Why Tempest
Less CMS, more website
Other free platforms try to do everything and end up bloated and confusing. Tempest is tailored to each project — only what it needs, nothing more.
Clean & reliable
A clean backend, frontend and codebase keep pages fast and stable — no errors, no breakdowns.
Build from your phone
Mobile-first end to end: manage content and build entire websites right from your phone.
A complete toolkit for content teams
On-brand templates
Every template is built to this site's design system, so editors compose pages from blocks without ever breaking the look or making pages feel like different websites.
Markdown & rich text
Write content with a rich-text editor or in markdown — both produce clean, on-brand, styled output.
Nuxt SSR + built-in API
Server-rendered on Nuxt with a built-in API backed by MongoDB — tightly integrated and deeply aware of your content, not a detached headless box.
Edge rendering
Pages are edge-cached and incrementally regenerated for sub-second loads worldwide.
Pagespeed optimized
Image optimisation and lean output keep Core Web Vitals green by default.
Built-in i18n (Pro)
Ship the same content in multiple languages with first-class localisation — available on Pro and up.
Media library
Upload, organise and serve images and video with nested folders and automatic optimisation.
Visitor analytics
Track pageviews and unique visitors server-side from the dashboard — no third-party scripts.
Built on Nuxt
Server-rendered, backed by MongoDB
Tempest isn't a detached headless box. It's a Nuxt server-rendered app with a built-in API, backed by MongoDB as a single source of truth — so it understands your content and its own backend deeply.
That tight integration is what keeps pages fast, complete and consistent, while the edge cache serves them in milliseconds.
