<h2>Stay independent</h2>
<p>Build a home from your writing, away from walled gardens and locked-down platforms.</p>
<p>Add your domain name to keep control of your web presence. Make it your own with a custom theme. Then, know you're never stuck here — you can always export your work, or self-host your site with <a href="https://writefreely.org" title="Write.as is powered by WriteFreely">WriteFreely</a>, the open source software behind Write.as.</p>
<p>Your readers are free from walled gardens, too. They can read your work on the web, via email, RSS, or their favorite social network — even de­cen­tra­lized platforms like Mastodon and Pleroma.</p>
<h2>Free your thoughts</h2>
<p>Built entirely around privacy, we don't track you, so you can write exactly what you feel.</p>
<p>Create a professional blog next to one written under a pen name. Publicize your work, or keep it quiet. <a href="/new">Write anonymously</a>, or create as many <a href="https://write.as/blog/identities">identities</a> as you like. On Write.as, you have full control over who knows what about you.</p>
