Build it on your couch. Launch it from the beach.
Sitely is a powerful visual website builder for iPad and Mac. Design every page directly on the canvas by dragging real elements into place. There’s no code to write, no templates to fight, and every feature is designed for people who want to build websites, not learn web jargon.
Designing in Sitely feels straightforward because what you see is what you edit. Place elements where you want them, style them visually, and see the finished result as you work. It’s not just no code. Every tool is clear, direct, and streamlined, so you can focus on your website instead of learning complicated concepts.
Building is fast, too. A rich collection of built-in elements means you’re rarely starting from scratch. Add text, galleries, forms, maps, buttons, videos, and more with a tap, then style everything directly on the page. The built-in preview lets you interact with your site as you work, making it easy to refine ideas quickly.
Sitely is a native iPad app designed for touch. Every interaction feels natural with your fingers or Apple Pencil, making precise editing comfortable without feeling like desktop software squeezed onto a tablet.
This isn’t a companion app or a stripped-down editor. It’s the complete website builder, designed for iPad from the ground up. With the same professional features and capabilities as the Mac version, you can start a project on one device and continue on the other whenever you like.
Wireframe Mode lets you sketch a layout with Apple Pencil or your finger. As you draw, Sitely converts your strokes into real website elements directly on the canvas. When you’re ready, switch back to the standard editor and continue refining the very same page. There’s no separate sketch to recreate and no design to rebuild.
Designing on an iPad doesn’t mean designing only for iPads. Instantly preview your site at phone, tablet, and desktop sizes, then switch between layouts with a tap. Move between your Mac and your iPad whenever you like, with every project staying perfectly in sync.
Sitely generates static websites, so there are no databases, server-side software, or plugins to maintain. Every major feature is built into Sitely itself, so you aren’t depending on third-party plugins that break after updates or stop being maintained. The result is websites that are fast, secure, reliable, and easy to host on almost any hosting plan, with no ongoing maintenance.

Keeps getting better (and better) Update
artMonster
Do yourself a favor and spend the money on the Pro version. If you are familiar with Apple apps like Pages, or you miss iWeb and where it could have gone, then you will love Sparkle. The developer is very committed to this app and is very responsive. They have been deliberate with new features, taking the time to get things right. The tools are here to be as serious or whimsical as you wish, all you need is imagination.Decided to update my review. Over time many apps are neglected and stagnate. This is not one of those apps. It is constantly updated and the developer listens to feedback. It is ideal for artists, cartoonists, and photographers, easy to focus on the work and not the complications of the app interface or design. It's a good development tool for those that create websites for business owners who don't want to deal with that side of things. I've used this since the start, and it is only one of three apps I can say that about after many years. Just excellent.Update: Now known as Sitely, this app has been constantly updated, improved upon, and new features added. Far too many to list here. Buy the app and pick the pricing model you want. Support remains exceptionally responsive.
Hands-Down the best web designer/publisher
Nathan_Geb
Using Sitely has completely changed how I approach web design. From the moment I opened the app, everything felt intuitive and incredibly well-thought-out. The ability to create stunning designs with features like parallax effects and custom layouts was not only easy but genuinely enjoyable. I’ve used other tools before, but Sitely stands out because it lets me focus on creativity without getting bogged down in technical details. It feels like it was built with designers in mind, making the whole process smooth and satisfying. If you’re looking for a tool that makes web design fun and efficient, you definitely need to try Sitely.
Easy to use even for beginners

I decided to purchase this after the other software I was using for years was no longer supported and went out of business. I found it to be easy to use once you got the hang of it. Extremely easy to publish using built in FTP. I would absolutely recommend this. The cost is reasonable as well. I was looking for a non-subscription based software solution and able to keep it locally for privacy and protection.
Revised my review - turns out a lot of those bugs were user error
S11Gjazz
So in my previous review, my frustration with my own urgency and lack of skill got the better of me. This is a gooid program. Many good features. I am stil getting the hang of it, and I couldn't give it 5 stars because a couple features i was really counting on I haven't been able to get to work yet (like privacy policy page, so I can track visitors). And also because it is not quite as easy to use as I had hoped - but that's because there are many good features. So there is a learning curve. Support is good and patient, but you may have to email them directly instead of using the form on their website. UPDATE - I preferred the name Sparkle, and the “AI tools” are highly questionable
Developer Response
We appreciate that this is frustrating, but bugs do happen and while a single rare bug can affect your project systematically, it 100% is not an indication of the overall app quality. Moreover complaining here will not lead to a solution, conversely if you get in touch with our support (we do respond) we'll provide the fixes we are developing, or develop a fix based on the bug you have surfaced. Peace!
