“Add a pricing page with three tiers and a monthly/annual toggle.”
The page agent composes a real, structured page from curated sections — no page-builder sprawl. Every change renders live before it ships.
Page studioFeatures
Every CMS lets you edit. Atelier lets you ask.
The whole CMS runs on conversation — you say what you want, and a human approves what ships.
Translation, branding, a media library, SEO, image generation, menus — most builders bury these in admin screens you have to learn. In Atelier you just ask, watch it render live, and publish only what you approve. Self-hosted, open source, your keys.
Say it. See it. Approve it.
Real requests, real capabilities — each of these is something you type in the console today. Every one has a page in the docs if you want the detail.
Build pages
Structured pages from a sentence — no theme to wrestle.“Make the middle tier the highlighted one and move the FAQ up.”
Refine by talking — or edit any section’s fields directly in the structured editor. Same draft, re-rendered as you go.
Structured editorDesign your brand
Palette, type, and chrome — set by conversation.“Make the brand warmer and set headings in something more editorial.”
Brand studio previews whole directions — palette, type, spacing — and you publish the one you like.
Brand studio“Update the header and footer to match, and drop in our logo.”
Shape your site’s chrome — header, footer, identity — by chatting in the Globals studio, with the same preview-then-publish flow.
Globals studioA media library that works for you
Generate, reuse, and describe images — once.“Generate a hero image of a sunlit coffee roastery at dawn.”
Create and edit images just by describing them. The agent proposes; you keep or discard.
AI images“Swap our logo everywhere it appears on the site.”
One shelf for every image and reusable block — edit it once, and every page that uses it updates.
Media studio“Write alt text for the images on this page.”
Describe an image once and Atelier reuses it everywhere — accessible pages, no per-page busywork.
Alt textReach every visitor
Languages, search, and navigation — handled.“Translate the whole site into German.”
Translate pages in place and let readers switch language on the live site.
Translation“Write the SEO title, meta description, and social card for this page.”
Edit your search result and social card — and preview the real thing before you publish.
SEO & presence“Add an About link to the main menu, nested under Company.”
Manage navigation yourself — links that track your pages and nest as deep as you like, published site-wide.
Menus & navigationIt’s yours, end to end
Take your data anywhere. Nothing phones home.“Export the whole site as static files I can host anywhere.”
Take your site with you as plain files — you always own your data, no lock-in.
Static export“Send password resets over our own SMTP server.”
Transactional email — resets, account and update notices — through a transport you choose: log-only, SMTP, or an API provider.
EmailAnd a human always approves.
The agent proposes; you dispose. Nothing touches your live site until you press Publish — and Atelier gives you the tools to review with confidence.
Draft, then publish
The agent works on a draft and shows a live preview. Your public site changes only when you press Publish. The approval model
Know what to fix
Checks surfaces what’s holding a page back and stages the repair into your draft for approval. Checks
A history to fall back on
Save without going live, move pages through review, and roll back to any earlier revision. Editorial workflow
One task per thread
Each job lives in its own conversation, so your work never gets tangled. Threads
No silent overwrites
Atelier hands one person the pen per page, so edits never clobber a teammate’s work. Collaboration
