Our story

We built Coherence Sites because building for the web shouldn't require three different tools and a config file.

A small team of designers and engineers who got tired of watching great work slow down at the handoff. Coherence Sites is what we wished existed.

Made by designers who code

We've felt the friction of translating Figma to Next.js. Coherence Sites is built by people who live in both worlds — so the workflow actually reflects how design and development overlap.

Built for teams that ship

Individual creators matter, but Coherence Sites shines when a designer and developer can work in the same repo without stepping on each other's toes. Collaboration isn't an afterthought.

Code you can own

Every site you build with Coherence generates clean, readable code. No proprietary lock-in — your project stays yours, even if you stop using our tooling.
