Introducing an easier way to create dynamic websites

A website engine for web designers

Silk makes it easy to create stunning standards-based dynamic websites without having to get involved in the technicalities of programming, installing or maintaining any server-side software. Just design each website as usual, then follow our easy Design Integration Guide to provide your clients with simple content management features and unrivaled flexibility for the future.

Unlimited Creativity

Design your websites as normal using tools you already know (like Photoshop and Dreamweaver) then drop Silk's elegant, AJAX-rich interface right into your design - no matter how unconventional it is! Silk is completely unbranded and lets you easily change colors and fonts until everything blends together beautifully.

Keep your content fresh!

Silk comes with simple elegant tools your client can use to keep their website up-to-date and search engine friendly at all times. The intuitive editing interface takes minutes to learn and feels instantly familiar to non-technical users. There's nothing to install and no restrictions on how much you can create.

Power under the hood

Silk comes with everything you need to create and update web pages, but now and again your clients will ask for something special. Thankfully they won't be disappointed. Add features from our Recipe Guide or; or, if you're a Rails developer, extend Silk with all the power of a normal Rails application.

Create more. Stress less.

Spend more time doing the work you love by removing the tedious technical tasks that slow you down. Silk websites are hosted by Aconix on the world's best infrastructure at Rackspace. We manage everything from setup to scalability so you'll never have to extract another software package or upgrade another database again.

Lovingly supported

Silk is a remarkable product for remarkable websites, yet it is our obsession with customer satisfaction which really sets us apart. As the designers and developers of both Silk and the hosting platform, you can be sure we will never stop going that extra mile to deliver expert support and friendly advice.
