The.com

San Francisco, CA, United States

Overview

The.com offers a low-code website builder that replaces templates with community-created, customizable blocks users can drop into sites, edit live, and share back to a marketplace. The builder is a floating editor with pages, blocks, and sheets (freeform databases), supports raw JavaScript and custom elements, and includes native chat and collaborative editing indicators (side-by-side editing is planned). The company emerged from stealth with $4.4 million in seed funding and reports a community in the thousands with a couple hundred daily active users. Pricing tiers include a free plan and paid plans at $36, $199, and $1,499 per month; some customers use The.com as a headless front end on top of Shopify. Founders Jeff and Clarke McKinnon began the product from work they did while running a web agency (2012–2019) and shut the agency in May 2019 to focus on The.com. The company is technically headquartered in San Francisco, has a distributed team of 11 full‑time employees (15 total), and plans to hire in engineering and community while continuing product development and rolling out financial rewards for creators.
