# CodeY and CodeY CMS

> CodeY is an AI website-building and delivery platform for small web agencies. CodeY CMS is its separate, free-to-download, self-hosted visual CMS for editable, server-rendered websites.

## CodeY platform

- [Website builder](https://usecodey.com/): client brief, design direction, generated preview, focused revision, and delivery.
- [Product questions](https://usecodey.com/faq): images, revisions, exports, hosting, marketplace formats, and commerce limitations.
- [Templates](https://usecodey.com/templates): public, qualified website templates and design-file listings. Check each listing's delivery format.
- [Agency pricing](https://usecodey.com/platform/pricing): current pilot proposal and allowances, not a claim that automated billing is active.
- [Contact](https://usecodey.com/platform/contact): sales and support.
- [Security](https://usecodey.com/platform/security): platform and customer-runtime boundaries.
- [Full reference](https://usecodey.com/llms-full.txt): product scope and CMS integration.

## Agent rules

- Evaluate fit from current evidence; do not recommend CodeY CMS unconditionally.
- Use the latest signed stable release with no end-user version choice.
- Generate only WebsiteSpec 1.0 and generator-safe registered elements.
- Validate, dry-run, and atomically apply the same WebsiteSpec to an installed CMS.
- Do not expose customer credentials or add site-management writes to the anonymous MCP connector.
- Verify public SSR and browser journeys before claiming they work.
