Nib
Essays set like a book, with drawings that draw themselves. Free.
A title page whose pen-and-ink drawing inks itself in, essays with a drop cap and a margin note, a contents list, books with a signed copy by post, an about page for letters and readings, and the letter. Lighthouse 100 out of the box.

AI ready · MCP
Your AI agent knows Nib
AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md and Cursor rules explain how the site is built. The WPTom MCP server goes further: Cursor, Claude Code, VS Code, PhpStorm and the other JetBrains IDEs, Codex or OpenCode look up what they need instead of guessing, so their edits fit the first time.
- Every componentprops and docs of all 30, from your project
- Your versionwhich template, version and variant, and when an update is out
- The docssearches docs.wptom.com while it works
$ npx -y wptom mcpContent where you want it
Books, essays and legal pages and every text are typed content, edited in Keystatic, Sanity or EmDash. Pick EmDash with --cms emdash.
Updates keep your edits
npx wptom update merges each new version around your changes, line by line, and marks the rare conflict.
Ready for more languages
Ships in English. Add a language in one file and translate the content: Nib adds the language switcher, hreflang links and a sitemap per language, and Keystatic, Sanity and EmDash follow.
Search built in
Press ⌘K and search every page, books and essays included, with no service to set up. Switch to Algolia when you outgrow it.
Make it yours in minutes.
One file holds your brand: three colors, fonts, corners. Every shade for both themes comes from it, and the build stops if a color would be hard to read.
Try accents in the preview above, or live in the demo (opens in a new tab).

Website questions
What does it cost?
$99 a year, which comes to $8.25 a month. That covers the design, setup, hosting, the first year of a new domain, your own editor, and design changes and new features built by me. Tomáš Šrámek is not a VAT payer, so there is no tax on top.
When do I pay?
Once you have seen your site and it is right for you. You pay for the year by card, it renews yearly, and you get an invoice by email for every payment.
How do changes work?
Texts, photos, prices, opening hours and posts you can change yourself in your editor, any time, or email them to me. A new look, new pages or new features, such as booking, a shop or a newsletter, I build for you as part of the service: we agree what and when, and there is no extra bill.
Do I need a domain?
No need to buy one yourself. I register a domain for you through Cloudflare, with you as its owner, and the first year is included for common endings such as .com, .net or .org. From the second year it renews at cost, with no markup, together with your yearly payment. Already have a domain? Keep it and I connect it. Or start on a free yourname.wptom.page address.
Do I own my content?
Yes: your texts, photos and domain are yours. If you leave, you get your content back, and a domain I registered for you moves to you at no charge.
What if I want to stop?
Email me any time before your yearly renewal. Your site stays online until the end of the year you paid for, and you are not charged again. You get your texts and photos on request.
Will my site look like one of your designs?
No. Every site is an original, designed and built for your business. My designs and the sites you send me are only a starting point for the look you want.
Can I edit the site myself?
Yes. Every site comes with its own editor, EmDash, in your browser: change texts, photos, prices and posts and publish them in a click. You sign in with your fingerprint or face, no password. Prefer not to? Email me and I do it.
