About Houd

We built the website platform we always wanted.

One that's fast, built for AI, and runs itself without the dev bottleneck or the bloated editor.

Why we built Houd

We've been building companies for more than a decade. Surprisingly, our marketing website has always been a major pain. Either we developped it in-house and waited days for simple copy changes, or we went with a visual editor that shipped heavy, bloated code and took forever to operate.

Neither felt right. It felt like a compromise we had to accept. With AI, that compromise is gone. There's no reason a small team can't have the same fast, modern, technically excellent website as a company with a full engineering team behind it.

Then AI search and autonomous agents changed the stakes again. Now websites needs to be discoverable by ChatGPT, readable by crawlers, and ready for agents to interact with it, on top of having pristine technical SEO scores. Houd handles all of it. Automatically, on every deploy.
