What is Cute Magick

Cute Magick is for people who want to build real websites, but hit a wall with modern infrastructure.

If you learned HTML and CSS once and drifted away, or if you know how to code but don’t want to fight servers, pipelines, and configuration just to pick up a project or experiment, this is for you.

Cute Magick gives you a real website building environment that you can use immediately, without requiring you to understand or adopt traditional infrastructure culture first.

It starts from a simple idea: your computer is already a server, and the web is already accessible. Cute Magick exists to make that feel true again.

The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned. —Maya Angelou

It’s a website platform that you can finally call home. More than a website platform, it’s a safe place to experiment and express yourself. You can create as many sites as you want. Every change is remembered. Undo is built in. You can run PHP, Python, Node, whatever—and time-travel through your site's entire history. It's self-hosted and Git-backed—you own your data, and you can't permanently break anything.

Cute Magick gives you an environment to create, build, and run sites with server power. It’s different than a static site host because it lets you run more than HTML & CSS. The platform also gives you a (cute and customizable) workspace for editing multiple sites and files on the same screen. This includes file, database & secrets management, code editing, private version previews, and a time machine—more on that later.
