The web platform behind Illuminating Software sites
Spider Silk is the content and hosting platform from Illuminating Software. It powers product sites with structured content, shared layouts, media, SEO, and domain publish controls—and it exposes an Agent API so humans and AI tools can manage those sites programmatically.
What Spider Silk is
Spider Silk combines a website runtime (SpiderSilkWeb) with an authoring and operations surface (SilkerWebTool) and a machine-friendly Agent API. Together they let teams:
- Author pages, articles, templates, and reusable page-parts
- Style and script each content item or share CSS/JS through templates
- Publish by binding a hostname to a site version
- Optimize with per-page SEO/OG fields, sitemap settings, and robots.txt
- Automate common ops through authenticated Agent API calls
Designed for multi-site orgs
One organization can own many sites—product marketing, staging hosts, vertical brands—each with its own content catalog and domain bindings.
Publish is a pointer, not a rebuild
A binding points a host at a published site. Swap versions, stage new content, and repoint domains without rewriting every page.
Agent-ready by design
The same operations product teams do in the UI are available over the Agent API: create pages, patch fields, upload files, manage SEO, and adjust bindings.
Who it is for
Spider Silk fits product and platform teams that need reliable multi-site publishing, clean content structure, and the option to let AI agents perform careful, authenticated website updates.
