5 reasons to use Semplice for your portfolio
We’d share 10 reasons, but you’ll decide for yourself anyway. That’s what we like about you.
COMPLETE FREEDOM
Create based on your own designs
Semplice is not a template. It’s grid-based so you can design on your own, then build it exactly how you want it. No coding knowledge required.
TOTAL OWNERSHIP
Full control, full privacy
Semplice is self-hosted, open-source software. You have the freedom to choose your host and manage your site. We don’t have your data. We don’t see your visitors. We don’t interfere with your content.
NO SUBSCRIPTIONS
One-time payment
Semplice does not require a subscription. We’re a bit old fashioned that way. If you don’t want to pay monthly, you can buy it once and it’s yours forever.
INTUITIVE & EFFECIENT
Built by and for designers
We are a team of designers, which is why we build the best product for them. We know you care about the details because we do too. We understand your workflow because we’re in it every day. Our CMS is beautiful and intuitive because we know you expect nothing less.
BUILDING WITH PRIDE TOGETHER
You’re part of the family.
Semplice is an independent company funded only by our members. We do this for you, not for shareholders. When you use Semplice, you join a creative community that builds with pride.
