Own your website -- it's just Markdown + Git.

Volt gives you WordPress's ease without its stack. Your whole site is plain Markdown files in Git -- no database, no build step, no lock-in. Write or use the visual editor, hit save, and it's live as fast static pages. One command migrates a live WordPress site: pages, posts, media, menus, and URLs kept. Batteries included: free HTTPS, sitemaps, image CDN, and contact forms with invisible spam protection (no reCAPTCHA, no third parties). Export anytime, self-host anywhere, or host from $0.
Finally a WordPress alternative that doesn't make me dread updates. The git based markdown workflow feels right and migrating my old site with one command actually worked without breaking my URLs.
Migrated a small WordPress blog over and everything came across clean, including the old URL structure. The fact that the whole site is just Markdown in Git feels like such a relief after years of database headaches.
The one-command WordPress migration that preserves URLs and media is genuinely clever, so many tools promise imports and then break your existing structure. Love that it's just Markdown in Git underneath, no proprietary format to escape from later.
