Every confirmed appointment now gets an automatic email reminder the day before and again a couple of hours ahead — turning a garage's VeloCMS site into a real booking and workshop tool, not just a brochure page. Text reminders tied to a vehicle's MOT due date are built and coming next.

  22. Feature

    A portfolio page for your best work

    Your published albums now get a public home at /portfolio — a fast gallery index with tag filters, plus a dedicated page per album, styled by whichever theme you run.

  23. Feature

    Photos publish without your location or camera trail

    For photography sites and anyone with watermarking on, every upload is processed before it goes public: GPS coordinates and camera identity are stripped from the served file, your watermark is applied, and the untouched original stays in private storage.

  24. Feature

    Buy your domain right inside VeloCMS

    Search for the perfect name and register it in a couple of clicks — no separate registrar account, no DNS wrangling. Your new domain wires straight to your blog.

  1. Theme

    Workbench Motion — a cinematic scroll-journey theme

    Scroll through a handmade pottery workshop: the scene travels behind your page while your headline, latest posts and shop assemble on stage.

August 2026
  1. Feature

    Share posts and track reading progress

    Your readers can now share posts to X, LinkedIn, or their system's default share target — and a live reading progress bar shows how much of the post is left. Every theme displays them automatically.

  2. Theme

    Your custom theme design now works on every page

    Theme component overrides are now wired into every post layout — tenants who add custom blocks to their theme's header, post, or footer areas see those elements everywhere their posts appear, not just in isolation.

  3. Feature

    A reader controls motion — pause cinematic themes

    Readers with motion sensitivity can now pause looping animations and cinematic effects on themes that use them — WCAG SC 2.2.2 compliance means everyone can enjoy your design without discomfort.

  4. Commerce

    Readers join the waitlist when tickets sell out

    When an event's ticket tier sells out, readers see a "Join waitlist" button. They enter their name and email once, then you can notify them the moment new tickets open or the event gets rescheduled.

July 2026
  1. Theme

    Your theme keeps its voice on the pages nobody designs

    A wrong link, a sign-in, a subscribe prompt — the pages a reader hits by accident used to look like nobody's site. Now all 39 themes draw their own. The terminal theme answers a missing page like a shell would; the gallery theme writes a wall label for a work not on display; the wire-service theme asks you to report to the copy desk. Same typography, same palette, same voice as the rest of your blog.

  2. Commerce

    Put a Shopify product on any page without knowing its handle

    Drop in a Shopify product card and browse your own catalogue right there in the page builder — search it, see the photo and the price, pick the one you meant. Until now you had to remember the product's handle and type it from memory, which is a strange thing to ask of anyone who owns the store.

  3. Commerce

    Tell us you sell services and get a bookable page

    Pick services and appointments during setup and you land with a services page, a first service ready to edit, and opening hours already filled in for the week — so a client can book you before you have written a single post.

  4. Feature

    Finish setup and your site is actually ready

    Answer the setup questions and your site is built for you — a home page, an about page, your menu, and categories that match what you told us you are making. Nothing to assemble by hand before you start writing.

  5. Commerce

    Sell tickets to your events

    Create ticket tiers with their own prices, capacity, and sale windows, then publish the event when you are ready. Your attendees buy straight from the event page.

  6. Feature

    Automate your blog with the official n8n node

    n8n-nodes-velocms is live on npm — publish posts, upload media, moderate comments, and react to webhooks from your n8n workflows, no custom code required.

  7. AI

    Publish to your blog straight from Claude

    The official VeloCMS MCP server (@velocms/mcp on npm) lets you draft, publish, and manage posts from Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or Cursor with a single API key.

  8. Feature

    Find anything in your dashboard, instantly

    The dashboard search now understands what you mean — type "domain", a post title, or even a typo, and jump straight to the right page, setting, action, or piece of content, grouped and ranked as you type.

  9. Feature

    Outrank connector — import SEO articles straight into your blog

    Build your content strategy in Outrank, then automatically import each article as a draft post to VeloCMS with a single webhook — no copy-paste, no re-keying, just your best writing ready to review and publish.

  10. Theme

    31 classic themes reborn with custom storefronts

    Your entire theme collection now ships with bespoke mobile menus, cart experiences, and shop layouts. No more one-size-fits-all stores — every theme's design language extends seamlessly into commerce.

  11. Theme

    Bespoke storefronts for every designer theme

    Every design theme now has its own shop layout, mobile menu, and cart experience — no two stores look the same. The raw-data shop contract means your theme shapes the commerce experience, not the other way around.

  12. Theme

    Inference — the AI newsroom theme

    Built for AI publications and signal services. Live ticker feeds, curated briefing wire, signal index, and a typography pairing that feels like professional journalism—all responsive and thematic from newsroom to storefront.

  13. Feature

    Connect your root domain from any registrar

    Use your own domain on any registrar — GoDaddy, Namecheap, Route53, or your Cloudflare DNS. VeloCMS detects your setup and gives you the exact DNS records you need. No Enterprise Cloudflare plan required.

  14. Theme

    Seven new cinematic themes — from law firms to maker studios

    A fresh animation collection: a measured law-firm masthead, a naturalist's dark-sky journal, a chef's recipe book, a touring musician's stage, a calm therapist's practice, a collector's museum, and a maker's workbench — each with its own typography, motion, and mood.

  15. Commerce

    Server-side ad conversion tracking (Meta + TikTok)

    Send purchase events straight from your server via Meta Conversions API + TikTok Events API — accurate attribution even when browser pixels are blocked.

  16. Commerce

    Hands-off print-on-demand fulfillment

    Connect Printful, Gelato, or Printify and every paid physical order is sent to your provider for printing + shipping automatically — no manual re-keying.

  17. Plugin

    Calendly booking block — let visitors book a call right on your page

    Drop a Calendly scheduling widget onto any page or post — just paste your public link, no account connection needed. Perfect for coaches, consultants, and anyone selling their time.

  18. Commerce
