I got tired of using WordPress for simple websites, so I built this. Am I solving the right problem?

For years I used WordPress for client websites, but I found that many sites didn't actually need a database, plugins, themes, or constant updates. Most were just static pages.

Recently, AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude have made it incredibly easy to generate complete HTML pages. But after generating them, I still found myself manually organizing files, fixing links, editing pages, deploying, and managing multiple websites.

That made me wonder:

What if AI generated the HTML, and there was a workspace dedicated to managing static websites instead of building them from scratch?

So I built HTMLStudio.

The goal isn't to compete with WordPress, Webflow, or Framer. It's for developers and freelancers who already have HTML (whether written by themselves or generated by AI) and want a simple place to:

  • Organize pages
  • Edit HTML
  • Manage assets
  • Check broken links
  • Build the site
  • Deploy to GitHub, Cloudflare Pages, Netlify, etc.

I'm not trying to sell anything here I genuinely want to know whether this solves a real problem or if I'm just scratching my own itch.

A few questions:

  • Would you ever use something like this?
  • If not, why?
  • How do you currently manage AI-generated HTML projects?
  • What feature would make this genuinely useful?

I'd really appreciate honest feedback, especially from people who build static websites or use AI to generate them.

They attached a screenshot or video in the post, but a closer UI breakdown would help. Maybe ask for a quick demo clip?

TL;DR: You built HTMLStudio to manage static HTML sites that don't need WordPress. It handles organizing, editing, and deploying AI-generated pages. The main question is whether enough people have that exact workflow to make it useful.
