How it works

  1. 01

    Sign up — your site is live in 10 seconds.

    Email + password, no card. You land on your-slug.kwaku.app with a starter page. 25 free edits to shape it.

  2. 02

    Chat to it.

    "I'm a literature professor — make me a CV site, editorial style, here are my papers." "Tighten the bio." "Add a contact form." It changes only what you asked. Every edit is snapshotted; one click rolls back.

  3. 03

    Bring your domain. Or don't.

    Pay $30 once for 200 more edits plus the custom-domain unlock. Automatic TLS. Point your domain at us. The day we annoy you, export the static files and take them.

Who it's for

Academics, writers, consultants, photographers, founders — people who need a deliberate web presence but not a homepage they update twice a year.

What you save vs. the alternatives

Most personal-site tools charge a monthly subscription for software you touch a few times a year. A year on Kwaku is one $30 pack. A year anywhere else is hundreds.

Tool Monthly 1-year cost You save
kwaku $0 $30 —
Lovable Pro $25 $300 $270
v0 Premium $20 $240 $210
Wix Personal $17 $204 $174
Squarespace Personal $16 $192 $162

Competitor pricing as of mid-2026, basic / personal tiers, billed annually where applicable. Numbers move — the gap doesn't.

Why this exists

If your web presence is "I should have a homepage," you've been mispriced. Subscription site builders charge for software you touch maybe twice a year. The thing you actually need is a tasteful page that renders fast, looks deliberate, and stays out of your way.

Web hosting and AI inference both got cheap. Subscription pricing in this category hasn't caught up. We pass the savings along: open-source stack, one small server, no SaaS dependencies, no tracking on your visitors, no third-party fonts unless you ask. Your domain points at our box. The day we annoy you, you take the static files with you.

Named after Kwaku Ananse — the Akan trickster spider, weaver of webs, keeper of stories. Spider, as in web. Trickster, as in do more with less.
