Overview

Nordcraft is a visual website builder that pairs a drag-and-drop design editor with an AI agent that reads and edits your project on request. It covers styling, keyframe animation, pages, components, formulas, workflows and variables, and connects to any API, CMS or GraphQL backend so you design against live data. Hosting, server-side rendering, version control and branch previews are built in.

Best for: Creative studios and web developers who want a visual builder with AI edits and no seat pricing.
Pricing: Free tier with Nordcraft branding, Pro from $9 per project per month including 100K requests, Enterprise on contact sales, and a free self-hosted option, with AI credit packs at $10 for 200, $25 for 500 and $100 for 2000 credits.
Runs on: Self-hosted
