■Free, no time limit Windows 10 / 11
Orkestra Control, free edition
The complete software, unlimited sites, no card, and it runs indefinitely. It carries the Orkestra CMS engine and all 53 themes inside it — enough to install a site and publish on the same afternoon.
Self-contained application — nothing to install, nothing to configure.
A free key, asked for on Discord
The software downloads freely, but it asks for a key the first time you run it. That key is free, with no commitment and no expiry date: join our Discord server and ask for it — it takes a minute.
It is also where help, bug reports and release announcements happen.

03The first few minutes
From nothing to a published site
Ask for your key on Discord
Join the server and ask for your free key. It arrives straight away and it never expires.
Run the program
There is no installer: the file you downloaded is the application. Pick your language, enter the key.
Build a local test site
One button, a name, a theme. The software stands up a complete site on your machine, with no hosting and no connection.
Choose how it looks
53 themes, 108 colour harmonies, typefaces and layout options. Everything previews before it is applied.
Publish
Write in the visual editor, or let the AI assistant do it. When you like the site, export it to its real hosting.
And if I want the later versions?
The subscription costs from €200 excl. tax a year — €200 for one machine, €300 for two, €350 for three — and covers every update released during that year, major versions included. It forces nothing on you: the software you already have will keep working whatever happens.
