Every package Silex depends on, ranked by repo health score.

Silex is a free, libre visual website builder maintained by Silex Labs, a French non-profit. It lets designers and developers create websites visually using a GrapesJS-based drag-and-drop editor, then export clean, standards-compliant HTML and CSS that can be hosted on any platform — no proprietary formats, no forced hosting, no vendor lock-in.

At its core, Silex bridges the gap between no-code visual design and real web standards. You design visually, but every output is plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that you own entirely. The tool integrates with headless CMS platforms (WordPress, Strapi, Squidex, Supabase) via GraphQL, and pairs with 11ty (Eleventy) for generating full static sites with dynamic CMS-driven content.

Silex is structured as a meta-monorepo of 24 independently versioned packages, including the core Node.js library, a plugin system, GrapesJS extensions for fonts, symbols, data sources, CSS variables, and an upcoming Tauri-based desktop application with an integrated MCP server for AI-assisted design. The platform is free forever under AGPL, with all features included and no premium tier.

With over 23,000 accounts created and 1,000+ weekly users, Silex has been community-maintained since 2009. It targets web agencies, WordPress developers, and freelance designers who need Webflow-level visual control without the subscription costs or proprietary formats.
