Websites on benchy.site

Design a website on a canvas or build one in a folder, and Benchy hosts it at name.benchy.site or on your own domain.

How it works

  1. Build it. Design it on a canvas in Studio, or work in a folder with Benchy Desktop or your own agent.
  2. Preview. Publish a preview to its own address; the live website doesn't change.
  3. Go live. Publish to https://name.benchy.site/, or your own domain on a paid plan. Visitors get the new version within 15 seconds.
  4. Keep it up to date. Edit words and pictures in Studio, read form entries, and roll back to any earlier version at once.

What a website is

A website is an address plus every version published there. It usually belongs to a project, which holds the canvas or files it is built from; a website publishes one project. It belongs to the project's workspace, whose plan sets its limits, and has the project's access; in a private project, the workspace's Owner can still manage its domains and delete it, but not change it. The project's BENCHY.md can name it, so the CLI and agents know where to publish.

Every publish to the live address is a fixed version, and putting an earlier one back is instant. Publishing and serving are free on every plan; custom domains need a paid plan, and form entries have a monthly quota. See Plans and limits.

What runs where

WhereWhat runs there
Your computerYour agent, your editor, your build (npm run build and the like) and local previews
BenchyThe address, versions and previews, certificates for your domains, the content your team edits in Studio, and form entries
Your visitors’ browsersYour HTML, CSS and JavaScript. A browser app, a game or a tool works as long as it needs no server of its own

A website that needs a backend calls one you run elsewhere; see What a website serves.
