Honestpage

I’ve wanted to build a website maker since 2011.

Not another feature-loaded platform, just something for simple sites—portfolios, contact pages, small business cards on the web.

Everything out there felt like using a bulldozer to plant a flower.

So I built HonestPage: one-page websites that load in under a second, cost nothing (or $9/month if you want more), and you can export anytime.

No CMS, no plugins, no dashboard maze. Just a page.

Clean PHP/MySQL codebase. No frameworks.

Built as Wix/Squarespace alternative for simple sites:

• 0.8s load times (vs Wix's 8s)

• Mobile perfect by default

With a 'Submit your website or startup' feature - A "Submit Your Website/Startup" page is a powerful SEO flywheel.

Built-in “Now” page

Time-relevant updates that keep pages alive without requiring full content systems.

Expandable add-on system:

Native support for services, FAQs, testimonials, and lead capture — monetization and upsell ready without changing the core product.

Public directory (opt-in):

Network effect surface for discovery while preserving user control and privacy.

“Love” counter:

...and “Top loved pages” sort in /directory

Static export & ownership model"

Users can export and own their pages, reducing platform risk and increasing trust.

Privacy-first by design:

No ads. No trackers. No hidden data extraction — simplifies compliance and improves brand credibility.

It’s for people who don’t need Wix or Squarespace—just a clean, fast page that works.
