The Problem Nobody Solved
Modern stacks are fast, beautiful.
The Scenario
You are a developer. You have built a gorgeous restaurant website — fast, modern, deployed on Cloudflare Pages. The client loves it. Then they ask: "How do I update the menu du jour?"
Now what? You become the bottleneck. Every small change goes through you. "Hey, can you update the soup of the day?" becomes your daily notification.
With A3lix, the restaurant owner texts her change to a Telegram bot. The site updates. You are not involved. Everyone is happy.
Why Not Another CMS?
"I do not want to do every little change for the customer" — this is what web developers started saying when they moved away from WordPress in early 2026. Gutenberg was a nice try, but letting your restaurant owner edit anything in WordPress is a recipe for disaster and support calls you cannot imagine.
Modern stacks work better with AI. Creating layouts and beautiful designs with AI is simpler than fighting with Gutenberg or any commercial page builder. Performance is better. Developer experience is better. Everything is better — except the CMS part.
I build my designs and web projects 95% in a chat with AI. Why not have the CMS working the same way?
A Personal Note
I shut down RichWP — a WordPress theme business I had built since 2010 — for good. Yes, I was a die-hard WordPress guy. But it got harder and harder to justify using it.
Pretty much on the same day I shut it down, I had this idea: what if the CMS was just a conversation? What if updating your site was as simple as texting someone?
That is how A3lix started.
What is Next
A lot still has to be done before v1.0. Right now, simple changes on Cloudflare work well. The roadmap includes:
- —More complex content changes
- —Preview mode for reviewing changes before they go live
- —GitHub Pages support
- —Other static hosts (Netlify, Vercel, etc.)
- —SSH deploys for traditional web hosts

By the way — if you are building an e-commerce site or something complex, you can still use A3lix. It just sits on top of your stack. No limits. Just an AI layer to handle simple CMS tasks, or more complex ones as we progress.
Why the name?
I wanted a short domain. I am Canadian, honey. Our names do not mean shit.
