Who Siter.io is for

Two ways in: by what you make, or by how you work. Both routes end at the same honest answer about what this tool does and does not do.

What every one of them shares.

Whichever door you came in through, this is the same underneath.

  • The Figma file is the source

    The design you have already made is what gets published, on every plan including the free one. The import runs one way with no re-sync, so the working method is to keep designing in Figma and send frames across rather than round-tripping between two editors.

  • Hosting, a domain, and going live

    Hosting is included on every plan, and a domain you already own points at the site on any paid plan at no extra cost. An SSL certificate is listed as included on every plan, though whether one is issued automatically for a custom domain is not documented. The free plan previews privately and cannot publish to a public URL, so a live site starts at $7 a month billed yearly.

  • Metered by site, not by seat alone

    Solo publishes one site, Plus three, Pro five, and extra sites cost $4, $6 and $8 a month on those plans. Editor seats are metered the same way at 2, 4 and 6. That arithmetic is the whole planning question for anyone running more than their own site.

  • Your type, your motion

    Upload your own font files rather than picking from a list. Components keep a site consistent as it grows, version history covers the mistakes, and on-canvas animation happens in Siter.io itself - Figma prototype interactions do not come across.

Who this is not for.

Putting this near the top of a marketing page is unusual. It is here because the four gaps below disqualify a large number of perfectly reasonable projects, and finding that out after you have paid and rebuilt a site is a worse experience than reading it now.

  • You need a blog or a content system. There is no CMS. Pages are designed, not generated from entries, so a site that publishes regularly means editing the design every time. If your site is mostly writing, this is the wrong tool.
  • You need to sell something. There is no e-commerce; it is listed as upcoming with no date. A photographer selling prints, an artist selling work, or a shop of any kind needs the transaction to happen on a platform built for it, with this site linking out to it.
  • You need a second language. Multiple languages are not supported.
  • You need several people editing at once. Real-time co-editing is listed as upcoming. Teammate roles and version history exist, but the simultaneous editing you are used to in Figma stays in Figma.

One more that is less obvious and catches people out: layout works to three fixed breakpoints rather than fluidly. For most portfolio and marketing sites that is plenty, and it makes the result predictable. For a design that needs to reflow continuously across every width, it is a real constraint, and how the breakpoints work is worth reading before you commit.

If none of those is a problem, the rest of the site is the detail: how the Figma import works, what is in each plan, what it costs, and how it compares to the alternatives.

  • Figma plus Siter.io

    Start with the design you already have.

    Install the Figma plugin, send a frame across, and finish it on the canvas. The free plan builds and previews as much as you like; publishing to your own domain starts at $7/mo billed yearly.
