Volt gives you WordPress's ease without its stack. Your whole site is plain Markdown files in Git -- no database, no build step, no lock-in. Write or use the visual editor, hit save, and it's live as fast static pages. One command migrates a live WordPress site: pages, posts, media, menus, and URLs kept. Batteries included: free HTTPS, sitemaps, image CDN, and contact forms with invisible spam protection (no reCAPTCHA, no third parties). Export anytime, self-host anywhere, or host from $0.
I built Volt because owning a website has quietly become miserable.
WordPress runs ~43% of the web, but the deal went bad: a database, a pile of plugins, constant security patches, and a slow site — you end up maintaining a stack instead of publishing. The "easy" alternatives (Wix, Squarespace, Shopify) fix the maintenance by taking your ownership -- your content lives in their database, on their terms, and you can't take it with you. And the tech that actually solved this -- static sites, Markdown, Git -- stayed locked behind build pipelines and developers, out of reach for the people who just want a site.
We didn't think anyone should have to choose. So Volt is the ease of WordPress with the ownership of plain files and the speed of static — and none of the stack. Your whole site is Markdown in Git: no database, no build step, editable right in your browser. One command moves you off WordPress, keeping your posts, media, and original URLs. And because it's just files, it's yours — export it, self-host it, or run it anywhere, forever.
The web should be something you own, not something you rent. That's why we wrote Volt.
How does the migration handle custom WordPress plugins and themes, or does it only cover the core content like pages and posts?
How does the visual editor actually save back to the Markdown files in Git without me dealing with merge conflicts every time someone edits a page?
WordPress has always felt heavy for what I actually need, so the Git-based Markdown setup here is genuinely appealing. Migrating a live WP site in one command sounds almost too good to be true, but I like that I could just export everything and walk away if it stops working.
the migration path that preserves menus and URLs is such an underrated move, makes switching from WordPress feel almost boring in the best way.
The one-command WordPress migration that preserves URLs and media is genuinely clever, so many tools promise imports and then break your existing structure. Love that it's just Markdown in Git underneath, no proprietary format to escape from later.
How does the one-command WordPress migration handle plugins and custom post types, or does it stick to just the core content?
Migrated a small WordPress blog over and everything came across clean, including the old URL structure. The fact that the whole site is just Markdown in Git feels like such a relief after years of database headaches.
How does the one-command WordPress migration handle custom post types or ACF fields, or is it strictly limited to standard pages, posts, and media?
Finally a WordPress alternative that doesn't make me dread updates. The git based markdown workflow feels right and migrating my old site with one command actually worked without breaking my URLs.
How does the one-command migration handle custom WordPress plugins or shortcodes — do they get converted or just stripped out?
How does the one-command WordPress migration handle custom plugins or themes that aren't part of the default setup?
Migrated a small WordPress blog to test it and was surprised how clean the markdown workflow feels. The one-command import kept all my permalinks intact, which saved me from a painful redirect job.
Finally someone said it. WordPress made sense in 2008 but keeping a whole PHP stack alive for a simple blog has felt absurd for years. The one command WordPress migration is the part that actually sold me, because porting years of content is usually where these tools fall apart.
