Here's the UI taking shape

New Page Map view from the live build - mapping your site, editing pages, and seeing structure at a glance.

Walkthrough of the Page Map: browse every page, edit inline, and understand the whole site without bouncing between tabs.
The Problem

The tools we used to love are gone. The new ones don't feel right.

For years, building websites has become harder, not easier. If you've ever felt frustrated with the current options, you're not alone.

Modern tools expect you to think like a developer, even when you just want to design and ship a site.
Hosting, plugins, and subscriptions all stack up and it's never clear what you still need.
"Design systems" often become a second job: naming, syncing, and fixing broken consistency across pages.
And the calm desktop tools we trusted quietly disappeared.
The Direction

Built for clarity, not chaos.

A modern desktop studio that brings back focused creation while staying powerful enough for real projects.

01
Desktop-first

Runs locally for speed and focus, no browser noise, no laggy tabs.

02
Visual layout

Design directly with precision and calm without drowning in panels and jargon.

03
Seeds (global design)

A calmer way to control colour, type, spacing and styling across your whole site.

04
Publish anywhere

Own your files. Publish to your hosting or services you already trust.

Coming next

Seeds

Seeds are Meadow Weaver's global design system - define your colour, typography, spacing and structure once, then assign it wherever you need it. Change a Seed, and everything that uses it updates instantly.

This is how Meadow Weaver avoids the classic "20 pages to update a radius" problem. Seeds keep your site consistent without the design-system headache.

  • Global Seeds for colour, type, spacing, radius and more.
  • Assignable to sections and elements, easy to reuse.
  • Local overrides when you need them, without breaking the system.

Note: Seeds aren't shown in the build footage yet; they're the next milestone currently being built.

Who It's For

Made for real creators, not just frameworks.

Whether you're building your own site, running a small business, or designing for clients, this is being shaped with you in mind.

Designers who miss desktop workflow
  • •Miss the feel of real desktop website software.
  • •Want precision without fighting a browser.
  • •Prefer tools they can buy once and truly own.
Small businesses & teams
  • •Tired of juggling subscriptions just to keep a simple site online.
  • •Want a CMS they don't have to explain every time someone new joins.
  • •Care about control, ownership, and simplicity.
Agencies & freelancers
  • •Build lots of sites and want a faster, cleaner workflow.
  • •Need clients to edit content without touching the layout.
  • •Want to host and deploy on their own terms.
Makers & creators
  • •Launch projects quickly without learning three new platforms.
  • •Experiment with ideas, products, and content in one place.
  • •Prefer tools that stay out of the way and let them build.
Under The Hood

Fast. Local. Powerful.

Runs natively on Windows. No browser required, just a focused desktop app built for serious work.
Your projects live on your machine. You own the files, the structure, and the content - not a platform.
Publish anywhere: static hosting, your own server, or services you already trust. No forced hosting, no lock-in.
No mandatory subscriptions. Choose how you want to use it - and when you want to upgrade.

From The Builder

A note from me.

“I've spent years frustrated with the state of web design tools. Everything felt bloated, locked-down, or too technical. The tools I loved disappeared, and nothing truly replaced them.

So I decided to build the tool I always wanted - fast, visual, powerful, and genuinely enjoyable to use. A calm desktop studio with a real system behind it - and a clear path to a visual CMS.

Thank you for joining me on this journey. The best is yet to come.”
