I got tired of sign-up walls & heavy servers, so I built 39+ free client-side webmaster tools.
Hey Indie Hackers,
As a web developer and SEO specialist, I was frustrated with modern utility websites. Almost every basic tool out there forces you to log in, solve tedious captchas, or pay after just three uses.
To solve this for myself and other creators, I spent some time building TheWebes (https://www.thewebes.com).
It is an all-in-one, 100% free webmaster toolkit. Here’s what makes it different:
100% Client-Side: Tools like the image compressor, code minifiers, and schema generators run entirely in your browser. Your private files and code never upload to my servers.
Zero Signup Barriers: Just open any tool and get instant results. No paywalls.
Free Niche LP Builders: I built lightweight, responsive landing page builders for Real Estate, NGOs, and Insurance, since clean free templates are hard to find.
Interactive SEO Roadmaps: Actionable checklists for general sites and NGOs to help beginners.
It’s a solo project, and I've kept it completely clean of any annoying popup ads or redirects.
I'd love to get your honest feedback on the UI, speed, and what tools I should build next. Let me know what you think!
One thing I'd keep an eye on is whether people remember TheWebes as "a site with lots of tools" or as "the place I go for a specific reason."
Those sound similar, but they're very different positions to earn in someone's mind.
Hi Aryan, that's a really smart point, and it's actually something I think about a lot. There is a big difference between being just a 'list of tools' vs. a 'go-to place' for a specific problem.
To solve this, I'm trying to build very specific, practical tools alongside the generic ones. For example, instead of just a basic image resizer, I built a 'Govt Job Photo Studio' resizer because Indian exam applicants always struggle with strict photo/signature sizes. I also made dynamic, responsive Landing Page builders for NGOs and Real Estate, and an interactive Website SEO Roadmap where everything is completely practical—you can generate schemas, og, compress images, and run server diagnostics right there in one single place without switching between 10 different sites.
My hope is that these specific, highly practical tools give people a clear reason to bookmark the site, while the other 35+ tools are there as a handy bonus once they visit.
What do you think of this hybrid approach? Do you think it's better to keep them all together or split them into separate sites later?
I do have a view on it, but I don't think I'd do it justice in a thread because it depends on what position you're ultimately trying to earn with TheWebes.
I'd enjoy continuing the conversation outside the thread if you're open to it. What's the best email to reach you on?
Hi Aryan, I'd love to continue this conversation and hear your thoughts. You can reach me at "contact@thewebes.com". Looking forward to your email!
Thanks! I’ve just sent it over.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts whenever you have a chance.
Hi Aryan,
Thanks for reaching out! I checked out beryxa.com—I really like your clean approach to helping founders make high-impact decisions before over-allocating resources.
You absolutely hit the nail on the head. The biggest strategic decision I am currently weighing for TheWebes is exactly what you mentioned: how to transition from a generic "toolkit" that users visit once via Google Search to a "workspace/destination" that developers and creators actively bookmark and return to.
That is actually why I started building niche vertical tools (like our dynamic NGO page builders, Real Estate builders, and interactive SEO roadmaps). My theory was that these highly practical, underserved use-cases would give users a distinct, memorable reason to return, while the other 35+ tools act as a supportive, handy playground once they are already on the site.
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. In your evaluations, have you seen other utilities successfully pull off this transition under a single brand, or is it usually better to eventually spin off the most popular niche tools into separate, dedicated domains?
Looking forward to your insights!

Thanks Krishna — I’ve replied by email since this is better handled there.
