Why sitemd works for agencies
If you're selling fixed-scope, fixed-price projects to clients, every second spent on backend infrastructure eats into your margins. sitemd helps you deliver high-quality, high-performance websites to clients at super speed.
- Guardrails for your agent (and your team). sitemd has opinions about how pages, navigation, settings, and deploys are structured. Your agent can't easily ship a client site with a malformed sitemap, broken OG tags, or missing meta description — the framework catches it. Junior operators get the same safety net.
/kickstart— generate a complete first-draft site (pages, nav, settings, theme, copy) from a single sentence describing the client. Your agent walks the client brief through/kickstartand produces something to review in minutes./clone— when you need to migrate a client's old site, there's no reason to start from zero. point sitemd at the URL and it scrapes any site into editable markdown, in a fraction of the time it'd take to start from a blank page.- Per-client theming and branding. Custom theme, custom colors, custom typography, custom layouts — sitemd is themeable end-to-end. The conventions are smart defaults, not walls. Every client can look distinct without your agent reinventing the build pipeline each time.
- Auto-generated SEO out of the box — Open Graph, JSON-LD, sitemap, robots.txt, llms.txt, meta descriptions, OG images. The stuff a polished client deliverable needs, automatic on every site.
- Forms, auth, gated content, dynamic data, embeds — built in. The "can you add a contact form / email signup / member area / blog / portfolio / event listing" requests stop being half-day tangents.
- Deploy with one command to Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, Vercel, or GitHub Pages. Same command, every client. No per-client deploy script to maintain.
- No hosting lock-in. sitemd doesn't host. The client owns the deploy URL, the codebase is markdown the client can read, and you can hand off (or take back) any site cleanly.
- Super affordable — $16.15 one-time flat fee per site when buying 50+ site slots at one time. No recurring subscription costs.
A typical client project with sitemd
- Scoping call ends. You have an outline of what the client wants.
npx @sitemd-cc/sitemd init client-name— your agent scaffolds the project./kickstartwith the client brief. Your agent generates the full first draft — pages, nav, settings, theme, copy — in one pass.- Iterate "Make the hero copy more direct," "add a portfolio gallery section," "swap to the warmer color palette." Your agent edits the markdown directly; you watch the dev server hot reload in your browser.
/seo— runs the SEO health check, fixes Open Graph + JSON-LD + sitemap + robots.txt issues automatically. Client gets a polished SEO baseline without you doing it manually./deploy— push to Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, Vercel, or GitHub Pages on the client's domain.- Hand off. The client owns the deploy URL. The codebase is markdown they (or another developer) can read. No proprietary format, no platform lock-in, nothing for you to maintain after handoff.
Maximize your margins
If you're in the business of shipping client sites, you care about cost, speed, and quality per site.
sitemd is the most cost-effective way to build sites for clients using AI coding agents.
- No recurring subscription costs
- No hosting lock-in
- No per-site limitations
- Flat one-time fee per site ($16.15 when buying 50+ site slots at one time)
- Full AI-native site building framework for efficient, predictable, high quality output
Instead of hundreds (or thousands) of recurring costs every month, sitemd is a simple flat price for every site you ship.
Why not build your own in-house client site delivery system instead?
You should build your own in-house system, you just shouldn't build all of it. sitemd is meant to be the backbone of your system, not a replacement for it.
sitemd is the ideal starting point for a fully-featured, powerful client site delivery workflow.
Here's everything you'd have to build (and maintain) yourself to replace what sitemd handles for you:
- Powerful markdown parsing + syntax system that lets you and your agent write full sites efficiently with (mostly) natural language
- MCP server, skills, and CLI tools for Claude, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, and OpenClaw
- Dev server with hot reload and browser markdown panel editor
- Seamless pre-built integrations for deployment, media hosting, SEO, analytics, user login + content gating, forms, dynamic data + detail pages, content generation, and more
Your time is better spent running your business instead of engineering every inch of your tech infrastructure from scratch.
Fully AI-native site building
sitemd is designed for an AI coding agent to drive end-to-end. You can edit markdown directly in your code editor and sitemd's browser dev panel, but your coding agent is the primary interface for sitemd.
Markdown all the way down
Coding agents think in markdown. sitemd sites are just folders of markdown files. Agents write pages and build whole sites with simple markdown edits. Bonus: markdown is easy for humans to read + edit too.
MCP tools for every task
Content, config, build, deploy, auth, cloning, docs, and feedback — all through one MCP server. Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, OpenClaw, VS Code — any MCP-capable agent works out of the box.
Skills for every agent
sitemd ships with ready-made skills and manifests for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, and OpenClaw. Any MCP-compatible agent picks it up automatically. You're not locked into one coding agent.
Predictable project structure
pages/ for content. settings/ for configuration. theme/ for customization. Your agent always knows where everything lives. No routing magic, no hidden state.
Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, OpenClaw, and any AI agent that can use MCP and skills.
AI Agency FAQ
How does sitemd compare to programmatic SEO tools like SEOmatic, AirOps, or Webflow + Airtable + Whalesync?
Those tools pipe content into someone else's CMS and cost hundreds (or thousands) of dollars every month. They're built for a human clicking through a UI with an AI helping at the edges. sitemd is the whole system — no CMS lock-in, no monthly fee, and only $16.15 one-time purchase per site when buying 50+ sites at once — and your agent drives the entire workflow end-to-end without ever leaving the terminal. See our programmatic SEO use case page for more detail.
How does sitemd compare to Astro / Next.js / Remix / SvelteKit starter kits?
Most starter kits are only marginally better than starting from scratch (and some are actually worse). Most don't include an MCP server, CLI tools, or built-in one-line integrations for SEO, analytics, content generation, doc writing, user login, content gating, dynamic data + detail pages, and more.
Do I have to host my site with sitemd?
No, and you couldn't even if you wanted to. sitemd isn't a website hosting service — it's a website building toolkit you install on your machine. You'll build your site locally, then deploy & host wherever you want.
Can I use sitemd for client sites?
Absolutely. 15% bulk discount when purchasing 50+ site slots at one time.
Is there a free version/trial?
Yes. sitemd can run in free trial mode forever. You can preview all features in trial mode. You only need to pay when it's time to deploy your site.
How many sites do I get?
When you initially upgrade/purchase sitemd for $79, you get 3 starter site slots. If you need more sites, you can purchase additional slots for $19/ea or 50+ at one time for a 15% bulk discount.
What counts as 1 "site"?
Any set of pages (could be 1, could be 100+) that share the same site title, brand name, and deploy URL. We call this your "site identity" and it's how we verify your site's activation status.
Note: subdomains are considered their own unique deploy URL, so if you need to deploy pages to both mydomain.com and sub.mydomain.com, that uses 2 site slots.
Can I reassign my site slots?
No. Activating a site is permanent — it cannot be undone, refunded, or credited.
Do you offer refunds?
No. You can fully preview all sitemd functionality for free for as long as you need before making a purchase decision.
Are future updates included?
Yes. All sitemd updates ship to you automatically.
