Peristyle builds and runs your whole site.
A custom blog, migrated from WordPress if needed and run for you. Hosting, backups, monitoring, analytics, performance, and your unique touch are all included.
Run like the big publishers, without the maintenance bill
Most of the cost and complexity of running a WordPress site comes from keeping WordPress itself alive. Peristyle is built on a more modern stack, so that work mostly disappears, and whatever is left is handled for you.
What runs instead
Enterprise infrastructure
Your site runs on Cloudflare's global network, the same CDN, firewall, and DDoS protection the biggest sites on the internet use.
Nightly off-site backups
Content and images are backed up every night to separate storage, with 90 days of history. Restores are included, and tested.
Monitored around the clock
Uptime checks raise an alert on Peristyle's side, not yours, the moment anything looks wrong.
Nothing for you to update
No plugins to patch, no themes to break, no update-day anxiety. There is no WordPress here to maintain.
Easy to consume reporting
Clear reports on traffic, readers, and AI paywall earnings, in plain language you can act on.
Fast by design
Pages render at the edge, close to your readers. Speed is the architecture, not an optimization project.
The build
From WordPress to launched, without losing your rankings
Your recipes, images, and archives move over, your domain stays, and your existing URLs are preserved so your search rankings carry over. Your old site stays untouched until you flip the switch.
The timeline
- Minutes
Your site, in preview
Start at /build and your site is designed around your recipes, your photography, and your voice. You review a working preview at a Peristyle address, not mockups.
- During your free 30 days
Migration
Recipes, images, and archives move over with URLs preserved, so search rankings carry across. Your domain stays yours.
- Launch day
The switch
DNS flips when you say so. Until then your current site keeps running exactly as it is.
- Every month after
Peristyle runs it
Hosting, updates, backups, and monitoring are ours to worry about. You publish.
Built for where your readers are going
Everything in Peristyle Grocery Cart is included with your build.
Your catalog in AI assistants
Every recipe brought in and searchable in Peristyle Grocery Cart, credited back to you with a link to your site.
The AI paywall
When apps and assistants pull your structured recipe data, they pay, and the payment goes to you. Your site stays free for readers.
Loyalty and engagement tracking
See who cooks, returns, and shops your recipes, even when the visit never touches your homepage.

What costs does Peristyle replace?
Hosting, a maintenance plan, theme and plugin licenses, and the separate cost of a redesign. On WordPress those are all separate bills before any design work happens. The build folds all of that, plus everything in Peristyle Grocery Cart, into one plan.
Is there really no upfront fee?
Yes. Add a card and nothing is charged for 30 days; after that it is $89 a month.
Will I lose my Google rankings when I move?
No. Your existing URLs are preserved, your recipes and archives migrate intact, and your domain stays, so your search rankings carry over.
Who keeps the site running after launch?
Yes. Your site runs on Cloudflare's enterprise network, content and images are backed up off-site every night with 90 days of history, uptime is monitored around the clock, and the admin sits behind single sign-on. And because there is no WordPress underneath, there are no plugin updates to break anything.
What happens to my content if I cancel?
It's yours. Export your recipes, images, and archives whenever you like, and your domain always stays in your name.
How does the AI paywall pay me?
You set a small fee for your structured recipe data. When apps, voice assistants, or meal planners pull it in the background, Peristyle collects the payment and sends it to you. Readers never pay; your site stays free to visit.
