A design-system-first page-builder toolkit. Strike the right balance for your site — make it easy for editors to create engagement while staying compliant.

Why Inka?

  • Compliance and engagement, not a trade-off — you decide where the dial sits for each site, instead of choosing between locking editors down and letting the design system drift
  • Design-system-first — components declare what they tolerate, so off-system output can't be produced
  • Multi frontend, multi backend — Next.js, Nuxt.js, Astro, plus server-only stacks (PHP, Django, Rails, Laravel) via the server-render pattern; switch channels mid-edit
  • AI under the same constraints — everyone's AI can build you a page; ours can't build one that breaks your design system
  • Evidence, not just warnings — rules a machine can't decide go to the people who can, and the determination is recorded against that version of the content
  • Quick to adopt — enable visual editing with simple HTML data attributes, no React or Vue required in your frontend
  • A toolkit, not a CMS — good out of the box with zero configuration, extensible when you need more; open source and self-hostable
  • Enterprise features — versioning, i18n, workflow, and automated content rules

Try the online demo

The fastest way to feel what Inka does is to log into the hosted demo and edit a real page against a real frontend.

Open <https://hydra.pretagov.com>, log in, then:

  • Open user preferences (bottom-left).
  • Pick one of the preset frontends, or paste in your own frontend URL.
  • Edit any page — every change updates the live preview.

The default preset is a Nuxt.js frontend deployed as an SSG to demonstrate scale-to-zero editing on free hosting. An Astro example demonstrates the server-render pattern for static-first frameworks. See Build a frontend › Deployment patterns.

To run Inka locally against your own frontend, see the Run Locally section of the project README.

Visual Editing

Table

The Table block allows you to add a table to a page.

Image

The Image content type can be used to upload an image in various formats (JPG, GIF, PNG, SVG). The uploaded image should always have a high resolution so that it can be used flexibly, for example as a banner image. Plone automatically delivers the images in the best scaling, so there is no need to scale images down manually.

Editor Guide

This guide is for content editors using an Inka-powered site. It covers how to use the editor — how to select things, edit text, add and move blocks, work with containers and templates — without assuming you know how the site was built.

Teaser

The teaser block allows you to add an element that teases existing website content with an image, a title and a description.
