Why this exists.

Squarespace and Wix are worth more than eleven billion dollars combined.

That money didn't come from building websites. It came from charging small business owners twenty dollars a month, every month, for the rest of their lives, to keep the websites they already paid to design.

Eleven billion dollars to hold text and images hostage.

A small business shouldn't have to choose between paying monthly rent on the thing customers see first, and looking unprofessional. A photographer shouldn't lose her portfolio because a credit card declined. A restaurant shouldn't migrate to “the next platform” every few years and watch three years of search rankings disappear each time.

Your website is a thing you made. It's yours. It should sit on your computer the way your logo sits on your business cards. It shouldn't be a thing you rent forever from a company worth eleven billion dollars.

KeepYourSite hands you the files.

Once you hit convert, your site is downloaded as a folder. Click through it offline. Host it for free on Vercel or Netlify or your old web guy's server. Edit it with any text editor. Pass it down to your kids. Sell the business with it. It's yours, the same way the photos on your phone are yours.

One charge. No subscription. No “premium tier.” No upsell that triples the price the day you try to cancel. The product is the export. The export is the product.

If you want to cancel Squarespace or Wix tomorrow, cancel it. Your site lives on without them.

Built by someone who thinks eleven billion dollars is a lot to charge for a digital landlord.
