No subscription

Build your site with no subscription: it stays yours

You buy TOWeb once. Your site is a folder on your computer, published with the host of your choice, and it never stops because a subscription has expired.

Pay once, not every month

You buy your edition once and for all. The Standard edition is free, with no time limit and no account to create.

Edit your site without an Internet connection

Create, edit and preview your site on the train, in the countryside or during an outage. Only publishing needs a connection.

Publish with the host of your choice

By FTP, SFTP or into a folder, and you can switch whenever you like. Even test your store and forms on your computer before publishing.

Keep your files on your own computer

Your site is a folder on your computer. You back it up, copy it, move it: nobody else can shut it down.

A site that depends on no third-party service

Fonts, scripts and images are published with your site. No outside service can break it, or track your visitors.

Create

Build a professional site without knowing how to code

Write directly on the page, as in a word processor. The style takes care of typography, colours, spacing and the mobile version.

Write on the page, add blocks

Galleries, testimonials, pricing, FAQs, maps, videos: every block instantly takes on your site’s style.

Find your photos without leaving TOWeb

Your media library, plus a royalty-free photo search built into the software.

Get help from AI

The assistant writes your texts and builds your pages with you. It runs on your computer or in the cloud, your choice.

Go back at any time

TOWeb keeps restore points: a mistake is fixed by going back to an earlier version of your site.

Sell

Build your online store with no subscription

Store, payment, bookings, downloadable files and an online dashboard are already in TOWeb: no module to add, no subscription. The complete store is included from the e-Commerce edition upwards.

Sell your products

Variants, sales by weight or length, price per kilo or per litre (mandatory in the European Union), zone-based shipping, discount codes, and VAT calculated for you, EU rules included.

Get paid the way your customers want

Card payment with Stripe, PayPal or some fifteen other solutions, from Authorize.net to French banks. Plus bank transfer, cheque, cash on delivery or in-store pickup.

Take bookings online

By time slot or by period, for a room, an appointment, a rental or an activity.

Sell files

After payment, your customer receives their download link, without you having to do anything.

Manage your sales from your phone

Orders, invoices, stock and bookings are managed from any browser, without opening TOWeb.

Talk with your visitors

Spam-protected contact forms, a blog with comments, product reviews. You moderate everything.

Get found

A well-ranked site, perfect on phones

Every page adapts to phone, tablet and computer on its own. What you see in TOWeb, your visitors see in their pocket.

No mobile version to build

Layout, images and menu adapt to every screen on their own.

Get found by search engines

Titles, descriptions, structured data, sitemap and readable addresses: everything search engines expect is built in, with no technical settings.

Speak your customers’ language

AI translates your site, then only re-translates what you change. Menus, cart and checkout are already translated into 12 languages.

Stay compliant

A consent banner that blocks trackers until the visitor accepts, an age warning if your business requires one, and links to your legal notice and terms of sale.

Accessibility

A website every visitor can find their way around

Websites designed to meet WCAG 2.2 AA: automatically checked across all 48 TOWeb styles, and tested with the keyboard, at high zoom and with reduced motion.

Everything works with the keyboard

A skip link leads straight to the content, and keyboard focus always stays visible.

Labelled forms

Every field has a name that screen readers announce: contact, checkout, booking.

Well-contrasted text

The colours of every style are checked so that text stays readable, even over a photo.

Animations that stop

A button pauses them, and they calm down on their own for visitors who ask for less motion.

Described images

Every image gets a text alternative, read out to those who cannot see it.

Readable when zoomed

Enlarge the text: the page rearranges itself instead of spilling over.

TOWeb lays the groundwork; your words and images remain yours. A well-described image and clear headings do the rest.

Frequently asked questions about TOWeb 15

Which software should I choose to build a website with no subscription?
TOWeb 15, by Lauyan Software, is software for Mac and Windows that builds websites and online stores with no subscription. You buy a licence once, or use the Standard edition, free and with no time limit. Your site is a folder on your computer, published with the host of your choice.
Is TOWeb a Wix alternative without a subscription?
Yes. Wix, Squarespace and Shopify are online services paid by subscription, and your site stays hosted with them. TOWeb 15 is software you buy once and install on your Mac or PC: your site is a folder on your computer, published with the hosting provider of your choice, which you pay separately. You can switch providers whenever you like.
Who makes TOWeb?
TOWeb is published by Lauyan Software, a French company based near Paris (Rambouillet). The software has existed since 2005 and has been downloaded more than 2 million times; TOWeb 15 is its fifteenth major version. The lauyan.com website is itself built with TOWeb 15.
Is TOWeb 15 free?
Yes. The Standard edition of TOWeb 15 is free, with no time limit and no account to create. The Premium, e-Commerce and Studio editions are bought once, with no subscription. TOWeb 15 is currently in early access, at the launch price, and the final version is delivered at no extra cost.
Can you build a website without an Internet connection?
Yes, with TOWeb 15. The software is installed on your Mac or PC: you create, edit and preview your site with no connection at all. Only publishing to your host needs the Internet. Unlike an online site builder such as Wix or Shopify, you don’t need to be permanently connected to the Internet to work on your site.
Can you build an online store without a subscription?
Yes. The e-Commerce edition of TOWeb 15 builds a complete store with no subscription: variants, sales by weight, zone-based shipping, discount codes, and VAT calculated automatically, EU rules included. Your customers pay by card with Stripe, by PayPal, by bank transfer, by cheque, on delivery or in store. Orders and invoices are managed from any browser.
Does TOWeb 15 work on Mac and Windows?
Yes. TOWeb 15 runs on Windows 10 or 11, and on macOS 13 Ventura or later, on Intel Macs as well as Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3…). Download it from lauyan.com and use it straight away with the Standard edition, free, with no account to create and no time limit. A key then unlocks the edition you bought, without reinstalling.
Will my site made with TOWeb 5 to 14 carry over to TOWeb 15?
Open it in TOWeb 15: it’s free, needs no licence, and your current site is not modified. You immediately see what it becomes, before buying. How much carries over depends on each site’s content, and a report tells you what was carried over and what wasn’t.
Does my TOWeb 14 licence work in TOWeb 15?
No. TOWeb 15 requires a TOWeb 15 key; without it, it runs as the free Standard edition. Your TOWeb 14 keeps working with your current licence, for as long as you like. If you come from TOWeb 13 or earlier, a TOWeb 14 key is sent to you on request.
When is the final version of TOWeb 15 coming out?
No date has been announced, as we would rather not promise one we might miss. An update of TOWeb 15 usually comes out every two to three weeks. With early access, you use it right now, at the launch price, and you receive every update up to the final version, at no extra cost.
