Aglyn 1.0 is here

Aglyn 1.0 is out. On November 1 the platform became generally available, two months after we opened early access. It's the whole product, released: a website builder with the store, forms and inbox, CRM, email campaigns, analytics and Aglyn AI built in, run from one console and free to start. Here's what's in it, what changed since early access, and what comes next.

Describe it, edit it, publish

The biggest change since early access is how a website starts. Tell Aglyn what the site is for and who it's for, and Aglyn AI plans the pages, navigation, contact form and theme, then builds each page as a draft you can see.

From there, Besigner takes over. Every part of the draft is editable on the canvas with no code: change the words, swap the photos, move sections, add a store or bookings. Nothing goes live until you publish it, on a free aglyn.app address or on your own domain with SSL.

One platform, and more of it

We said it when we opened early access and it's still the point: a website shouldn't need a stack behind it. What has grown is how much of the business runs in one place.

• The store and in-person point of sale
• Forms and the inbox, and bookings
• The CRM, for the leads, contacts, companies and deals every site captures
• Email campaigns and A/B tests
• The media library, workflows and analytics

All of it is part of the platform and reads one data layer. A form files a lead, a sign-up a subscriber and an order a customer, automatically. There are no plugins to buy to run the business, and nothing to export: the page you design is the page your visitors get.

A website should come with the business behind it.

One console for every site

The console that runs one free site also runs an agency's client portfolio or a company's brands. Each client site sits under one organization, with org roles for your team and collaborator seats for clients, so a client sees only their own site. On a Custom plan, published sites, the console your clients sign into and every transactional email carry your brand.

Open source, and yours

Aglyn is Apache-2.0 and public on GitHub. You can read the source, self-host it with Docker, and extend it with plugins, a REST API and webhooks. None of that changed with 1.0.

What 1.0 means

The platform is released. Plans and what's included in each are the ones on our pricing page.

Aglyn keeps shipping the way it has every week, and you can follow along on the changelog and in What's new. A feature that's new and still changing carries a Beta label of its own in the console and the docs, and the label comes off when it settles.

What's next

Our native apps for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android are in testing, and we'll announce them when they reach the stores.

Thank you to everyone who joined during early access and told us what they needed. If you haven't tried Aglyn yet, describe your website and see the first draft. It's free to start.
