Webstudio

Webstudio is an independent open source SaaS company founded in 2022 by Oleg Isonen, a former engineer at Webflow. The company was established with the vision of creating a modern, open source alternative to proprietary website builders. Its platform is designed to empower creators by providing private, transparent hosting and enabling users to build fast, maintainable, and standards-compliant websites without requiring extensive coding knowledge. Webstudio emphasizes privacy, transparency, and active community involvement, which is evident through its public roadmap and its open core platform extensibility.

The company operates primarily as a bootstrapped startup without public funding and offers an open core business model. Its main offerings include the Webstudio open source website builder, along with several proprietary premium features such as the Animation Engine and Marketplace. Additionally, Webstudio is developing an AI-based design tool named Inception. The company’s target market consists of web designers, front-end developers, freelancers, agencies, open source communities, and small to medium-sized businesses seeking efficient and maintainable website solutions. Although headquartered location is not publicly disclosed, Webstudio’s team collaborates openly through channels like GitHub and Discord.

No official social media presence under the company name is available, reflecting its decentralized and community-driven operational approach. Webstudio functions independently without a parent company or subsidiaries. Its development focus on an open source SaaS model aims to democratize advanced front-end web development and offer a transparent alternative in the website building space.
