Techniques that have been trivially easy for 30 years in graphics software are still impossible in most website builders.

Svija brings that power to the internet for the first time.

Svija is a set of tools for building websites using Adobe Illustrator — using SVG instead of HTML.

Check out an example at https://svija.love — our own website was built entirely in Adobe Illustrator!

Why use Svija? Dramatically augmented speed & creativity:

★ Speed

• SVG-based sites load incredibly fast compared to HTML
• Illustrator file changes are visible in real time in the browser
• no testing needed — what you design is what visitors see
• update and move pages, headers and menus instantly

★ Creativity

• the power of Illustrator's curves, gradients and transparency
• giant, colorful images fill the page (and still load instantaneously)
• none of the design limitations of HTML/CSS
• 100% of your time is spent creating instead of debugging

After visiting a Svija website, an HTML-based website feels:

• small
• boring
• sloppy

After building an Svija website, building an HTML-based website feels:

• frustrating
• archaic
• slow

Managing your website is incredibly easy:

★ Website settings

• configure page and menu sizes for any number of devices
• designed from the ground up to serve multiple languages
• search-engine visibility, server parameters and more

★ Page settings

• manage SEO titles & important content
• page widths and margins, globally or individually
• choose which menus, headers etc. will be shown for each page
• choose which Illustrator source files will be used

We were on Hacker News this week!

A big welcome to all the new users — we can't wait to see what you'll do with Svija.

• Page load felt a bit sluggish on even a fast device; but on review I think the massive background JPEG at the top (4000×8047!) was a large part of this: you should have an approximation of it (background colour plus radial gradient) underneath it so that its potentially slow loading and renderi...

I just wanted to thank everyone for your incredible support as we roll out the beta program!

Here's some feedback from one the first users:

"Good evening — I've been using Svija all day, and it's the best. If only I could use it at work, it would change my life ;-) I pretty much figured it all out — I wrote down some of the issues I found and we can talk about it tomorrow. Thanks for letting me test Svija, I really hope it takes off!
