About Mobirise

Mobirise is a desktop website builder: you install the app on Windows, Mac or Linux, build pages from pre-made blocks offline, and publish the result to any host, FTP server, GitHub Pages or Mobirise's own hosting. Because the output is plain static HTML, CSS and JavaScript, you own the files and can host them anywhere for little or nothing. The core app is free, and money comes from premium themes, extensions and an all-in-one kit sold as a yearly purchase, plus optional hosting plans. An AI mode can draft sites in the browser as well. Block-based editing keeps things simple but limits custom layouts, and there is no built-in CMS, so blogs and frequently updated content are awkward. It suits people who want static sites they control without learning code.

Best for: People who want a free desktop builder and static files they can host anywhere.
