SleekCMS combines a headless CMS, site builder, and publishing layer for structured content and static websites. Users can create a site from a prompt, then edit it with a built-in assistant or external coding agents. Content is organized into Pages, Entries, and reusable Blocks with typed fields and explicit references. A REST API and TypeScript client provide the content graph in one request, and named framework integrations include Next.js, Astro, Nuxt, and 11ty.

Forms can collect leads without a backend; date-time fields can support appointment booking with confirmation emails and calendar invites. Webhooks can send form submissions to HubSpot, Salesforce, Mailchimp, or any HTTP endpoint.
