How it works
- Choose a design – Pick from clean, professional themes. Customise colours and fonts without touching code.
- Write and organise – Create blog posts, pages, and collections. The editor is simple and distraction-free.
- Publish – Your site goes live on your domain. We can help you publish to a hosting service, or you can download the files and host them yourself.
Everything is static HTML, which means your site loads fast, costs almost nothing to host, and can't break from server issues or security vulnerabilities.
What you can build
Personal blog or portfolio
Showcase your writing, organise by topic, build your professional presence.
Project documentation
Document your work, share knowledge, create resources for your field.
Content hub
Create case studies, provide thought leadership or create a company blog.
Your canonical archive
Publish elsewhere if you want, but point people to your Sparktype site as your home base.
Why ownership matters
When you publish on a commercial platform, you're building their asset, not yours. They own the relationship with your readers. They control the URLs. They decide what happens to your content.
Sparktype works differently. You set up and publish your site through the editor, but the site itself is yours. Sparktype stores your content in open formats and generates standard HTML code. You can move to a new host or even switch to a different publishing platform in minutes.
Writing that lasts
Social platforms optimise for engagement. They want you checking metrics, chasing viral hits, adapting to whatever the algorithm rewards this week.
Sparktype deliberately doesn't have follower counts, like metrics or, algorithmic feeds. Instead, it's a calm place for your work that allows you focus on writing that matters to you. Your archive builds value over time instead of being lost in the noise.
Pricing
Sparktype is free and open source
Create and publish as many sites via Sparktype as you want for free, though you will need hosting. Most static hosts are free or very cheap – export and upload files to your own server or connect directly to selected hosting services.
