You've got a crypto project. Maybe a token launch, an NFT collection, a DAO, or a DeFi product. Now you need a website that actually does web3 things — wallet connect, crypto payments, token gating, maybe an NFT mint button.
The problem: most website builders weren't built for this. You can bolt on a wallet connect widget to any Webflow site, sure. But that's a hack, and it shows. The UX is clunky, the maintenance is a nightmare, and every new web3 feature requires another third-party integration you didn't plan for.
The web3 website builder space has matured a lot in the last year. Some tools are genuinely purpose-built. Some are general builders with web3 plugins stapled on. And some are really just dev frameworks being sold as "builders."
This guide cuts through that. I've evaluated the real options based on five criteria:
- Native web3 features — wallet connect, crypto payments, token gating, NFT components
- Ease of use — can a non-developer actually ship something?
- Templates for web3 use cases — NFT projects, DAOs, token sites, etc.
- Deployment options — IPFS, ENS, custom domains
- Pricing — because shipping shouldn't cost more than your gas fees
Let's get into it.
What Makes a Web3 Website Builder Actually "Web3"?
Before the list, it's worth being clear about what separates a web3-native builder from a regular one with a MetaMask plugin.
A real web3 website builder should handle:
- Wallet authentication — Sign in with Ethereum, not email + password
- On-chain payments — Accept ETH, USDC, or any ERC-20 without a payment processor taking a cut
- Token gating — Restrict pages or content based on what's in a user's wallet (read more: What Is Token Gating?)
- NFT components — Mint buttons, gallery displays, collection embeds
- Smart contract interaction — Let users interact with deployed contracts directly from your site
If a builder requires you to leave the platform, hire a developer, or wire up five separate APIs to get these things working, it's not a web3 builder — it's a regular builder with aspirations.
1. Onchainsite — Best for Non-Dev Web3 Builders
Onchainsite is the only builder on this list that was designed exclusively for web3 projects from day one. It's a drag-and-drop visual builder where the components aren't generic — they're wallet connects, payment flows, token-gated sections, and NFT galleries.
Under the hood, it runs on OnchainKit, Coinbase's open-source toolkit for building onchain apps. That means wallet connections are handled through smart wallets, which removes the friction of asking every visitor to have MetaMask installed. Users can connect with email, Face ID, or an existing wallet — whichever works for them.
What you can build:
- Token launch sites with built-in payment rails
- NFT collection pages with mint functionality
- DAO governance landing pages
- Token-gated membership sites
- E-commerce stores that accept crypto with zero payment processor fees
The workflow is what you'd expect from any modern no-code builder: pick a template, customize with drag-and-drop, swap in your content. The difference is that when you drag in a "Connect Wallet" button or a "Buy with Crypto" block, it actually works — connected to the Base network (learn more: What is Base?) with no additional configuration.
There's also an open-source template marketplace in the works, where community members can contribute and sell templates. Given that Onchainsite itself keeps no cut of crypto payments on your site, the economics here genuinely favor builders.
Best for: Non-technical founders, NFT project teams, DeFi product landing pages, anyone who wants web3 features without web3 headaches.
Pricing: Free beta currently. Worth joining the waitlist early.
2. Webflow — Best for Sophisticated Web3 Sites (With Dev Help)
Webflow is the best general-purpose no-code builder that exists. Its visual editor is genuinely excellent — pixel-perfect control, real CSS output, responsive design that doesn't compromise. If you're building a web3 company's marketing site that needs to look world-class, Webflow is still the default answer.
The caveat: none of the web3 stuff is native. You're adding it through:
- Thirdweb embeds — for wallet connect and contract interactions
- Crypto payment widgets from third-party providers — options have come and gone here (Coinbase Commerce has changed scope several times), so expect maintenance overhead
- Custom code embeds — for anything more complex
That's fine if you have a developer or you're comfortable writing some JavaScript. The result can be excellent. But you're managing integrations that weren't designed to work together, and every platform update is a potential breaking point.
Webflow also doesn't have templates built for web3 use cases. You'll start from a generic template and adapt it, or buy a third-party template that may or may not have been maintained.
