Get a Lead-Collecting Landing Page, Free
I'm setting up Arc CMS for 100 early-stage founders. A landing page with built-in waitlist, referrals, email automation, and analytics. Completely free. No subscription. No catch.
A landing page with a waitlist is the fastest way to validate your idea. Arc CMS turns a simple HTML page into a lead-collection engine: waitlist, referral system, email automation, analytics, SEO blog. All running on your own Firebase. And it's open source.
I don't need anything from you except honest feedback. I make my living from consulting. This is me giving back to the startup community.
Create Your Landing Page
Use any AI tool (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to generate a landing page for your startup. I'll send you a sample prompt that works well.
Set Up Firebase (Free)
Create a free Firebase account and upgrade to the Blaze plan. The free tier is generous. You're only billed if you scale to thousands of users.
Share Access with Me
Add me as an editor on your Firebase project temporarily so I can deploy everything. You can remove my access right after.
You're Live!
I set up Arc CMS on your Firebase, deploy your page, and configure the waitlist, analytics, and email system. You own everything.

Perfect for: Pre-revenue founders testing an idea · Side-project builders who need a live page this weekend · Anyone who wants to validate before they build
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Yes. Arc CMS is 100% open source. The software costs nothing. You only pay for Firebase hosting, which is free for most validation-stage startups. Even at scale, costs are pennies compared to traditional SaaS tools.
No. You can follow our step-by-step setup guide, or join the 100 Founders program where we set everything up for you. Many founders use AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude to generate their landing page HTML.
Nothing changes for you. Arc CMS runs entirely on your Firebase project. You own the code, the data, and the infrastructure. Even if the project stopped being maintained, your site continues to work.
Yes. Firebase supports custom domains for free. Connect your domain in the Firebase console and your site is live on your own URL with automatic SSL certificates.
With those tools, you're renting someone else's platform. With Arc CMS, you own the infrastructure. No recurring fees, no vendor lock-in, and you get waitlists, referrals, email automation, blogging, and analytics all in one. For free.
There is no catch. Arc CMS is an open source project by Quadralyst. We make our living from consulting. This is us giving back to the startup community.
Firebase's free tier (Spark plan) handles thousands of reads/writes per day. The Blaze plan (pay-as-you-go) scales to hundreds of thousands, and you're only billed for what you use beyond the free tier. For validation-stage startups, costs are typically under $1/month.
Absolutely. Arc CMS works with any HTML. Use AI tools to generate your page, hire a designer, use a template, or hand-code your own. Your design, your brand, your rules.
Your data lives in your own Firebase project, backed by Google's enterprise-grade security infrastructure. You control access, and Firestore security rules protect your data by default.
