## What it is
Silex is a free/libre open-source visual website builder for creating static sites with dynamic data, built on GrapesJS. It exports standard HTML/CSS, integrates with CMSs like WordPress and Strapi via GraphQL, and can be used online, self-hosted, or as a desktop app.

## Use cases
- build a website without coding
- open source alternative to Webflow
- visually design static sites and export clean HTML/CSS
- create client sites as a freelance web designer
- bind a visual design to WordPress or Strapi content
- self-host a no-code website builder
- build JAMstack sites with a visual editor

## When to choose
- you want a no-code builder with no vendor lock-in, subscriptions, or proprietary formats
- you need static HTML/CSS output you can host anywhere
- you want to combine visual design with CMS or GraphQL data sources
- you value free software and community ownership

## When to avoid
- you need a fully hosted turnkey SaaS with managed hosting and support out of the box
- you require complex dynamic server-side application logic rather than static sites
- you depend on a mature desktop app - it is still in alpha
