What Sitewright is
Sitewright is a free, open-source, self-hosted website platform for agencies managing client sites. Pages are authored in HTML with Tailwind and DaisyUI, while clients can edit content in place without code access. Its built-in CMS provides typed datasets with 17 field types, detail pages, localized datasets, and interface strings; multilingual pages can inherit from a master page. Publishing creates portable, framework-free static sites deployable through local hosting, FTP or FTPS, SFTP, and Git. Sitewright includes reusable templates, white labeling, multi-site management, client collaboration, and role permissions. An AI assistant supports Anthropic and OpenAI-compatible endpoints, and coding agents can edit projects through a remote OAuth MCP endpoint. Authentication features include MFA/TOTP, passkeys/WebAuthn, OIDC SSO, and project-scoped API keys. Consent controls gate embeds and analytics, while version history, a 90-day media recycle bin, and upgrade snapshots support recovery. Production requires Docker, a domain, and a TLS reverse proxy; registration is invite-only, and multiple replicas are not yet supported.
Good
- Open-source and self-hosted
- CMS includes 17 typed field types
- Portable static-site publishing
- Client editing without code access
- Multiple authentication options
Watch out
- Production requires Docker and TLS proxy
- Registration is invite-only
- Multiple replicas are unsupported

Who it suits
Sitewright is aimed at agencies running multiple client websites that need self-hosting, collaboration, localization, and deployment control. It suits teams comfortable operating Docker-based infrastructure.
Verdict
Sitewright offers agencies a broad self-hosted toolkit for authoring, collaboration, localization, security, and static publishing. Its infrastructure requirements and unsupported multi-replica setup matter for deployment planning.
