GitHub import, push-to-deploy
Connect a repo or paste a public owner/repo, pick a branch, and every push redeploys through a registered webhook. Sign in with GitHub and the connection is already there.
Deploy from GitHub or a folder, let Webstead run the cycles and the monitoring, and keep a real exit path the whole time.
Free while in public beta. No credit card, no CLI to install.
Three ways in, the same build engine underneath. Every deploy runs in an isolated sandbox and ends with your files on-chain.

Vite, Astro, Create React App and static Next.js exports are recognised from package.json and the lockfile. Build settings are proposed, editable and remembered.
Drag a folder or a ZIP of built static files. No repo, no build step, no local tooling. Handy for exports from other tools or a quick one-off page.
Start from a Webstead template and edit sections, copy, colours and images in the page builder. Publish when it looks right; the deploy is the same as every other.
Each site gets its own canister on mainnet. Webstead funds it, watches it and tells you in plain language when something needs attention.
Every site lives in its own smart-contract-backed canister, replicated across an independent subnet. No shared origin server, no CDN contract, no single machine to fail.
Instead of a raw cycle balance you see days of runway and a fuel ring, so you know at a glance whether a site is fine or needs a look.
Webstead tops up cycles for you under a per-site monthly budget. When the budget is reached, top-ups pause and the site keeps serving; deploys are never blocked.
If a site is running low or goes offline, the owner gets one clear email, not a stream of them. Deploy failures and go-live moments are emailed too.
Ownership is the point. The address is yours, the canister is verifiable, and leaving is a controller transfer rather than a migration.
Every site gets a branded address the moment it deploys, served natively by the Internet Computer gateway. No DNS to set up.
Add your own domain, copy the generated DNS records and press Check setup. We validate against the network's custom-domain service and flip the badge to active.
Every canister ID is public and links straight to the Internet Computer dashboard, so you can confirm what's deployed without trusting a status page.
Take control whenever you want: we transfer the canister controller to a principal you own and step back. The process is documented on your account before you need it.
The parts of running a site that usually mean a second tool or a support ticket.
Set VITE_API_URL, NEXT_PUBLIC_* or any key your build needs. Values are encrypted at rest and only decrypted for the duration of a build.
Worker liveness, 24-hour deploy success rate and queue depth, live at /status. A real dashboard rather than a claim of reliability.
Collect visitor form submissions on any site and forward each one to your own endpoint with an HMAC-signed payload, GitHub-style.
Describe a change in chat and Webby edits your page builder document and shows a live preview. It can't publish; you press the button. Failed builds get a plain-language diagnosis too.
Canonical URLs, Open Graph tags, sitemap.xml, robots.txt and schema.org JSON-LD generated from your builder content.
Images live in a per-site library and stock photos from Unsplash and Pexels can be dropped straight in.
The dashboard, the editor and every page you're reading now follow your system theme.
Every deploy keeps its log. Read the tail of a failed build, or press Diagnose for a plain-language explanation and fix.
Flip one switch to see canister IDs, environments and raw cycle balances on every site card.
Import a Caffeine export or a Motoko project and Webstead deploys the backend canister alongside the frontend.
Free while in beta. No credit card, no CLI to install, and your canister is yours to take whenever you like.
