No-code site creation is really hot right now but it's not always the best experience... your video looks pretty slick, so if your product is as good as your video and you can be better than WebFlow then that's awesome!
@danilov_den Glad to hear that! 👋
As for your question – even at this early stage, you can already create landing pages and fairly simple multi-page web sites in Graphite, as well as add a little spice to your projects with powerful animation effects.
As for the nearest future, we plan on introducing feature that would allow our users to design truly sophisticated web sites and manage huge amounts of content. Visual components and headless CMS integration are among those features.
As a web designer with really basic html/css knowledge i think this product has great protentional however at this moment you have only few basic options... Learning tools like webflow has much more sense to me....
Anyway this product is great example how tools from big companies like adobe can do the same, but they made 30 different and expensive tools full of bugs
Nice job!
@bojan_sandic1 Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it!
Now that you mention it, we're currently working hard to expand Graphite's functionality (as well as tutorials), so I'd love to know what features you would love to see in our editor first. Also – if you could share your opinion on what the 'minimum toolkit' a web page editor should have for you as a web designer, that would help us a lot. Thank you!

How well do SEO and third-party javascript code integrate into websites built using your platform?
What sets this project apart from Webflow, and Wordpress?
This is an awesome project! I'll keep a close eye on it!
@tycooperaow Thank you for your support!
We currently support basic SEO functionality: traditional web page meta-tags, 'alt' and 'title' element attributes, and the option to specify a tag for an HTML element. But we plan on gradually expanding our SEO toolkit.
Third-party JavaScript code integration can be done using the 'Code' element within the editor. In this case, the HTML/CSS will work right on the canvas, whereas the JS part will work on your web site once you've published it. We do have plans to make custom JS code work before publishing – first in the preview, and then in the editor workspace itself.
The short version of what makes us different from Webflow is we're much more focused on visual tools. This also means providing a much more designer-oriented experience that is a lot closer to what you might be used to working in a graphic editor rather than a webdev IDE.
As for the Wordpress comparison: Graphite gives you static web pages that load a lot faster and are much more stress-resistant. Also – the whole process of creating a landing page is a lot smoother and quicker (or so we aim to achieve) in our tool. To be fair though, when it comes to creating complex web sites and managing heaps of content, we don't have much on Wordpress yet. Fortunately, we do have a few updates in mind that will help us even the odds... in our favor 😄

Congrats.
I've just tried your creation. It's a practical and quickest way of creating a landing page. More templates in time will make the app more useful.
