I used to host my site on WordPress. For sure, WordPress can give you all the bells and whistles you need to build anything from your first to your 500th website. But the cost starts to ratchet up once you factor in additional plugins and hosting.

So, I decided to try the Grigora lifetime deal a while back. It's a pretty intuitive website builder, and it includes newsletter capabilities, though I'm still using VBOUT for this because I don't think Grigora can generate nurture sequences yet. Hopefully that's in the pipeline, because I find VBOUT really unintuitive and clunky, even with Claude helping me.

Grigora also has an MCP connector that lets me use Claude to create and add webpages and posts. So I can use the built-in AI to help generate webpages, or I can use my Claude subscription, which I tend to do because it can generate posts by referring to my Karpathy-style wiki on my hard drive.

Recently, Grigora added new SEO and GEO analysis to help identify issues; it is in beta but already helpful.

The AI features are useful. You can easily link pages, and it can also help generate alt image text. Grigora AI can also generate blog posts (though I haven't used it for that), and it has an AI image generator, which I also haven't tried in a while because I use Nano Banana with my Gemini Workspace account. That's less convenient, but it helps me maintain brand consistency. The AI tools can also generate FAQs or turn a video into a blog post for you.

The team is very responsive to feedback and super helpful when you contact them about issues with your sites. They're also frequently building new features and improving the user interface.

It was a great deal when I bought it, and it still is.

I just wish the Grigora team would use their AI to help work on their own copy and training, because I think it could help with identifying benefits rather than features and improve their marketing. Right now, it's a super little gem but it's more of a secret than it ought to be.
