Content First
Archival's Content-First websites are fast, inexpensive, flexible, and future-proof. The Archival editor handles everything for your website – domain, DNS, deploys, content management, and more – for a single monthly price. We can get you online in minutes and are the simplest and most reliable way to build a website in existence.
Maintainable & Durable
Archival websites are built to be easy to maintain & last forever. Archival tracks changes to your website, which makes it possible to rebuild your website at any point in its history, revert changes from the distant past, and track who made every change.
Totally Yours
Archival websites can be customized in ways that are impossible on big platforms like Squarespace, and yet it's still far easier to edit the content even after you've made it yours. Archival makes it easy to get started with beautiful starter sites, and then allows you to customize and build using AI and web standards, not custom platform code or clunky css input fields.
Platform Free
With Archival, you own your entire website and data, and we can never change or take it away. Archival takes a new approach to describing content that makes it super easy to update your site but doesn't use expensive databases or limiting templates. Instead of being yet another page on a massive platform, your website becomes uniquely yours over time.
