manage your website by text message

Text the change. See it before it goes live.

No login, no page editor, no ticket queue. You describe what you want in a message, a draft and a preview link come back, a person checks it, and it publishes the moment you reply yes.

the short answer

Can you manage a website by text message?

With askotter, yes, and the text thread is the whole interface rather than a notification channel bolted onto a dashboard. The owner sends a plain-English request such as a price change, new opening hours or a seasonal offer.

Read the full answerShow less

An agent drafts the change against the live site and returns a preview link showing the finished page. A person on askotter's side reviews the draft before it is offered for approval. Nothing publishes until the owner replies with a yes, and anything already published can be rolled back from the same thread. Every change is logged with a timestamp for as long as the account is open, and the result of the change is reported back into the same thread with the numbers attached. The same thread also carries the SEO work, the AI search visibility work and the paid channels. Pricing starts at $99/mo self-managed and $600/mo managed. A business needing several people with separate permissions editing a site simultaneously will be better served by a conventional CMS.

one change, all eight steps

A dental practice changes a price on a Tuesday.

This is one task followed from the first message to the reported result. The recordings are the real product. The practice, its prices and its booking figures are invented, which is why they can be shown at all.

01

The request

The hygienist has a gap between patients. The owner texts one sentence: put the new patient exam up to $89. There is no form, no ticket and no login, and the message can be sent from the chair.

What a normal CMS asks for here: a laptop, a login, the right page, the right block, and a publish button you hope you pressed correctly.

02

The draft

An agent finds every place that price appears. The exam page, the homepage offer block, the services list and the schema markup behind them all move together, which is the step people get wrong by hand and then find out about six weeks later.

03

The preview

A link comes back showing the finished page as a patient will see it, on a phone, with the new price in place. Nothing about the live site has changed at this point. If the draft is wrong, the reply is a sentence saying so and step 02 runs again.

04

The human check

Before the change is offered for approval, a person on askotter's side reviews it: that the price is consistent everywhere, that nothing else on the page broke, that the markup still matches what is visible. This is the step that separates the service from an AI writing directly to a live site.

On the self-managed plan the review step is yours rather than ours, and the preview and rollback work identically.

05

Your yes

The change waits. It does not publish on a timer, it does not publish because the model was confident, and it does not publish because nobody replied. One word from the owner ships it, and no word leaves it sitting.

06

Publish

The page goes live on the practice's own domain, typically about three minutes after the first message. The change is submitted to the search engines rather than waiting to be crawled, and the schema goes live with the visible copy in the same push.

07

Rollback stays available

The previous version is kept. Undoing the change is a message, and it takes about as long as making it did. Every change is logged with who asked for it, who approved it and when, for as long as the account is open.

08

The result, reported

On Friday the same thread says what the change did: how many new patients booked, which source they came from, and what it is worth. The next decision arrives where the last one was made, which is the reason the thread is the interface rather than a dashboard nobody opens.

the real screens

The same thread, doing four different jobs.

Every recording below is the product. The clinic, its prices and its booking numbers are invented, so nothing here is a real client's data.

01 · the request You change the price by typing the price. Whiskers spots two slow days, drafts an offer with a preview, and the owner changes the number by text. One YES puts it live.
02 · the check Something breaks, and you hear it first. A plugin update took the booking form down. The message arrived before a patient called about it, and one reply put the form back.
03 · the control Nothing ships on its own. Ask what changed today and you get the answer, including the work sitting still. Anything waiting stays waiting until you reply.
04 · the result Friday, what it booked. Nine new patients from the offer and one from the Instagram link, counted by source, reported into the thread where it was approved.

Screen recordings of the product. The clinic, the garage, the domain and every figure in them are invented, so they show you an interface and never a client result. Nothing on your site changes without your reply, and every change can be undone.

Screen recordings of the askotter product. The dental practice shown, its prices and its booking figures are invented for the demonstration. All ten screens are on the product tour.

what the thread covers

It is not only the website.

The same thread carries every channel, which is the point of it being one thread. You approve the paid budget where you read last week's result.

The website

Prices, opening hours, a service you just started offering, a whole new page, a photo from this morning. How the builder underneath works.

The SEO

The monthly work arrives as proposals you approve, and so does the fix when a page that used to earn calls starts slipping. The monthly loop.

AI search visibility

The monthly report of which prompts returned your business, and who got named instead, lands in the thread. What the work involves.

Paid channels

Google and Meta budgets, the landing pages behind them, and a straight answer on what each one booked. You own the ad accounts throughout.

what it costs

The thread comes with every plan.

What changes between the two is step 04. On managed plans a person on our side reviews every change before it reaches you. On self-managed the review is yours, and the preview, the approval and the rollback work the same way.

You drive the builder and ship the changes Whiskers suggests. The platform does the analysis.

questions

Questions about running a site by text

Can I really change my website by text message?

Yes. A plain-English message is a complete request, so "change the new patient exam to $89" is enough. A draft and a preview link come back showing the finished page, a person reviews it on managed plans, and it publishes when the owner replies with a yes. Most single-field changes go from the first message to a live page in a few minutes.

What happens if the AI gets the change wrong?

It stops at the preview, because nothing publishes without an explicit approval. The reply is a sentence saying what is wrong and the draft is redone. On managed plans a person reviews the draft before it is even offered for approval, so most errors are caught before the owner sees them. Anything already published can be rolled back from the same thread.

Is there a dashboard as well?

Yes, and it is optional. The platform shows every change with a timestamp, the analytics behind it, the site builder and the run log, and it is included free with every plan. The thread exists because most owners will not open a dashboard on a working day, and the two stay in sync either way.

Who is on the other end of the thread?

An agent drafts the work and a person on askotter's team reviews it before anything is offered for approval on managed plans. The owner is talking to an assistant that has a human behind it rather than to an unattended model with write access to a live website.

Can I undo a change after it has published?

Yes. The previous version is kept and rolling back is a message, taking about as long as making the change did. Every change is logged with who asked for it, who approved it and when, for as long as the account is open.

Does the thread work over SMS, or do I need an app?

It works as a text thread on the phone the owner already carries, with no app to install and nothing to keep logged in. The platform is available in a browser for anyone who wants the full history, the analytics and the builder on a bigger screen.

What if several people need to make changes?

More than one person can be on the account and every request is logged against whoever sent it. A business that needs several editors working inside the pages at the same time with separate permissions is a better fit for a conventional CMS, and askotter does not pretend otherwise.
