What is Arc CMS?
Arc CMS is an Open Source CMS that injects superpowers into any HTML—waitlists, viral referrals, email automation, blogging, and analytics. Your static page becomes a growth engine. Almost free. You own everything.
The Founder's Paradox
You need these tools to prove that someone wants your product. Waitlists show demand. Referrals prove value. Email keeps them engaged. Without them, your landing page is just a pretty poster. But here's the catch... Validation tools cost $500+ per year. Before you've made a single dollar. Before you know if your idea even works.
The Traditional Stack
You've built a beautiful landing page. To make it actually work:
Five different tools. Five logins. Five billing cycles. One expensive experiment.
The Arc CMS Solution
Drop in your HTML. Instantly get all the growth tools you need to succeed:
Same superpowers. Unbeatable value. You own everything.
Inject Superpowers.
Pay Nothing.
Arc CMS gives your static HTML everything it needs. Deploy once. Own forever.
