Welcome to
Change Maker
Turn any internet connected computer into a website server with open manuals to manage a full digital political campaign. Or, you know, just a regular old blog. For free(ish). With everything running locally on your machine, there's simply no faster way to develop a website and grow your following. 😉
Your content is locally built, inherently secure, and remotely accessible so you can keep control of your site; right down to the bare code. Never share server space with your competition again and stop funding corporate software that is antithetical to your morals. Publish your content on your terms; true freedom of speech.
Build Your Power, Don't Rent It.
