Ycode

Ycode is a visual website builder and CMS that gives you full control over your site's design, content, and infrastructure. It's aimed at designers, founders, and agencies who want the polish of a tool like Webflow without being locked into a closed platform.

The self-hosted version is completely free and open source. You get full code access, custom domains, unlimited pages, unlimited CMS items, unlimited users, and unlimited form entries. No usage caps, no vendor lock-in. If you'd rather skip the infrastructure work, a managed cloud option handles hosting, CDN delivery, and updates automatically.

Key capabilities include:

• Visual builder for designing pages without writing code, with animation support and gradient tools built in
• Built-in CMS with collection filtering, dynamic sorting, and pagination for content-heavy sites
• Multilingual support with unlimited languages on every plan
• Form handling with unlimited entries, no third-party service required
• Rich-text editor for managing content directly within the builder
• Custom domains supported across both self-hosted and cloud plans

For agencies, a white-label workspace lets you run Ycode under your own domain with multi-user access and unlimited cloud projects bundled in.

Compared to other open source website builders or headless CMS tools, Ycode stands out by combining the visual design layer and content management in one place, rather than splitting them across separate tools. Users migrating from closed platforms cite GDPR compliance and community responsiveness as practical reasons for switching.

The self-hosted path deploys to Vercel with Supabase as the database backend, keeping your stack on infrastructure you already control.
