Your design. Their content. No compromises.
Keep full control over the HTML and CSS. Give clients a clean admin where they edit content — not your layout. And skip the separate frontend stack entirely, because rendering is built in.
You design something beautiful, and then a CMS makes you fight for every pixel — or the client edits one heading and the whole layout falls apart. Neleto gives you the control and gives them safe boundaries.
Built the way designers work
Full control where you want it, safe boundaries where clients need them, and none of the frontend plumbing you don't want to maintain.
Pixel-level HTML and CSS control
Work directly with markup in the builder's Design and Code tabs — Handlebars templates, JavaScript, and CSS. No abstraction layer, no framework lock-in.
Clients edit content, not layout
A clean, component-based admin lets clients update text, images, and posts within the boundaries you define — so your design stays intact.
No frontend framework to maintain
Rendering is built in. No Next.js, Nuxt, or deployment pipeline — you design and ship the whole site in one place.
Reusable components and layouts
Build a component once with typed properties and reuse it across pages and clients. Your design system, encoded once.
Fast pages, happy clients
A Rust backend with built-in caching keeps pages fast for strong Core Web Vitals, plus per-page Open Graph and meta controls for clean social previews.
An AI pair for the tedious parts
Connect Claude in a few clicks to scaffold sections, turn static HTML into editable components, and migrate old content — while you focus on the design.
From design to handoff
Design
Bring your own HTML and CSS or build visually in the editor, then wire it up with reusable components and layouts.
Make it editable
Turn the design into components with typed fields, so every editable area is exactly where you decide — and nowhere else.
Hand off
The client maintains their own content on fast, GDPR-hosted infrastructure. You move on to the next project.
“Once it's set up, I can easily maintain my website myself. Neleto really is easy to use and the design is appealing — I can only recommend it.”

Designer questions, answered
Do I keep full control over the HTML and CSS?
Yes. The builder's Design and Code tabs give you direct access to page and layout templates, scripts, and styles — no abstraction layer between you and the markup.
Do I need Next.js, Nuxt, or a separate frontend?
No. Neleto renders your pages directly. You design and host the whole site in one place, with a REST API available if you ever want to pull content elsewhere.
Will clients be able to break my layout?
No. Components and role-based access keep clients editing content within the boundaries you set, so the structure and styling stay intact.
Can I reuse my design system across projects?
Yes. Components and layouts with typed properties are reusable across pages and clients, so you build your system once and apply it everywhere.
Can I convert an existing static HTML site?
Yes. Build components straight from your markup, and use the built-in WordPress importer to bring existing content across.
