Grapes Studio Officially Launches Out of Stealth
Today marks a significant milestone for Grapes Studio as we officially launch out of stealth to challenge the status quo of website building. After years of development and refinement, we're excited to introduce an AI-powered, HTML-first website builder that puts true ownership back in the hands of creators.
The Challenge to WordPress
For over two decades, small businesses have relied on WordPress to power their websites—paying high hosting fees, juggling plugins, and dealing with constant updates. Our mission is to challenge that model with a platform that offers:
- AI-powered editing that understands your design intent
- HTML-first approach that generates clean, portable code
- Total ownership of your website and its code
- Significant cost savings of up to 75% on hosting and maintenance
- One-click imports from any existing website
Unlike AI builders that lock you into proprietary systems, Grapes Studio generates clean HTML and CSS you can host anywhere—forever.
What's Next: The Road Ahead
This launch is just the beginning. We're committed to continuously evolving the platform based on user feedback and the latest web technologies. Here's what you can expect in the coming months:
Enhanced AI Capabilities: We're working on more sophisticated AI features that will make website creation even more intuitive and powerful.
Expanded Integration Ecosystem: Look for deeper integrations with popular tools and platforms that businesses use every day.
Advanced Template Library: A growing collection of professionally designed templates that showcase the full potential of our platform.
Community-Driven Features: As we grow, we'll be incorporating more community feedback and feature requests to ensure Grapes Studio evolves in the direction that serves our users best.
Built on Open Source Foundation
Grapes Studio builds on years of open-source adoption through the GrapesJS framework, which has been downloaded millions of times and integrated into products by companies ranging from startups to Fortune 500 firms. This foundation ensures reliability, transparency, and the freedom that comes with truly open technology.
We're funded by Open Core Ventures, founded by Sid Sijbrandij, co-founder of GitLab, and built on the same open-core philosophy that helped GitLab become a global success.
