Old school
WordPress
- Themes, plugins, and updates to maintain
- Clients edit in a page builder (and break layouts)
- Doesn't fit sites built with code
For developers building client sites with AI
Let clients update their content. Without coming back to you.
Give clients a simple place to update menus, photos, listings, and events. You build the site. They handle the everyday changes.
- Clients only see their own site

The hard-code tax
Your AI wrote 4,000 lines of code. It didn't write a CMS.
AI made building client sites fast. It didn't solve what happens after launch. The menu is an array in a component, so every “quick change” becomes a code edit, a commit, and a redeploy.
That's the hard-code tax. Dropl ends it.

Too much, too heavy, just right
You don't need WordPress. You need your client to change the menu.

- A simple portal, even on their phone
- Sized for menus, listings, galleries, and events

FAQ
Questions from developers
Straight answers about collections, AI setup, clients, and what's live today.
Is Dropl a headless CMS?
Sort of, minus the weight. Dropl manages the content that changes after launch (lists like menus and inventory, galleries, and video) and serves it to your site through an API or embeds. No page builder, no complex setup. It's built for handing a code-built site to a client.
Do I have to use AI to use Dropl?
No. Everything works through the dashboard, API, and embeds. AI just makes setup faster: your assistant can do it in one conversation through our MCP server.
Can I change what my AI assistant built?
Yes. Every collection, field, and item the AI creates is fully editable in the Dropl dashboard, and your assistant reads the current version before it changes anything.
Can the AI break or delete my client's content?
Not by accident. Your assistant shows you a plan before it creates anything, and removing fields or collections needs explicit confirmation. You can also give an API key access to items only, so it can't change structure.
Which AI tools does it work with?
Any tool that supports MCP, including Cursor and Claude Code. See the setup guide in the docs.
Do my clients need to be technical?
No. They get a simple portal, even on their phone, and only ever see their own site.
Does it work with WordPress, Webflow, or Framer?
Yes. Embeds work on all three, and Feedback installs with one script tag. A Dropl plugin for the WordPress.org directory and WordPress blocks for showcases and collections are coming soon. Dropl is built first for sites written in code, especially Next.js.
What happens if a client leaves?
Client handoff is coming soon: transfer a client's site to their own Dropl account, archive it, or export everything. Until it ships, contact us and we'll help you move a client.
What can my clients edit?
Collections (menus, inventory, events, and any custom list), showcases, and video. Reviews are coming soon.
What about changes clients can't make themselves?
That's Feedback. Your client taps the thing on their live site and asks, and you get the page, element, screenshot, and device. Your AI assistant can work through the requests over MCP. Included on Freelancer, Studio, and Agency. Not on Solo.
Do you charge per seat?
No. Pricing is per client site.
