What would you change?

Backbone doesn’t just answer. It creates a real implementation plan for the website you already own.

Create a landing page.

Backbone will: Reads your design system and prepares a landing page that fits the website you already own.

How it works

Talk To Your Website. Not Your Developer.

A connected workflow where every change stays reviewable from first prompt to publish.

  1. 1

    Describe the change.

    Plain English, screenshots, URLs, or images — tell Backbone the outcome you need.

  2. 2

    Backbone learns your site.

    Theme, builder, content, brand, and plugins are understood before a single change begins.

  3. 3

    Preview everything.

    Backbone builds a safe preview. Nothing touches production while you review.

  4. 4

    Approve. Publish.

    Publish when you are ready, with version history and rollback available anytime.

Built for existing websites

It Learns Your Website Before It Changes It.

Backbone studies how your WordPress website is structured before generating a change, so changes fit your website rather than forcing a generic layout onto it.

  • Theme and child-theme structure
  • Global styles and design tokens
  • WordPress templates
  • Native blocks and patterns
  • Pages, posts, and content types
  • Custom fields and structured content
  • Reusable components and active plugins
  • Custom code and hosting requirements
  • Version history and site permissions

Not every WordPress website is structured the same way. Your free 14-day trial determines whether your current theme, plugins, and content architecture are compatible with Backbone before migration begins — including migration complexity and any features that need expert review.

Real WordPress sites. Real change requests. Reviewed before anything goes live.

Controlled AI

AI Shouldn’t Guess. It Should Ask.

Every request follows the same reviewable workflow. No AI edits go live automatically. Ever.

1Prompt2Plan3Preview4Review5Approve6Publish

Nothing publishes without approval

Every change waits for an explicit go-ahead before it touches production.

Safe preview environment

Review changes in an isolated preview that mirrors your live site.

Git-backed version history

Each change is a version you can inspect, compare, and revert.

Automatic backups

Backups are captured before anything goes live — no manual steps.

Production rollback

Restore a previous version in moments if something looks off.

Human review for risky changes

Elevated-risk requests pause for a WordPress expert to review.

Human in the loop

AI speed, with human judgment when it matters.

Backbone handles supported changes automatically. When a request is risky, ambiguous, or outside the site's capabilities, it pauses and brings in a WordPress expert rather than guessing.

Compatibility

Supported WordPress environments.

Backbone works best with WordPress websites built using native, structured, and maintainable WordPress components. Every website is assessed before AI editing is enabled.

Best supported

Ready for your free trial and AI-assisted changes

  • WordPress block editor and Gutenberg blocks
  • Block themes
  • Classic, child, and custom WordPress themes
  • Native WordPress templates
  • Reusable blocks and patterns
  • Standard pages, posts, and structured custom fields
  • WooCommerce and ecommerce data
  • Common WordPress plugins

Available after trial review

Supported once the trial confirms fit

  • Page-builder websites (layout data may need restructuring)
  • Membership websites
  • Advanced form integrations
  • Custom plugin functionality
  • Highly customized themes
  • Legacy WordPress websites
  • Complex third-party integrations

Compatibility depends less on how advanced the website is and more on how its pages, layouts, and content are stored. Every site is assessed before managed AI editing and publishing is enabled.

Proof

Confidence you can feel from the first preview.

Teams using Backbone ship content updates faster — with fewer errors and no developer bottleneck.

We stopped waiting on a developer for every small change. Previews mean we can move fast and still feel safe about what goes live.

Revisions used to be a whole ticket cycle. Now we just describe what we want and review the result in minutes.

AI usage

Simple, Transparent AI Usage

Every managed website includes $5 in monthly AI usage.

AI usage is based on the actual work performed. Small text changes may use very little, while full-page generation or complex website changes may require more.

AI usage is separate from hosting, previews, backups, publishing, and rollback, which are included in the managed-site subscription.
