Barebone was created by people tired of overdesigned, feature-bloated tools. We set out to build the simplest possible way to put content online.
Our story
In 2024, two designers left their agency jobs with a single conviction: the web had become too noisy. Every website builder wanted to add more — more templates, more widgets, more options. The result? Sites that all looked the same and took forever to load.
Barebone takes the opposite approach. We started with a blank page and only added what was absolutely necessary. A clean editor. Beautiful typography. Fast hosting. That's it.
Today, over 12,000 creators use Barebone to publish writing, portfolios, and personal sites that feel genuinely theirs. No cookie-cutter templates. No feature creep. Just content, presented beautifully.
Principles
Every feature we don't build is a feature you don't have to learn.
A fast site is a better experience than a pretty one. We optimize for both.
Your words and images are the point. Everything else should be invisible.
Your content is yours. Export anytime. No lock-in. No tricks.
Team
We're a small team and we like it that way. But we're always open to exceptional people.
