// The CMS built for developers

Your HTML.
Your Rules.

Drop any static HTML template into Homeplate and it becomes a fully functional CMS — with dynamic content blocks, smart data structures, routing, and forms. No rebuilds. No lock-in. No proprietary markup.

// 01 — how it works

From HTML to CMS
in three steps

Bring your HTML

Upload or connect any standard HTML website. Homeplate treats your existing markup as the template — no rewriting, no special framework required.

Embed your blocks

Drop {{block:name}} anywhere in your HTML for editable content, and {{include:file.html}} to compose reusable partials like headers and footers.

Publish with confidence

Your team edits content in a clean dashboard. Your HTML renders exactly as designed. Changes go live instantly or through your preferred workflow.

// your-site/index.html

file:///your-site/index.html

1 <!DOCTYPE html>
2 <html>
3   <body>
4     <h1>My Website</h1>
5     <p>Hello world</p>
6   </body>
7 </html>

Standard HTML — no special syntax needed

// embedding blocks & includes

file:///your-site/index.html

1 {{include:header.html}}
2 <h1>{{block:hero_title}}</h1>
3 <p>{{block:intro_text}}</p>
4 <div class="products">{{data:view:products}}</div>
5 {{include:footer.html}}

Inline blocks + reusable includes

Everything a developer needs

Homeplate was built by developers who were tired of wrestling CMSes that wanted to own their codebase.

📄

HTML as Template

Any valid HTML file becomes a CMS template. No proprietary templating language to learn. Your markup stays yours.

✏️

Content Blocks

Embed {{block:name}} anywhere in your HTML. Rich text, images, markdown — your choice, rendered inline.

🗄️

Data Blocks

Define schemas for complex data. Products, team members, blog posts — structured collections that render into your HTML templates.

🧩

HTML Includes

Compose reusable partials with {{{include:file.html}}. Share headers, footers, and nav across every page with a single line.

🛡️

Form Captcha & Routing

Drop a Homeplate form tag into any HTML form. Captcha verification, spam filtering, and email delivery are handled automatically — zero backend code.

⚡

Automatic SEO

Homeplate automatically generates meta tags, title tags, and Open Graph tags for your pages. No more manual SEO work.

🔐

Role-Based Access

Developers control the schema. Content editors get a clean UI. Admins manage it all. Granular permissions built in.

🔌

REST API

Every content block and data collection is accessible via a clean REST API. Build headless, or server-render — it's your call.

🪝

Webhooks

Trigger builds, notify Slack, sync external systems. Content lifecycle events fire webhooks so your stack stays in sync.

// data blocks

Complex data.
Simple schemas.

Define a product schema once. Your HTML template loops over it. Editors add products through a clean UI. No database configuration required.

// form captcha

Forms that work.
Out of the box.

Drop a Homeplate action into any existing HTML form. Captcha verification, spam detection, and email routing happen automatically — no server, no backend, no configuration.

🤖

Automatic Captcha

Bot detection built in — no API keys, no third-party scripts to configure.

📧

Email Delivery

Submissions routed to any email address. Configure recipients per form.

📋

Submission Inbox

Every form submission stored in your Homeplate dashboard. Filter, export, review.

// contact.html — that's all you need

contact.html

1 <form action="{{form}}">

5   <input name="name" />
6   <input name="email" />
7   <textarea name="message"></textarea>
