EmDash Agency
EmDash version 1.0 has been available since September 28, 2026, and we’re using it to build websites for Swiss companies. You can manage your content just as easily as you would in WordPress. The site is delivered via Cloudflare’s global network, without PHP and without the need for a dedicated server that someone has to maintain.
What is EmDash?
EmDash is a content management system built on the Astro web framework and developed for Cloudflare. If you’re familiar with WordPress, you’ll feel right at home: pages, posts, media, menus, categories, and widgets are all where you’d expect them to be. Under the hood, everything has been rewritten in TypeScript using state-of-the-art technology.
Your website is served from the data center closest to your visitors. That’s why it loads just as fast for someone in Zurich as it does for someone in New York.
website creation
We design and develop your website using EmDash and Astro, from the initial concept to launch. We create a design just for you, based on your brand and your goals. Finally, we show your team how to manage the content themselves.
Migrating from WordPress to EmDash
We’ll import posts, pages, media, categories, and tags from your existing WordPress site. We’ll set up clean redirects for old URLs to ensure your Google rankings are preserved. We’ll recreate any features previously provided by a WordPress plugin as an EmDash plugin or replace them with a more streamlined solution.
Plugin Development
Need a feature that doesn't exist yet? We'll develop it as a custom EmDash plugin, complete with its own admin page, dashboard widget, content block, or interface to your existing systems.
Hosting on Cloudflare
As a Cloudflare partner, we'll set up your EmDash site on Cloudflare and continue to manage it for you. We'll handle updates and backups, and if you have any questions, you can reach us 24/7.
SEO and Content
A fast website is only useful if people can find it. Our content and SEO team writes copy that ranks well on Google and ensures that your new site is properly indexed right from the start.

Here's how it works
It takes just three steps to go from the initial idea to the finished website. We'll take care of the rest.
Initial Consultation
Tell us what you want your website to do and who will maintain it in the future. If you already have a website, we'll take a look at it together and let you know what can be carried over during the migration.
Concept and Services
We'll propose a structure, features, and timeline. You'll receive a binding quote that lists all services and costs. The cost of an EmDash website depends primarily on the number of pages, the features, and the scope of the migration.
Implementation and Go-Live
We design, develop, and populate the site. You’ll see the progress in real time in a preview environment and provide feedback. Once everything looks good, we’ll go live on Cloudflare and redirect old URLs.
Whether you're creating a new website or migrating from WordPress, we'll have a quick chat to see if EmDash is a good fit for your project.
Why is EmDash worth it?
EmDash takes the best of WordPress: an intuitive editorial interface and the ability to extend its functionality with plugins. Under the hood, everything has been rewritten in TypeScript, without any PHP.
Plugins with Clear Boundaries
According to Patchstack’s 2024 security report, 96 percent of all security vulnerabilities in WordPress are found in plugins, because in WordPress, every plugin has access to the database, files, and user data. In EmDash, each plugin runs in its own isolated environment and is only allowed to do what it has previously declared.
Fast right from day one
To ensure a WordPress site loads quickly, it usually requires multiple layers of caching and regular fine-tuning. An EmDash site is delivered directly from the Cloudflare data center closest to your visitors. There’s no need for PHP updates or server maintenance.
Managing Content Without Developers
You can create new content types—such as testimonials, job postings, or events—right in the admin panel. You can edit text directly on the page, schedule posts in advance, and restore any previous version. You log in using a passkey—that is, with a fingerprint or Face ID instead of a password.
Ready for AI
EmDash comes with a built-in MCP server. This allows AI assistants like Claude or ChatGPT to read, create, and edit content with your permission. You can draft a blog post or translate text right in the chat, and the changes are automatically saved to your CMS.
Write it once, use it everywhere
EmDash stores content as structured data rather than HTML code. This means you can display the same text on a website, in an app, or in a newsletter without having to copy or reformat it.
No dependence on a single provider
EmDash works best on Cloudflare. However, it also works on your own Node.js server with SQLite or PostgreSQL. This means you can take your website and content with you at any time.
What makes us special
Your EmDash Team: What Sets Us Apart
We've been building websites with WordPress and WooCommerce for years and have already been using EmDash in our own projects. That's why we know from experience where the two systems are similar and where they differ.
We speak your language
Astro, Workers, Sandbox: You don't need to know what any of these are. We'll explain in plain language what EmDash means for your company and how it will change your day-to-day work.
We know both worlds
Because we've been developing and maintaining WordPress for years, we know exactly which content, plugins, and settings need to be included in the migration. That way, nothing that's important to you will be lost.
We'll let you know if WordPress is a better fit
If you run an online store with a large number of products, payment methods, and integrations with inventory management or shipping systems, WooCommerce is currently the more mature solution. We build both and will recommend the one that works best for your project.
We are a Cloudflare partner
EmDash is built for Cloudflare, and we've been working with Cloudflare as a partner for a long time. The setup, security, and performance of your site are in experienced hands with us.
Frequently Asked Questions About EmDash and EmDash Agencies
EmDash is an open-source CMS based on Astro that was developed for Cloudflare. Its user interface is similar to WordPress, but the underlying technology is completely new and does not require PHP.
Yes. EmDash has an import wizard for WordPress. Posts, pages, media, and categories can be imported from a WordPress export, via the WordPress API, or directly from WordPress.com. We’ll take care of redirects, design, and any missing plugin features.
Plugins run in isolated environments and are only allowed to do what they have previously declared. A vulnerability in a plugin therefore cannot take over the entire website. Added to this are Cloudflare’s security features and login via passkey instead of a password.
No. You can manage text, images, menus, and even new content types in the admin area. You can also edit text directly on the page.
EmDash is ideal for company websites, blogs, portfolios, and landing pages. For online stores with a large number of products and integrations, we still recommend WooCommerce. During our initial consultation, we’ll assess what your store needs.