Best for: Web3 companies that want a polished marketing site and have developers on the team to handle integrations.
Pricing: Starts at $14/month for basic sites. CMS and E-commerce plans go up from there.
3. Webstudio — Best for Decentralized Hosting
Webstudio is an open-source visual builder that's similar to Webflow in interface but different in philosophy. It's free to self-host, and it natively supports publishing to IPFS — meaning your site can live on the decentralized web, accessible via an ENS domain.
That matters if you're building for an audience that actually cares about decentralization. A DAO's website on IPFS, pointed to a .eth domain, is meaningfully different from one hosted on Vercel. If your censorship resistance is part of the product story, Webstudio is the tool that makes that possible without custom DevOps.
The web3 component story is thinner than Onchainsite — Webstudio is fundamentally a publishing tool, not an onchain interactions platform. You're still adding wallet connect and payment widgets through third parties. But for the hosting and domain layer, it's ahead of everyone else.
Best for: DAOs, activist projects, communities where decentralized infrastructure is a core value.
Pricing: Free to self-host. Managed cloud plans start at $0 for basic use.
4. Appy Pie — Web3 Widgets for Existing Sites
Appy Pie has a web3 website builder product that lets you drop smart contract interaction widgets into pages — connect to Ethereum or Solana contracts, trigger transactions, display on-chain data. It's built for developers who want a no-code interface for wiring up contract calls.
The builder itself is more basic than Webflow or Onchainsite. Design flexibility is limited, and the templates aren't targeted at any specific web3 use case. But if you have a deployed smart contract and you need a clean UI for it quickly, without writing a custom React frontend, Appy Pie's web3 builder gets you there.
Best for: Developers who want a fast UI layer over an existing smart contract, without building a frontend from scratch.
Pricing: Paid plans start around $18/month.
5. Replit — Best for Developers Who Want Full Control
Replit isn't a traditional website builder, but it deserves a spot on this list for a specific audience: developers who want to build a custom web3 frontend without setting up a local dev environment.
Replit is a browser-based IDE where you can write React, Next.js, or whatever framework you prefer — and now with AI assistance built in. For web3 specifically, it recently added a "web3 website builder" landing page that's more marketing than product, but the underlying platform is genuinely useful.
If you're comfortable with code and want full control over your wallet integration library (wagmi, viem, ethers.js), your smart contract calls, and your UI, Replit gives you that without the friction of local tooling. You write the code; it handles the hosting.
The "builder" designation is a stretch. You're still writing code. But for developers, the speed advantage over traditional local development is real.
Best for: Developers building custom web3 dApps who want a cloud-based dev environment.
Pricing: Free tier available. Paid plans for more compute and private repos.

What Most Builders Get Wrong
The mistake almost every builder on this list makes (except Onchainsite) is treating web3 as a feature add-on rather than a core design requirement.
Wallet connect as a plugin means: the user's session state is managed in two places, the UX doesn't match the rest of the site, and when the plugin breaks, nothing works. Crypto payments through a third-party widget means: another fee layer, another TOS to agree to, another point of failure.
Web3-native UX means the wallet is the account. The payment is the transaction. The access control is the token check. These aren't separate systems — they're the same system, and the builder needs to understand that at a structural level.
This is exactly the problem Onchainsite is solving. It's the only builder where the web3 layer isn't a layer at all — it's the foundation.
The Verdict
For most web3 projects — especially non-technical founders — Onchainsite is the obvious choice. It's the only builder purpose-built for web3, it handles wallet auth and crypto payments natively, and it's free to start. There's nothing to integrate, nothing to break, and no developer required.
If you need a world-class design and have developers available, Webflow is still the most capable general builder — but budget time for integrating your web3 features separately.
If decentralized hosting matters to your project, Webstudio's IPFS support is unique and worth the trade-offs.
If you're a developer, skip the builders and use Replit or your local environment with a proper web3 stack.
The web3 site builder market is still early. The tooling is improving fast — and the gap between "what you could build 18 months ago" and "what you can build today without touching code" has closed dramatically. If you tried to build a web3 site in 2023 and gave up, the landscape in 2026 looks genuinely different.
