The editing tool included with every site
Caret CMS
Update your own website by clicking the text and typing — no dashboard to learn, nothing to subscribe to.
The story
Letting you edit your own website usually means one of two trade-offs. The popular platforms are powerful, but they're a constant upkeep and security headache. The easy hosted options charge a monthly fee and keep your content locked behind someone else's account.
Caret is a visual editor built right into the site. You click the text or image you want to change, type, and save — directly on the live page. There's no separate dashboard to learn and nothing to subscribe to.
It comes with every site at no extra cost. You stay in control of your content, owe nothing each month, and never have to call a developer just to fix a typo.
