# Capable Sites

📝

Capable Sites turns your Confluence spaces into polished, public-facing websites hosted on `capable-sites.com` or your own custom domain.

Select one or more spaces, configure branding and access control, and publish - your site is generated as a fully static website with sidebar navigation, full-text search, and responsive design.
